So people won't forget who fucked them up.

    I can't believe Biden would do such a thing

    That's surprising. Based on his previous behavior, I thought his most likely course of action would be to guarantee that gas prices would go down, and then to declare that gas prices had gone down, even though anyone could easily see that they went up.

    And the flip in narrative was as close to immediate as it possibly gets, based on my experience.

    For months, the narrative in part of my family was "eggs is the only thing we could still afford to eat and now they made that unaffordable, too".

    Trump gets into office, part of his messaging was lower prices like day one, yet the eggs continue getting more expensive. And suddenly family is well-versed in supply chain issues, supply and demand, bird flu culling, and so on.

    A year later, though, they literally will not talk about anything that's going on now if there's even a remotely political slant to it (ex: price of gas, new round of layoffs locally). Their current narrative has become "I don't keep up with the news no more. I haven't been on Facebook in months. I haven't heard about that. I ain't been in to town in awhile to see the prices."

    Run this quote alongside his quote where he prioritizes war over healthcare, education, etc. on loop, nonstop until 2030. Never let anyone forget that Trump wants to kill YOU. Yes, YOU 🫵

    At this rate gas prices will rise until we remove dependency from oil from humanity. It's looking like a really good alternative right now. The short-term will be awful

    He most probably has his dirty hands on Venezuelas oil... high oil prices are a feature, not a bug.

    Was it due to Sleepy Joe Biden?

    Or maybe "Thanks, Obama!"

    Wait, 'Hillary's emails!'

    'Hunter's laptop?'

    Look, I'm trying REALLY hard here. Who has been the President? With control of the House of Reps and Senate?

    If it's come to the point where even he's admitting that they'll "remain high", then we can probably expect them to double or something.

    He’s just daring us to remove him.
