Thanks O'Biden !

LOL- and that is it. Sleep it off.

With the wild fluctuation in the general price of things, 1 dollar more per gallon isn’t all that bad really.

2 .50 to 4 $ a gallon is not 15%. Quit spinning Gov't bullshit.

Luckily you corrected me that inflation is actually much higher than 15%.

Yea #34 overall
While there are certainly political factors to why gas is more now than 3 years ago, you should also consider that everything is more expensive than 3 years ago, by almost 15%.

Which is also political.

Very true. I was gonna try and play with the idea that the only thing both sides generally agree that Trump did well, was keep gas prices low, and instead just chalk it up to general inflation but the other dude took the baton and left me in the dust lol.

The economy was good under Trump. All you have to do to see the difference between then and now is look at your 401k.

And he is the Leader of the US!!!! What a crock of shit!!! Laughing stock of the Entire World!

I was expecting 2 people in white coats to come out and escort him off the stage.
“There there now, it will all be just fine…time for your applesauce and cookies…”

I changed companies and moved most of my retirement stuff at the end of 2020 so I can’t really do apples to apples. I know dudes closer to retirement age were shitting bricks for a bit but it seems to have evened out for them.

If you are referring to me, sorry my man. Not here to try to call people out or smoke them. Sorry if I offended or pissed you off- not my intention. I apologize.

Well the loss was only on paper as long as you weren't retiring, but that don't mean you still didn't lose tens of thousands of dollars. Because you did. And the decrease in your balance means you made less money off your money. So it's exponential. So no, not evened out.

No no I’m not offended at all. I thought I was reaching for straws at 15% and then you gave me a boost

 

[84superchamp]

It’s more than a side-note that as the push for EVs becomes much more prominent, the price of gas keeps increasing. Those two go together extremely well.

I retired 2 years ago and have lost only about 75K. Tough to swallow, but you have to move on. I need to follow Nancy Pelosi's moves. The ugly bitch makes all the right trades at the right time. Go figure.

I've got about 10 to go. I'm ok. My wife is a CPA and a Financial advisor. She was getting me 21% a couple years ago. I have been afraid to ask since then. She says we won't be eating cat food, but I think my big plan of retiring to a life of coke and hookers is out.

Good luck. I could always go back as an RN if I wanted but don't need to. Everything is payed off and an empty nester so don't need much. Claiming SSI early next year before it is drained.

It Appears that the US Government Is Totally Corrupt​

5/10/2023

It doesn’t make much sense to investigate the guy who brings you the allegation rather than the allegation.” — Former Federal Prosecutor Bud Cummins

On October 4, 2018, Bud Cummins brought evidence to the attention of US Attorney Geoff Berman of criminal behavior by Vice President Joe Biden. Instead of investigating Biden, Berman investigated Cummins. This is the Department of Justice today. The DOJ is just as corrupt as the FBI, which is part of DOJ, the CIA, NSA, FDA, and all the rest. Try to find an honest federal agency or institution.

If you don’t believe the FBI is corrupt, consider the Hunter Biden laptop. The information on the laptop revealing clear criminal behavior has been known for years, and nothing has been done about it. The corrupt FBI even declared the laptop to be a Russian plant in an effort to influence a US election. Really.

The corrupt FBI refuses to release information, thus blocking the House Oversight Committee from oversight and revealing, yet again, the utter weakness of the legislature in holding the executive branch accountable. Basically, Congress is powerless. All the federal government needs to do is to utter the words “national security” and Congress collapses.

The FBI’s coverup of the Biden father-son crimes enables the corrupt Democrats and their media whores to allege that the reports of Biden family crimes are “anonymous innuendo.” But, of course, the information on the laptop is not anonymous and neither is former federal prosecutor Cummins.

To protect Democrats from real crimes federal officials commit perjury, and to falsely accuse President Trump they commit perjury again. One wonders if Republicans understand the fight they are in.

See this and this.
