I suspect you are talking about an increase in the last year reversed, but the main point is that of policy and intent on the part of the Biden administration to cut fossil fuel usage in any way possible and making it known once he came in to office. Too busy to look up the price of gas in California in Jan 2021 but right now it must be at least 20% higher or very close. It is policy that led to the increases. Reduce supply, increase price as a rule. He wants it, he got it.

No, I clicked on the wrong item this morning. My bad. Unlike many other people, I am not afraid to admit when I am mistaken.

CA gas prices rose 25% from the time Trump was elected to just before Covid. Was that also politics?

Diversion. What in the hey does this have to do with Trump? He was our last President, not our current one.

My feelings are so strong that Trump, if nominated, will be the death of the Republican Party. He will lose, and lose poorly because Independents and moderate Republicans find his personality to be that of a despicable human being and will either not vote or vote for his opponent. Things are just a mess right now as there are good candidates out there but those obsessed with Trump seem for now to be in control.

Next biggest dilemma in American is the mainstream press choosing to "gaslight" whatever news they find not to their liking---crime in the big cities, the border, transitory (??) inflation, and yes, gas prices.

2017. $2.42
2018 $2.72
2019. $2.60
2020. $2.17
2021. $3.01
2022. $4.41 with high of $4.94 midyear

So what is it of which you speak....$2.14 to 2.17 for most of the Republican administration $3.00+ and not under in the Dem administration....Just like transitory inflation....Who dun it? You know. But what is transitory?

(OPEC cuts oil production 500,000 barrels per day.)

BBC - Oil prices surge after surprise move to cut output

"The price of Brent Crude oil jumped by more than $5 a barrel, or 7%, to above $85 as trading began."

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65157555

---

This increase is now completely reversed.

---

I suspect you are talking about an increase in the last year reversed, but the main point is that of policy and intent on the part of the Biden administration to cut fossil fuel usage in any way possible and making it known once he came in to office. Too busy to look up the price of gas in California in Jan 2021 but right now it must be at least 20% higher or very close. It is policy that led to the increases. Reduce supply, increase price as a rule. He wants it, he got it.

---

No, I clicked on the wrong item this morning. My bad. Unlike many other people, I am not afraid to admit when I am mistaken.

CA gas prices rose 25% from the time Trump was elected to just before Covid. Was that also politics?

---

Diversion. What in the hey does this have to do with Trump? He was our last President, not our current one.

My feelings are so strong that Trump, if nominated, will be the death of the Republican Party. He will lose, and lose poorly because Independents and moderate Republicans find his personality to be that of a despicable human being and will either not vote or vote for his opponent. Things are just a mess right now as there are good candidates out there but those obsessed with Trump seem for now to be in control.

Next biggest dilemma in American is the mainstream press choosing to "gaslight" whatever news they find not to their liking---crime in the big cities, the border, transitory (??) inflation, and yes, gas prices.

---

OK, let's forget Trump. Since you think gas prices in California are controlled by Federal policy. What was the policy that drove up gas prices 25% from 2016 to 2020?

---

Two different sources:
2016 $2.14
2017. $2.42
2018 $2.72
2019. $2.60
2020. $2.17
2021. $3.01
2022. $4.41 with high of $4.94 midyear

So what is it of which you speak....$2.14 to 2.17 for most of the Republican administration $3.00+ and not under in the Dem administration....Just like transitory inflation....Who dun it? You know. But what is transitory?

---

And what federal policy caused gas prices to double from 2000 - 2008?

Oh wait. That was the Federal policy of needless war in the Middle East that you voted for.

---

And you know "that you voted for" just how, smart arse? Always projecting what others did and believe in without even knowing. You are deflecting as always dajo

---

We all know you voted for George W Bush

---

dajo being dajo. All knowing. Haha.

Yup.
He still hasnt told me where he got his MBA from.
The one that tells him that the POOR have done "better" under Inflation.

Was at Safeway today and paid $4.50 for a 7 oz can of Edge Shaving Cream.
A half-gallon of Milk was $3.49 and a 20 lb. box of cat litter was $12.99

So good to know that the POOR are doing "better" with Inflation and dont have to shave or have any pets to care for.
Great news for the Poor according to Dajo!

Your BOY TRUMP goes down in Presidential history as THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN 120 YEARS THAT DOESNT HAVE A DOG IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

That was the first sign that he was a FRAUD.

You arent very bright are you?

Hourly wages for the past 3 months are +3.8% annualized.

Yeah, the lower classes sure are doing "better" with inflation!

The epitome of deflection. A dodge. Can't answer my question huh?

Shall we go back and dissect your argument that General Lee is an American hero because he chose Virginia over America?

Odontobear said that Robert E Lee is an American hero because he chose Virginia over America? I am very skeptical he ever said that. I'd put my money that is a gross mischaracterization of what he said, and posters will star you anyway because of blind partisanship.

oski003....I very definitely said that but with qualifiers...History, as per the time, showed America as a very young country, with one's affinity for one's own state being much greater than any national feeling. Robert E. Lee owned slaves of which I "never" approved at the same time. But he was at the top of his class at West Point, the best general in the USA in 1859, but he dearly loved his state of Virginia and made the difficult choice of representing same. But then dajo would like to read between the lines and equate me being a "whatever" because I recognize his greatness as a general along with his faults as a slaveowner. Choices were made at that time that were bad choices. I guess the worst was that Lee decimated superior Union forces for years up till near the end.

However, oski, I have been a life long free state Californian who has never had any relatives live anywhere near the south, and in my years at Berkeley was totally sympathetic to Freedom Riders. No love whatsoever for anything to do with slavery, unless one listens to dajo contort what people think. At least this time he came close to what I said.

Jerome Powell will go down as the WORST Fed Chairman in history.
Because you know, Trump only hires the "best" people.
Janet Yellen was only 5' 2".

And now, it's like they are driving down a freeway in the fog and hitting the brakes.
No bueno.

The market doesnt believe them.
It's already factoring interest rate cuts for the second half of the year.

In 2021, Biden hired him to a second term because he and the Easter Bunny also hire the best people!
