Soaring gas prices
Yesterday a gallon of gas shot up from $3.33 to $3.75. I remember fours years ago back in the spring of 2020 a gallon of gas was under $2.00.What's the price of a gallon a gas where you're living?

so we only get half a gallon for 3.50.
It was worse a year or two ago, now it stabilized a tad.
Anyhows I think we need Trump back to bring back the optimism.
If possible.
UK and US gallons are different; there are approximately 4.55 litres in a UK gallon but only 3.79 in a US gallon so hard to compare precisely.
Depends where you buy of course as some stations are cheaper than others

not so much
And let's say Trump, our guy, gets back in he can only partially modefy this to the better. Just a tiny litte adjustment down. Cos the damage is done already. Prices went up all over the world cos some (selfish mf's) milked the situation for temselves, and now we can never really get back I fear. However if they had not been allowed to steal it in 2020 and Trump had stayed in charge, well we would not had been in this mess to begin with.

The Red Sea attacks by Houthi rebels, which are forcing tankers to avoid the Suez Canal and instead go round South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, are clearly playing their part, but so have global refinery maintenance closures, the start of America’s driving season all add up to the increases.
Trump could have done nothing to stop the price of crude oil increase.

Pretty much every country worldwide is increasing the cost of fuel at the pump.

Taken from a media site...NACS (article)
Turns out that U.S. presidents have very little control over the price per gallon consumers pay at the pump.
"It’s that they have very little control over it. Yes, policies and legislation can certainly play a role, but gas prices are largely dictated by oil prices and oil prices are dependent upon supply and demand. Presidential control is not as simple as what those posts suggest on social media."

But governments probably have leeway in how they apply these price rises or if they choose to absorb them or pass them on immediately.
I think passing them on is the easy way out because people don't have a choice. Also the big oil companies could surely absorb the blips.
Does the President Control Gas Prices?

even the Mailman has problems!
Higher on middle east tension and could go higher yet if there's war with Iran.
Not my PM;s fault nor Bidens fault for that matter
I know the why's & you should know the why's instead of allowing propaganda to infiltrate your brain
In the UK car insurance prices have shot up by 50 - 60%. So, not just fuel prices that have increased. All allegedly down to inflation. Cost of repairs, paint etc.
If you're a young person starting life with a car, then you would expect to pay over £1000 insurance premium.

Lots of people are upset and prone to finger pointing...
I'll hump Trumps leg any day.
In fact I'd be jelux at that chiahuahua,
I'd kick his nuts
Here in Norway prices went down a notch last year.
Riz is very read up on fake news and then he adds some of his own
for good measure.
At the heart of all inflation is a government who is spending money that it does not have...
As long as we do not get a handle on the national debt...we will continue to see everything cost more...

have a say in ordering pipelines blown up?
Does he have a say in foreign policies including wars?
Does he have a say in how to handle national crises like Covid?
Does he and his government have a say in what countries to put sanctions on?
Does he and his gov have a say in what national energy politics should be on
What about green power and investments vs more traditional energy sources?
Is the present adm for or against fracking?
Basically are you a 100% sure "no president has control of oil prices" whatsoever?
These things are not intertwined?

Who is paying the Scandinavian troll to peddle this shit?...
They also gave us lump sums to offset the cost of electricity. 2x300 euro each year I think.

I added in the info on electricity as further evidence that the government HAS control on costs and benefits.
Hope this clarifies things for you.
It seems that people here actually resent hearing facts.
It's just information, not intended to put anybody down so relax.

I don't resent being told anything if it's true and I am unaware, that's called positive information. What I object to is anyone believing that Trump actually reduced fuel prices and hoping I'll believe it.
Did you read this article.?
What about from a legacy perspective? Can presidents say that they reduced gas prices over their term in office? Nope. Every president since 2000 has left office with gas prices higher than they took office (using EIA numbers):
Bill Clinton left office with gas prices 39 cents higher ($1.06 on Jan. 25, 1993; $1.47 on Jan. 22, 2001).
George W. Bush also left office with gas prices 39 cents higher ($1.47 on Jan. 22, 2001; $1.84 on Jan. 26, 2009).
Barack Obama left office with gas prices 49 cents higher ($1.84 on Jan. 26, 2009; $2.33 on Jan. 23, 2017)
Donald Trump was a relative success story, with prices climbing a mere 6 cents during his time in office ($2.33 on Jan. 23, 2017; $2.39 on Jan. 25, 2021).
So it seems Trump didn't reduce prices they just didn't rise that high.
so - instead in general:
I think what made the prices go up was a combo of covid and Putins invasion of Ukraine.
Then it's up to each and everyone if they will believe DT would/could have
handeled that combo any different than the sitting adm. I know what I feel on that.
Thanks for the blog Shawn.
Can you lay out for us what is the main difference between the former administration and this one so that folk can understand what to vote for. Are you an american, and why did you move abroad.
Ah and please put up a photo now love.

Any male who addresses a female as Hun or Love when you do not know her well is creepy...
I am getting a bit tired of the same old rhetoric that keeps on being perpetuated...

I find the constant Trump posts making him out as the next messiah hilarious and proves how easy it is to mislead the simple minded.
