The job market, inflation and tariffs

and yet he went on to blame the Democrats for gas prices rising.

 

Biden didn’t solve the problem! His fault that we are at war special operating so hard right now.

Obviously, it's because Biden left it empty.

Same as how Biden gave Ukraine all of the military materiel we're now running short of.

What other answer could there be?

 

The real secret is that the oil is actually powering all of those windmills.

 

It's too limited. If this thing does drag on for weeks or months, we'd have used it all for a temporary benefit and then be back in the same boat with no reserves. And oil would be even more expensive because the traders will price in the fact that we have no more control over prices and will eventually have to buy that oil back.

 

Good thing Trump went all in on the Paris Climate deal so these prices don't matter much.

 

As I said in another thread:

If this thing goes for a while, $150 isn't enough either.

Also, Middle East oil production isn't designed for extended stoppages. They don't have a lot of storage. WSJ is reporting that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have already slowed production. That's not a good thing, as it takes a while to get a field producing at the same rate once you restart, and you have a chance of permanently damaging the field, reducing the total amount of oil you extract from it.

 

As someone who is back on the job hunt again, I can at least laugh in a this would be funny if it wasn't so typical.

 

Journalism today.

From this short article ;

"President Trump launched a series of efforts this week to staunch spiking gas prices following his decision to attack Iran.."

"US presidents have limited power to sway the global price of oil, but they tend to bear the blame for rising prices at the pump"

 

Experts are already predicted gas to reach $4.00/gallon by Memorial Day.

 

That's still really cheap. I would currently pay about $8.25 per gallon at the cheapest gas station over here. Maybe stop buying gigantic gas guzzlers.

 

it was out of my control. Headcount reduction. And from the sounds of things they aren’t exactly great.

 

Sorry man. My RIF was early November. From what I hear, outside is the better option, aside from the whole paycheck thing.

Break a leg!

I was actually surprised this administration didn't claw back the $$ from the BIL/IRA funding or get DOGE'd. The Biden administration realized what Trump was going to do and pushed a lot of $$ forward. Other projects weren't so lucky. The other side of that coin is other entities (state agencies, contracting companies, NGOs, farmers who prepaid, etc) were left with holding up their end of the partnership while the Trump admin left them high and dry.
