Gas Prices

[mean dad]

There is only one person I am aware of saying that. And they have likely never held a gas pump nozzle in their entire life.

oh man besides barfers there are people irl arguing with me about housing food gas etc like it's a normal cost increase. Painful to listen at times.

If they can afford the increase it's not inflation or something, idk.

Well, IIRC energy and food are not included in official "inflation" numbers.

That is all I will say about that here.

LOL, that would be my dad. Seems to think 100K income is still the same as a 100K back in 2000.

Energy is priced into end user pricing as a cost item (inflation).

You first need to express if you're talking about core inflation.

A gallon of diesel and a pound of beef are both more than the federal minimum wage

6.09 for 87 at the Rotten Robbie next to where I live. It's normally one of the cheapest spots in Livermore.

You know, that response might make for a really good analogy for how we got here.....pretends to be pro, shown incorrect, immediately turns into a clown lol.

Absolutely understandable why a poster would want to redirect a joke about bulging midriffs, and we're not even in a house of mirrors yet.

 

[byke]

I like that you mention mirrors in this thread. It pleases me. Somewhere in there.....you know. And I know you know. And it's yummy..

The cheap place went from 6.09 to 6.19 overnight

Don't worry, there's a new fuel formulation coming!
It'll be cheaper, it'll just kill your engine faster... kinda like what they've done with food.
