1. Similar exchange on Facebook. Someone posted gas prices under Trump "in case anyone needs a reminder

I replied.

Worst public health disaster ever and over 900,000 people are dead because of one person’s frail ego…just in case anyone needs a reminder

2. Thank you

Because apparently some people do need to be reminded of just how awful 2020 was. sheesh

4. Not going to lie. I was pretty proud of the follow up

you hate the last president so much, you are gonna be a broke bum because your ego gets you off so much with who you voted for. Tragic. Bum brain.

Me: No, some of us know the difference between a dumpster fire and tiki torches.




So far no reply.

5. But is there much difference between a dumpster fire and tiki torches, really?

8. When repugs see this chart, they'll whip out the pandemic

but not when talking about gas prices.

15. They'll ALWAYS have excuses because their excuses are always better than the facts.

And a whole lot more comforting.

11. You gotta love people who long for the good old days of 2020

When Trump encouraged human sacrifices to help the economy and lower gas prices.

16. LOL. At the Altar of Trump

9. She knows that it was that low because people were not driving

The consumption was very low, the oil companies had to lower their prices, it is something that in economics is called "demand/offer", and I have to think she knows that, but as a good republican she has to try to twist facts.

12. It is funny how "supply and demand" is tweaked to make the most money for companies.

The price of gas jumped 10-20 cents a night for the last four nights here in Western Pa. They are charging more for the same gas they have had in their supply tanks for weeks. How is that right? Or even defensible? There are no shortages as of yet, but they are banking on there being some in the future. But that does not mean the gas already bought and stored should be getting pricier by the day.

20. If you knew her, you would know she might well NOT know this.

She is also good at complete denial. As in she would be one of the people standing as the water rose loudly discussing roses because she refused to accept that there was a flood. So, one or the other! (I used to have to serve this woman when she and her hen party would come into the cafe` where I worked in Nashville.)

[NBachers]

10. The pukes will be sledge-hammering this from now until the election.

13. Where was gas prices as low as $2.17 gal?

I drove all over the country for the most part and never seen any prices that low!

[madinmaryland]

18. I paid $1.27 a gallon in April 2020 for regular unleaded. After my Kroger discount it worked out

To 47 cents a gallon. This was in Southwest Ohio.

[live love laugh]

14. After his Saudi friends killed Kashoggi gas ⛽️ dropped significantly.

I paid close attention. And they stayed lower until the month after he left office. They’ve steadily climbed ever since.

[H2O Man]

17. Recommended.

19. Yes, Bury her in FACTS.. Magats Hate

them!

[VWolf]

21. These assholes used to say the same thing during the Obama administrations

"When Bush was president, gas was $2/gallon"

Right. And the economy was in complete free-fall. SMH
