Driving back from airport and the obligatory “gas is crazy” talk after passing $4.49 sign.
He said it’s crazy because the costs haven’t gone up for the gas companies, they’re just making more money. I told him oil has gone up from a low of under $10 a barrel under Trump to over $100 under Biden…”well, I’ll have to look that up”. I pulled the USOIL forex chart up on my phone and told him to scroll through that. He was shocked.
Crazy how it is possible people have no idea. Should be an interesting week.
My FIL had to explain to his college educated, 40-year-old, Biden voting daughter what inflation was because she doesn't understand why things keep getting more expensive. When my husband, her brother, spoke to her on the phone the other day she asked him, "do you know what inflation is???" like it's some new discovery or something. Hopefully she's learning? Who knows how much these liberals truly piece together before they go back to their scheduled programming session designed to correct wrong-think.
Man there is so much still to be done
