US gas hits $4 as Trump tells nations to get their own oil

[Dutch Uncle]

I just purchased my gas for the week, and it costed new $15 more than I usually pay.

Get used to it since this will be with us for months to come. In Texas, last week the average was $3.49. This week, $3.89. We should go over $4 by next week at this rate.

Even if Trump ran from Iran today, the problems he created will still exist and won't be fixed well into next year if not the year or so after.

With sleepy creepy at peace it was around 5 bucks

Because Biden fucked up the US COVID response? LOL

Who was President when the pandemic hit?

Gas Prices Cross $4 Nationally as War Continues - NerdWallet

Gas prices are rising as the Iran conflict impacts the movement of oil from the Middle East.

Gas price inflation, explained​

Gas prices surged in 2021 and 2022, largely due to two economic disruptions: pandemic-related supply shocks and then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The combination of the two hit energy markets hard and prices never recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
Here’s what happened:

• In 2019, before the pandemic, the average per-gallon price of regular gas was $2.601, according to EIA data.
• Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the national average increased before peaking at $5.016 per gallon on June 14, 2022, according to AAA.
• Until the Iran invasion, gas prices had retreated, but hadn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels.

It should be obvious that Sybil doesn't drive and, IMO, doesn't even leave his facility.

Yes it is, Sybil. Unfortunately for you, trucks are still required to supply your facility.

What problems? Summer mix gasoline was implemented by DEMOCRATS.

'Alt right' is not a meaningful phrase, Wally. Buzzword fallacies (alt right, reality).

Buzzword fallacies (reality, brainwashed). Lie. Denial.

Argument from randU fallacy.

No, it isn't, Wally. Biden committed four acts of treason. I blame Democrats for the devaluation of the dollar during the last three economic depressions.

Buzzword fallacy (reality). Go learn what that word means, Wally.

Buzzword fallacy (reality). The Strait of Hormuz is open to traffic, Wally. The United States doesn't buy oil from the Mideast. It doesn't need to.

Iran has no say. The Strait is open, Wally.

Incomplete sentence.

It isn't closed, Wally.

There is no blockade, Wally. There is normal ship traffic through the Straits.

Yes you can, Wally.

Irrelevance fallacy.

No, Wally. It is YOU ignoring the price. You can't blame YOUR problems on anybody else.

Buzzword fallacies (supply shortages, system, reality, alt right). Try English. It works better.

Lie. Synthesis.

Lie. Synthesis.

Reversal fallacy.

Attempted proof by contrivance.

But it's math you do not understand. Random numbers are not data, Wally.

You are describing yourself again, Wally. It must really suck to be so paranoid.

Buzzword fallacies (reality). Go learn what that word means, Wally.

Wally stole that word because years ago I referred to him as an alt leftie.

The 'pandemic' or the Covid Hoax (created by the Church of Covid) was caused by DEMOCRATS, Sybil. It started an economic depression that lasted six years.

I see. So he is countering your buzzphrase with his own in a noncreative manner. Sounds like Wally.

The stupid fuck has said that about a thousand times and still can NOT show us where I or anybody else has ever denied making one of our posts.
I think he may have a server mental problem.

My philosophy is to never try to rationalize with irrational people. Is there any doubt he's cray-cray? Probably locked up by his family or in an institution?

 

[Walt]

The Strait of Hormuz is open to traffic, Wally.

Any idea why trump thinks it is not open?

 

[Walt]

Wally stole that word because years ago I referred to him as an alt leftie.

I have no problem with "alt leftie", or the word "alt" at all. I like alt rock. By "alt leftie" do you mean "third way" pragmatic progressivism?

You have to remember, the "alt left" has not been tarnished by Neo-Nazis.

It was kind of you to try to educate the uneducatable. No, Toxic never leaves her house so she knows nothing of the price of anything except what's on the Internet. You can be sure that she will not be looking at any sources that contradict what she wants to believe. It took all of 7 seconds to prove that she is lying about the price of gas in Columbus, Ohio.


Nor does Toxic care -- since Trump got into office again -- how much his failed policies are negatively affecting average people. Likewise, the MAGATs only give a shit about rising prices when a (D) is in the WH. None of us who've been here for very long have forgotten the screeching, tooth-gnashing, and hand-wringing during Biden's term. In fact, the economy was the #1 issue on everyone's minds, and the reason why we have been cursed with another four years of failure.

They have to deny all of reality to make their ideology work. That should be the first warning that their ideology is wrong.

The facts are the Strait is closed, oil prices are shooting up, and gasoline prices are following. trump is isolating between making meaningless threats, and claiming he does not care.

 

[ULTRA MAGA]

Apparently, that is because you are afraid... Sorry to make fun. I should give Ultra MAGA credit for dealing with reality.

I wouldn't call it afraid. Disheartened is more like it. The reality is that the Democrats are fucked up beyond imagination in general. Yet they are still in the game. That's what's disheartening. Trump is fucking things up royally.

Now I'm being told that the DOJ is done with the Epstein case? And not one fucking pedophile scumbag is in jail? A giant sex ring with no customers. Ok.

And if that leads to someone like Tampon Tim, Ilhan Omar or AOC in heightened power then all bets are off. America is done.

One has to wonder when was the last time the reaper stalker biden cock cunt has had a good fuckin'

Blaming the actions of Biden are nonsensical.

Blaming the actions of the Autopen is VERY sensical when it was the Autopen who implemented "green energy" policies on Day 1 back in 2021 and gas prices continuously rose from Day 1 all the way towards the end of 2022, after SCOTUS ruled against a chunk of the Autopen's "green energy" policies. Gas prices still remained above $3/gallon in WI until the beginning of 2024, when it was "election season" once again. I lived through it, Walt... I know what happened. I saw it with my own eyes.

Oil prices spiked worldwide with Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and slowly dropped as the world adjusted to the new reality.

This had absolutely nothing to do with the oil prices spiking. See above. This was just a convenient excuse for Team Donkey to fool their mindless fake news consumers. Gas prices had already been rising for a whole year BEFORE Russia ever invaded Ukraine. Therefore, that invasion CAN'T be the cause of rising gas prices. You need to find another cause (which was actually the "green energy" policies that were implemented on Day 1 of the Autopen's term).

Closing the Strait of Hormuz has caused an actual shortage. That is reality. The full fear of what has happened has not hit, but it will in a few weeks.

The Strait is NOT closed; ships are sailing through it. There is no oil shortage in the USA. There IS an oil shortage in select countries (such as Australia and some EU countries) due to both "green energy" policies and "anti-Russia" policies.

By refusing transit to any ship that does not follow Iran's rules.

Iran can't "call the shots". Iran has no enforcement mechanisms.

Anyone who wants to move cargo through the Strait of Hormuz.

... can move cargo through the Strait of Hormuz.

You cannot buy gasoline below $3.00 a gallon in the USA.

Yes, you can. @TOP can explain it to you. TOP is very good at taking advantage of grocery store "fuel perks" (such as Kroger's "boost" program).

Is that what you say to your ex, Joe? Or do you just rape her as MAGAts are wont to do?

You would think that Mr. Businessman Trump would understand how oil pricing works on this planet, but he apparently does not. He is a shockingly simple man.
