Yup, gas prices plummeting. Amazing jobs report. What do righties have to bitch about? You hear that? Sounds like a “caravan” heading our way from some Central American country. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Oil is down to under $90 a barrel. We should see another $0.50 or so off of a gallon of gas soon. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

It should help for sure, refining capacity is still an issue so not sure we get ($0.50) out of it. Breaking $4 sure would be nice. That would make gas only up 62% since The House Plant took office. Gas was $2.90 right as the Dems dropped $1.9T on the economy in unnecessary Stimulus Give Aways I got my first Covid Vaccine Shot shortly thereafter, Covid was going to be over with widespread vaccine availability. But the Inflation die was cast without a single GOP vote. Well done Brandon! Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | The price of oil is down due to a decrease in demand and uncertainty over a looming recession. Consumers are tapped out. What jobs increase? Numbers in thousands: Total Employed May 2022: 158,426 Total Employed July 2022: 158, 290 There were 136,000 more people working in May than in July. The economy lost 136,000 jobs over the past two months. More Americans are working part-time — a potential harbinger of future jobs market instability 'The Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported the number of such workers, called “involuntary part-time workers,” increased by a seasonally adjusted 303,000 in July, to 3.9 million. That follows a sharp decrease of 707,000 in June.' |

We should see a fall but then it will move back up. IIRC "winter gas" is more expensive to produce. But is nice seeing it drop. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
