And as for gas prices in particular, people are barely scraping by and any drastic fluctuation in the cost of essentials threatened stability.

Absolutely. Also why I want to throat punch every person I hear make jokes about egg prices.

Gas is even worse because for most people that rely on it, there is no alternative. You're beholden to whatever price they decide.

Thank goodness we got schooled by the Dems when they got all foamed up over those "I did this!" Biden stickers.

The president doesn't control gas prices you idiots!
