Is this where I saw people saying how much gas cost in their area?

It's 3.49 a gallon here give or take a couple of cents. Depends on where you go.

I don't do anything that requires a regular commute or travel. A buck extra on a tank of gas isn't going to break my bank--like ever. :roll:

The same people driving 80k trucks are complaining when eggs go up a dollar with zero self reflection.

Lately, I’ve been surprised by how many Trump supporters must be buying at least 20 or more cartons of eggs per week, which is the only thing I can imagine accounts for their social media rage about them.

You have to admit that inflation is pretty terrible over the past while:

Which of those did Biden (or Harris) cause, and which of those will Trump fix?

Bonus points for describing the fix. This is important if ‘higher prices’ are being used as a reason to vote for candidate ‘x’.

Triple bonus points if you can solve the mystery. Also, tell me how the puppet Harris caused or did anything.

Are you saying that she didn’t fly in Haitians to eat people’s pets?

I don't think she is allowed to do much and wouldn't be if she won. Those supporting/controlling her know better.

OK. So, Harris is off the hook for inflation and pet-eating Haitians.

How about Trump? Will he be exerting personal creation and control of his Administration and its policies, between wolfing down Mickey Dee’s and rage-Xitting? If not, who do you suspect will be pulling his strings, and for what aims?

It's not so black and white as you and those here seemingly always want it to be. She is a controlled politician but not off the hook for allowing herself to be controlled. She could go off script, but doesn't. I don't know if she could in front of a crowd. Every time she has it's been a failure. Nevertheless, the actor in these situations still has some responsibility.

Regarding inflation, we injected way too much money into the system via the Care's Act and Trump and the Republicans are responsible for that as well as the Democrats and Harris. The vote was 96-0 in the Senate and Harris voted for it and Trump signed it into law. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/116-2020/s80

This is why Trump voters shouldn't trust him. He's one of them, just not keen on following their prepared scripts.

The Cares Act was possibly the biggest upward transfer of wealth ever and we can thank our Wall Street loving politicians for it, all of them.

Obama did the same thing when he chose to bail out the banks instead of prosecuting them for the fraud mess they caused:

I think this article below summarizes why the Tea Party, Trump, and Sanders populism exists (threats to society because they bitch too much and won't blindly follow the likes of Clinton, Kerry, McConnell, and Romney):

Why would you post such an idiotic graphic that lights up the entire page, and hope to be taken seriously? I paid $2.39 for gas last week. Eggs are $1.29 a dozen at the local Kroger, roughly what they were 4 years ago. A ton of these numbers are either outdated or just flat out wrong, and the idiotic quip "Since Kamala has been in office" shows just how dumb the person was who put this thing together. Since when in the hell are Vice Presidents responsible for prices of consumer goods?

What your graph also ignores is that wages have been skyrocketing as well. In fact roughly 20% increase since Biden/Harris took office. So that offsets the bulk of all of those numbers you're flouting about.
