Low gas prices just in time for mass layoffs when people aren’t driving to work. Whomp, whomp.

“Gas is too high! He said gas would be cheaper! Too high!!!!”

Gas prices drop.

“Cheap gas is a sign of an economic apocalypse. No one needs gas now.”

It's a sign of a slowing economy. That aside, which of his policies lowered gas prices? (not counting tariffs wrecking the economy of course)

It’s not about policy or actual gas prices, it’s about the way posters here flip flop to attack the current administration. It’s ridiculous.

It was very fair of me to attack and criticize Biden during his term and ever fairer for me to criticize and attack Trump during both of his disastrous terms. If you don't want people like me criticizing and attacking awful presidents, stop electing awful presidents!!! I promise I'll shut up if you knuckleheads elect a normal president in 2028. Until then, I'll be here to remind you of our awful leadership since Obama left office. Sorry not sorry.

Gas prices were low under Bush because of Kuwait and same for second Bush re Iraq war. The Saudis and OPEC tend to raise prices when democrats have the white house and hence the reliance and fascination with gas prices as a reflection of the economy and also part of why Donald Rumsfeld and the democrats have been pushing for energy independence away from fossil fuels.

Between electricity prices and healthcare costs, the GOP may have to make an attempt to govern. Enough criticizing from the sidelines. The GOP is in charge and it’s not impressive.

Are people so ingrained in a cult that they cannot look critically at information to understand the actual state of our economy?

In general, Americans are stupid with finances. They used to buy a house with a 30 year mortgage in your 30's, keep it and raise a family, pay it off, and then cash out at 60ish and downsize.

Now people use their house as an ATM through a HELOC, blow out any equity they have and live in high debt year-to-year. They flip their house every several years to keep up with the Joneses and take out 96-month loans on the Eurosedan all with the expectation they're gonna work until they're one-hundred.

People are not just stupid, they're f'n stupid.

Ooof. We are in a top 1-5% HH and until our most recent car, which we lease, we have never bought a new car.

What's ridiculous is when folks don't understand how supply and demand works? If not as many people are commuting - and there is no other external shock such as the pandemic - then the prices will fall. The drop in commuters can all be traced back to Trump.

It will be released on December 16, after the federal reserves meet to vote on cutting interest rates. The December report will combine both October and November job numbers.

Why after? The dismal jobs report would help tilt the odds the fed cuts rates.
