Price of gas is almost 5 bucks a gallon here in Ohio.

Oof. Yeah the other day I told my nephew after I picked him up from school. I'm like, you support Trump, give me 50 bucks. Heh. Nah, but I'm hoping ppl will be more allergic to bullshit now that the results are speaking for themselves. Ahem. Normally I don't post politics. But we be coming up to a crescendo.

But, I have said for a long time, even before Trump, that if there were a leadership change in Iran it would go a long way toward world peace
@fanuc2013 says
it would go a long way toward world peace

Obama solved the Iran nuclear issue in 2015 with the JCPOA agreement.

tRump unsolved the Iran nuclear issue in 2018 when he blew up the JCPOA.

tRump's current goals are remarkably similar to the JCPOA he blew up.
@fanuc2013 The hilarious part of what you just said is that Iran is not attacking anyone, they are being attacked, and by the US, which you are implying is the role model, so who is affecting World Peace the most?

Yep. US average gas prices now are $4.30, up from $2.87 at the end of Jan 2026. That's a 50% increase in 3 months, quite a price shock!

High energy prices, specifically oil price shocks, have been a contributing factor to roughly 4 to 6 major U.S. recessions in the last 50 years. Nearly all post-World War II recessions saw preceding oil price spikes, with major examples including the 1973–75 oil embargo, the 1979–80 energy crisis, the 1990–91 Gulf War recession, and the 2007–2008 financial crisis.

Just think if he didn't lower the cost you wouldn't have known they raised.
@lomaine NOPE. You said
Just think if he didn't lower the cost

Your pronoun, 'he' has antecedent tRump. You appear to be trying to slip in the claim that tRump lowered gas prices. That is what I'm pointing out.

@ElwoodBlues you're not pointing out anything you're just being argumentative.

That makes no sense. We can notice high gas prices regardless of whether or not they have been high earlier. The graph makes that pretty clear!

Sales of EV's are through the roof. I was out driving the other day and there were 5 Teslas in a row in front of me, and these were not dealer cars. Tesla's are everywhere here.
Give the finger to Trump and buy an EV.
Dont worry. It will go higher..😷

USA has oil reserve for next 3 months , if nothing changes price will go up a lot.

@Khenpal1
You don't have a solid argument here. What you're saying has no relevance in the current situation with Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
Khenpal1 · M
@swirlie what argument ? Trump can't block oil export from USA . Only act of congress can limit export , hardly going to happen. When shortage happens , price is going up . It may take 5 months to return to normal.
swirlie · 31-35, F
@Khenpal1
I should have said, you don't have a solid rationale for your perception of oil exports from the USA.

And what oil shortage are you talking about as it pertains to the USA?

The USA is being supplied by Canada for the vast majority of American crude oil. There is more oil in the ground in Canada than there is in the entire Middle East.

@Gibbon it'd be nice to have more neutral real news instead of all this firehose propaganda. (Yes, I'm proud of myself for knowing what that is lol)

Crescendo? 🤣

Don't look now, but the USA is actually looking down the barrel of a total economic collapse, not just a mere crescendo.

@Prison1203 Being a MAGAt isn't about proving you don't care how bad things get because of Trump, it's about showing the world how proud you are that you don't care.

$7.00 a gallon in Australia, and you are complaining
@NeddyKelly And of course we drive cars that get more than ten miles to the gallon..Do Americans really need a 2 metre tray to carry the weekly shop??😷
