Gas prices

[Ramrouser]

@Ramrouser you doing OK, boss man? I’m starting to get worried that you’ve been kidnapped by a transgender ANTIFA mob. You haven’t been here celebrating all of this economic #winning lately!

Doing great and living the dream. Thanks for asking. Just waiting for news on our new coach.

Oh that’s great to hear. Whew. I was worried, we hadn’t seen hide nor hair of you lately and I assumed the worst that a brigade of blue haired transgender baristas had already abducted you and put you under the knife.

Has Ray has bumped your intern salary with a nice little cost of living adjustment to account for the economic calamity your president has unleashed on everyone?

 

[Ramrouser]

Economic Calamity? Gas prices rise temporarily and the stock market dips from its all time high.

Get back to me when inflation hits 9.2% and millions of unvetted illegals are streaming across the border.

 

[Callatoroy]

Don't forget @Callatoroy who was giddy about this but is now strangely silent.

Im not immune to liberal stupidity and toxicity so the zzl has to be taken in small quantities but im not silent.

 

[dukeman92]

You quite literally cannot fix that level of abject stupidity.

But you can sell it a MAGA hat.

Tell us all why inflation was 9.2%
Oh, then mansplain how Joe Biden managed to deport more illegal immigrants than your God King. I've heard it before but I could use a laugh, at your expense, of course.

I'm glad to see that you are still here.

I would be interested to get your opinion about how we are doing since Trump took office. Has he lived up to his promises he made to to the country and his voters ? Do you see the country feeling better than when Trump took office ?

Ram seems to be living the dream. Are you living the dream, as well ?

I wouldn't expect someone who had to go to Mercer for law school to understand this, but high gas prices mean high diesel prices. High diesel prices mean high shipping/transportation, logistics, building, and agricultural prices. High shipping/transportation, logistics, building, and agricultural prices lead to tightened profit margins. Tightened profit margins lead to supply chain disruptions. Supply chain disruptions lead to increases in prices (this is called "inflation") on almost everything we consume. Increase in prices ("inflation") on almost everything we consume leads to the erosion of the purchasing power of money. The erosion of the purchasing power of money, at the same time as the stagnation of wage growth, or widespread unemployment/layoffs, leads to high cost of living. High cost of living leads to a whole lot of unhappy people. A whole lot of unhappy people leads to, at a bare minimum, tidal wave-esque political change, and at worst, violence and even revolution.

So now that we've covered the economic piece, let's discuss what this means politically. People don't like high prices. People also don't like politicians. People tend to blame high prices on politicians. People who blame high prices on politicians tend to vote against the politicians in power at the time of the high prices. See where this is going?

Liberals, until Trump took office, wanted high gas prices in order to reduce carbon emissions. That's why liberals opposed increased drilling and not building pipelines. Now, when prices temporarily spike due to the Iran conflict, they are hyper interested in gas prices and the harm it causes to the "working man."

I wish you and Biden would have been more concerned with inflation when the administration decided it would be a grand idea to inject 6.5T in new spending (much of it useless DEI and green New Deal spending) into the economy coming off 2020 COVID spending. It's not like anyone couldn't predict what would happen except, maybe, Paul Krugman.

Rs are going to take a beating in November. But, from my perspective, it's worth it to allow Trump to pursue his agenda with abandon. I'm willing to take this beating in order to allow Trump to be Trump by pursuing his agenda through the BBB and to FINALLY address the issues with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. Mass deportations are ugly but necessary. i wouldn't want him to play it safe like Clinton after his first two years in order to keep his poll numbers up. If you try and please everyone you please no one.

Oh, and the Rs will lose this fall because of the natural sway of the electorate and due to Trump's relative unpopularity NOT because the public is in love with the Dems or their policies.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Folks, this is a man coping very, very hard. Like I said, rammy boy, you better pick out those pronouns and genders now. When we're done with you in 2036 you might be personally performing sex change surgeries on illegal aliens yourself!

I do not know a single person who has ever wanted high gas prices to lower carbon emissions. Where do you get this wild shit from?

Ram went to Mercer, from my middle Georgia area?

LOFL. Yeah, you were SO in favor of sending our troops to overseas hellholes last November.

I came to terms a long time ago with the fact that the majority of Americans who voted in the last election share none of my moral or ethical values. That's fine. But it's fucking HILARIOUS to watch you dumbasses run away from the reasons you voted for Trump, for no reason except that he's governing 180 degrees from what he PROMISED you he would do.

I have a lot of friends and family who, idiotically, voted for Trump because they thought it would benefit them financially. To a person, they HATE the motherfucker now. It takes a special kind of spinelessness to be sticking with the Idiot in Chief in these days. If you are, congratulations. You're among the ~35% of Americans who would love the guy if he fucked a sheep on the nightly news.

Just promise me this. Whenever you finally realize Trump is stroking your prostate with his micro-mushroom dick, don't come running here for comfort. You made your bed.
