    Is this the “golden era” that Trump was talking about?

    Not to mention gas has gone up atleast .30 cents a gallon since he took over. “Drill baby drill”

    Seems like the people who would’ve taken me to task on here about this have conveniently disappeared.

    Haven't they been closing stores since the late 90's?

    But we let corporations (and their wholly owned corporate Democrats) convince us that Bernie Sanders is extreme...

    we are still here, just read for our own enjoyment. You people crack me up with your rants
    You people are more upset about who is finding the waste vs being upset that your tax dollars are being wasted on so many non value added programs.

    oh and here are the gas prices...not up 30 cents since the mean orange guy took over

    https://www.finder.com/economics/gas-prices

    and you dont want to see the egg price chart, that looks very bad for Biden.

    Carry on

    I like transparency. Not made up figures.

    I get gas weekly. In December it was $3.35 at my local Costco. Today it was $3.69

    The stock market has been awful since he took office. I had my best years in Biden’s final two years.

    That’s fact.

    The price of eggs typically rises for the holidays and then comes back down again in January. Looks like prices were dropping to start January... And then... Screenshot_20250223_214341_Drive.jpg

    Also looks like gasoline futures have been higher on average under Trump than under the last month or so of Biden. And they had been dropping for quite a while under Biden...

    I don't really see anything here that looks bad for Biden... And of course these are short-term results for Trump.

    First of all you need to get a hobby and not think about me so much and these words are not aimed in the same manner.
