I have no idea but most are not existing under a bell shaped curve...is akin to a see-saw. For example, why is money pouring into the Dow? My sense is other sectors are too unhealthy to invest. We've gone from CD stockpiling into equities and I'm not smart enough to know. I do know indicators on the fringes bothers me

I can only use premium gas for all my cars except the pickup. Yesterday I paid $5.29 per gallon for premium (91) in Chevron off I-210

Sure. Like I said there are legitimate reasons to be concerned over the short term.

Debt/GDP ratio is dangerously high. May not be able to recover from this.

Dollar is losing its stature as the default international currency.

This is the worst time in US history to buy a house. Young people are screwed.

Sad? No. I want the economy doing well no matter the occupant of the WH. We own a business and a bad economy directly impacts us.

I don’t like cherry-picking data points to paint a false picture of the overall health of the economy and the American consumer.

The only fact you need is Biden depleted our SPR, not once, but twice to get prices to come down. That should only be done if we are in a catastrophic war or a major disaster. He does it to keep his poll numbers above the Mendoza line.

Good policy would have organically had prices reduced. This president just executive orders things when they see their policies are so bad just to show people like you all is well. Then you eat it up.

You need to open your eyes.

For 20 plus pages, you melted like an insane bitch about a FACTUAL statement Trump made because tho' it was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE, you "read his mind" and decided tho true, it was presented dishonestly.

NOW, cherry-picked half-truths that make your boy Biden look good and you chastise folks for critiquing it?

You are officially the biggest Biden apologist on the board...congrats...

It's not a matter of observation, it's a matter of integrity.

Won't happen with these Biden Bots.

And in retrospect it probably had minimal positive effect and is nothing to worry about

The oil sector struggled to bring production back on line because that shite takes time dude. Now we're producing more oil than ever. The SPR drawdown was a stop gap measure to buy the industry time to catch up. You're welcome to disagree with it but production is driven by the private sector.

My eyes are open

You still didn't bring any facts. Hint - these facts should include things like numbers.

Oil production is at an all time high and we've never been in a better position in the energy sector as a whole.

What sort of miserable person only wants to talk about the negatives?


And

Yet

One of the two political parties is
INTENTIONALLY trying to DESTROY that industry and kneecap reliable energy supplies and personal transportation.

But hey....let's celebrate

They seem to be doing a pretty poor job considering production is at an all time high domestically

Maybe a lot of what you hear is just political fodder for the masses
