I wonder if anyone has ever done a research paper into how quickly gas prices rise when oil goes up but how slow gas prices fall when oil prices go down. It's almost like someone is using the situation to make lots of money.


It’s not hard, research it yourself. Crude oil is one component into finished gasoline.

Holiday weekend. Surely you are not that dumb.


I see someone with no idea how market works. GASOLINE IS A TRADED COMMODITY. It doesn’t single out a specific weekend, summer driving season in general yes/more additives prescribed by the government in summer yes.

Also embarrassing is the lack of understanding in here how oil and gas markets work.

They probably were, but their orange deity told them to vote for letlow.

4th of July weekend. Prices will fall after this weekend.


Tell us why the price will fall after this weekend.
You do realize that we import a ton of the oil that is refined and export a lot of domestic due to our refineries running heavier crude than we produce?

As a point of comparison, when oil was last $70 a barrel, gas prices were around $2.85 – $2.90. They are about $3.50 per gallon currently.


You do realize that gasoline is a traded commodity just like oil?

It’s really not all that serious for you all to be freaking out over a text.


His second term has been a most frustrating disaster and his constant lies and obfuscation regarding the Iran situation just to manipulate the markets has put me to the point of being done with him. His idiotic text reads like something aoc or Bernie sanders would put out. If they would have posted that instead of him the same people defending Trump would be howling.

I doubt I’ve ever voted for a democrat in my life. Keep up the deflection though! One day the cultists will realize Trump has pissed off people from all political walks and maybe their eyes will be open to the giant con.

FYI, gas and crude oil are two different commodities.

Do you realize Biden and democrats tweet out the same nonsense? Calling balls and strikes fairly isn’t something that sits well with the cultists.

He’s calling out a real issue that we all say ourselves. Why do they raise prices immediately but then slowly drop them? I


You’d think the president of the United States would be smart enough to know how things work and maybe show some maturity and explain why prices don’t drop the second oil prices fall.

An intelligent person might ask why he is doing this.


He knows his arse is in a bind and it’s possible it will get much much worse. The even dumber Iranians should force his hand, if this doesn’t get get resolved by the midterms you better believe they are getting blown to kingdom come the day after.

I’ve been reading a lot of doom predictions about the reserve drawdowns. Trump hinted at it with his comments about having “four weeks” and not wanting to end up like Herbert Hoover. But, futures prices don’t seem to reflect any of this.


Also, the only thing keeping this going into full crisis mode is China has stopped purchasing oil. No one seems to know why, some think it’s their concern for the world economy. If they begin buying at a clip similar to prior to this mess, it’s going to be very very painful.

Most people seem to think the price is being heavily manipulated by the FED. If something smells, there’s probably a reason.
Does it make any sense prices were falling while the conflict was ongoing? Does it make any sense that we continue to get fake peace deals and headlines every time the oil market starts to heat up?
I swear Trump could tweet out the moon is made of green cheese and his cult of morons would believe it. The thing is the oil market is being heavily manipulated by the us and other governments, reserves worldwide are drawing down to zero. What happens when we get to that point? Cheaper prices are the last thing we need. Trump made his bed when he invaded Iran and now he has to lie in it. If yall think this is high, wait until we hit tank bottoms. Also the strait is far from open, yes, ships are coming out, but only a small fraction are going back in.
quote:

I agree with the vast majority of the policy decisions and focus of Trump's presidency.

I was good with his first term, I think he’s done a good job with the woke bs that has been shoveled down our throat. He did well with immigration , though I think he went way overboard with the optics. Where I have an issue is the continued tweeting of lies and nonsense, mostly pertaining to this Iranian conflict, as well as getting us involved in the first place. It’s a complete and abject disaster and he has himself trapped.

I supported Letlow simply because Trump and the LA GOP endorsed her.


I’m a Republican, but why in gods name would you let someone else tell you who to vote for? Do you feel you are so mentally unfit that you don’t trust yourself to research the issues and select the best candidate?

I’ll vote for letlow, but just voting for the “republican”, especially in Louisiana state races just yields a Democrat that changed their party affiliation when the political winds changed. Most people vote for the R and go on about their merry way and not give 2 shits how these frauds actually vote.

I hate to be the conspiracy guy, but the continued manipulation and lies and neither sides maneuvers making any sense has me scratching my head.

Getting really sick of this shite. The dumbest party in all of this is Iran letting the war be fought on the stock markets schedule.
