I'm not really sure why you're being so abrasive and presumptive. First of all, it's not bullshit that gas prices have gone up a lot even considering inflation. Secondly, I'm not aware of only American things. I understand that gas prices have been the equivalent of $8+ and similar in other countries for a long time. Which doesn't mean that my experience of watching the prices rise so much here is invalid... Relative price increases don't disappear just because the price started so low relative to other markets. And if you're blaming me for trump, not sure what you are hoping to accomplish with that. I cannot wait to hear that the son of bitch died. Everything he does hurts countless people, reaching far into the future. I've literally always despised him and have tried countless times to speak the truth about him to his cult.
i'm not. you just are offended because i disputed your simplistic narrative with some facts that dispute the 'wah gas is so expensive' nonsense, because objectively speaking, it's really not.
other things are. housing prices are legitimately up way over wages and inflation, but gas is not.
your narrative is objectively false information. even if you 'feel' like gas is 'so expensive'.
You're an asshole and a moron, honestly. All you did was make up a viewpoint to be mad about.
right, ok please keep it up with the boomer takes on the economy that are utterly devoid of context because you want to bitch about high prices, despite the fact relative to wages they are not higher, at all..
like the dweebs who whine about video game/console prices being 'so expensive' when they are objectively cheaper.
economics doesn't care about your feelings about the costs of things. call it stupid all you want, the numbers don't lie. your feelings do.
You're a moron because you have no fucking clue what the point is and no one would ever be motivated to explain themselves to such a dickhead. Go away.
