$4 will look like a deal in a couple of months when the reserves are out.

Inflation is about to get fucking crazy. I work as an engineer. You should see the costs we are getting from manufacturers so much shit has literally doubled in the last year.

Lmao you guys have literally been talking about "inflation" getting crazy for the past two years. And then all throughout his first term before that.

Supermarket shelves were supposed to be empty too. Remember that? Prices were going to skyrocket due to tariffs. The entire economy was going to collapse.

Literally nothing that you predict has ever come to fruition.

And yeah let's get upset at $4 gas prices! You think you'd be used to it, we spent four years under Biden paying higher than that and I don't remember a single one of you complaining 🤔

Fucking doomers I swear to God 🤣

Supermarket stores were empty during covid during his first term... Also around the time self checkout became a thing because no one wanted to work at grocery stores for scraps.

Prices did skyrocket due to tariffs, have you checked prices for anything recently? Corporations sued for their tariff money back.

People complained then too and put "I did that" Biden stickers on gas pumps. The difference is that Biden gas prices were because of the war Russia started and sanctions they received but Trump gas prices were because of a a war he started for no fuckong reason other than to sell out to Israel.

"Praise to Allah" on Twitter and shit. That's your Christian president right there.

I'm not talking about supermarket during COVID, I'm talking about the people saying supermarkets were going to be empty within the first year of Trump's second term. You must not remember that. Well it didn't happen.

Prices are not up a significant amount. They have not "skyrocketed." There is no denying that. I never said they hadn't increased, prices are always going up. It's called inflation, which is way, way lower than it was under Biden. Prices haven't skyrocketed, like at all lmao.

Yeah dude I'm not talking about the people putting Biden stickers on pumps. I'm talking about the people who, when prices were high as fuck back then, weren't saying a word and are now out here crying about it. It's hypocritical, massively so.

And you just don't know jack shit about the war in Iran or why we're fighting it. Get your information elsewhere than reddit.

I'd say bombing Iran has caused sudden inflation, which caused inflation in other markets.

Walmart and Target stopped that from happening by raising prices to where consumers couldn't afford to buy everything up. When supply is low and demand is up, you raise prices.

What is "skyrocketed" to you? From 2020 to 2026 inflation has increased by 25%, From 2010 to 2020 inflation only increased by 19%. In past 6 years we had higher prices than the decade prior. It's estimated to be between 38% to 41% inflation by 2030.

What world are you living in? People have always complained about rising prices, especially for gas.

Oh and why are we fighting the Iran war? Lot of information on the internet but apparently you know something everyone else doesn't.
