Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

And the flip in narrative was as close to immediate as it possibly gets, based on my experience.
For months, the narrative in part of my family was "eggs is the only thing we could still afford to eat and now they made that unaffordable, too".
Trump gets into office, part of his messaging was lower prices like day one, yet the eggs continue getting more expensive. And suddenly family is well-versed in supply chain issues, supply and demand, bird flu culling, and so on.
A year later, though, they literally will not talk about anything that's going on now if there's even a remotely political slant to it (ex: price of gas, new round of layoffs locally). Their current narrative has become "I don't keep up with the news no more. I haven't been on Facebook in months. I haven't heard about that. I ain't been in to town in awhile to see the prices."
Taking the Mike Johnson approach
Every fucking time
So people won't forget who fucked them up.
They’ll find a way to blame it on Obama
How dare he? After causing black death AND the biblical flood, he's messing with fuel?
Doesn't matter. They have no intention of a fair race.
I can't believe Biden would do such a thing
Thanks Obama!
He most probably has his dirty hands on Venezuelas oil... high oil prices are a feature, not a bug.
Gotta make profits first, then tank the market so the billionaires can buy back in the game to make even more.
That's surprising. Based on his previous behavior, I thought his most likely course of action would be to guarantee that gas prices would go down, and then to declare that gas prices had gone down, even though anyone could easily see that they went up.
Why not both?
Run this quote alongside his quote where he prioritizes war over healthcare, education, etc. on loop, nonstop until 2030. Never let anyone forget that Trump wants to kill YOU. Yes, YOU 🫵
And everyone you know. And a vast majority of the people you don't know.
At this rate gas prices will rise until we remove dependency from oil from humanity. It's looking like a really good alternative right now. The short-term will be awful
So glad I bought a pre-owned HEV back in 2022. Can't imagine what the price for it would've been if I tried to switch now.
Too bad Toyota's CEO turned into a MAGA ball-licker.
"It could be, or the same, or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same,"
Trump told Fox News when asked whether the cost of oil and gas would be lower by the fall.
so… bullshitting as usual.
Was it due to Sleepy Joe Biden?
Or maybe "Thanks, Obama!"
Wait, 'Hillary's emails!'
'Hunter's laptop?'
Look, I'm trying REALLY hard here. Who has been the President? With control of the House of Reps and Senate?
It was Hillary’s buttery males.
Hunter's Hog
If it's come to the point where even he's admitting that they'll "remain high", then we can probably expect them to double or something.
He’s just daring us to remove him.
