Biden's approval rate just surpassed Trump's, again... sign of a blue wave?

    Looks like the inverse of gas prices.

    Labor Day weekend for travel. Always happens. Goes right back down. How have you never seen this yearly trend? Are you sure you're old enough to drive?

    Always is - makes little sense, but consistently plays a big part

    Labor Day weekend is in 4 days. Buy a calendar.

    And looking at Gainesville average prices per AAA, one week ago it was $3.59. It currently stands at $3.62. That's 3 cents, not the 8 you say. A month ago, it was $4.06. That's down 47 cents in a month.

    I did the math for you because I'm sure next you'll have no clue how to use a calculator.

    No but we do have the 6th highest gas tax in the country. And it hurts citizens as the state can be passed through without a stop. Businesses are hurt as travelers avoid our exits.

    Its not a labor day hike. More likely a gameweek hike in Gville. No labor day hike here. Its still a week away.

    Gas prices are not moderating. The average price today for all fuels is $4.67, which is still higher than anytime in US history. Food has not gone down. Rent has not gone down. It's gone up.

    Those rising rents mean that households representing a total of 8.5 million people were behind on their rent at the end of August, according to Census Bureau figures. And 3.8 million of those renters say they’re somewhat or very likely to be evicted in the next two months.
    Census Bureau: 3.8 million renters will likely be evicted in the next two months — why the rental crisis keeps getting worse.

    Maybe they can't pay their rent because they can't pay their electric bills.
    Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

    Biden is raising interest rates to stop inflation by slowing demand. A demand side approach. However, it isn’t demand driving inflation; it’s the cost of energy driving inflation. That’s a supply side issue. They want scarce energy to accelerate the GND and we will all pay the price it. The low wage earner will pay the biggest price. The world needs oil & gas.

    president Biden getting some good news, Let’s see if it holds. But jeesk, is trump now the benchmark? Trump is rated a bottom 5 potus of all time. And that doesn’t consider his post-presidency when he made a positive reference to civil war and he kept kept top secret documents.

    maybe we should use President Obama or W for comparison.

    Just a couple of corrections. First, it's the Fed not the president that's responsible for raising interest rates and secondly, the average price of regular gas (the grade used by the overwhelming majority of motorists) is nowhere near $ 4.67 although my friend probably pays that much for premium to fill up his Mercedes E350 I only paid $3.55 a gallon to fill up my Honda.

    By “details” you must mean lies, since anyone can look at a gas chart and confirm prices have moderated. Cherry-picking whatever that $4.67 number is doesn’t change that.

    Your arrow missed the tree but landed in the Forrest. I agree it is a supply issue. The world has oil and gas but producers have throttled output for profit. US is producing to capacity and any additional production goes to exports. We still need sour heavy crude primarily and we produce sweet light crude - so drill baby drill doesn’t work Getting off of oil over time is the answer. Over time is the piece you righties miss.

    Gas is moderating. It’s down another $0.05 over the last week and is not the all time high. Yes it’s high.
