Ahh but high fuel prices drive the costs for everything else higher, do they not?

In July 2022, the average U.S. gasoline price was approximately $4.56 per gallon (July) and $4.93 per gallon (June), representing the historical peak for that period.
When adjusted for inflation to July 2026 dollars, these prices are estimated to be equivalent to approximately $5.07–$5.48 per gallon. This inflation-adjusted value is significantly higher than the current national average of roughly $4.00–$4.06 per gallon in July 2026.

Weird. Haven't had crazy gas prices in my area yet.
It was in the $3.20’s in my area a few weeks ago. It was in the $3.60’s last week. Most of the stations in my area are now at $3.79.

I get sacrificing. Just seems like there’s not really an end in sight.
Our culture here in America has become one of whiny bitches who are unwilling to see anything through to a meaningfully acceptable end. We are unwilling to experience discomfort, and we truly need to be hardened by an extended difficult crisis to flourish again as a people.
Trump really weakened his ability to lead when he didn’t keep his proverbial boot on Iran’s throats a few months ago when our initial bombing campaign was hitting their leadership and key military targets. He sensed public opinion souring on the length of time it was taking, so he changed strategy to “make a deal” with people who will never live up to their stated commitments. He showed weakness, and now they are exploiting it. He should continue to eliminate their leaders until we find a group of reasonable leaders there. This may take a lot of elimination.
In any case, high gas prices aren’t a pebble of discomfort to the landslide of pain that is sure to come for our limp-wristed society. Buckle up bitches.

I can see how that could really be affecting your life.
I can’t imagine what your life was like when Biden was telling you his 9% inflation was transitory.

Interesting. Guess I'll find out next time I get gas.

"But Biden"
At what point does this become Trump's economy?
Biden took office in Jan 2021, so your data point is about 18 months into his term.
We are now roughly 18months into Trump's. Should the high gas prices for Biden be attributed to the president before him? What are the rules here?

Has it even been 6 months?
If we as a people can't even make it through 6 months of relatively mild discomfort without emotional struggles, our country will not survive.
As to your question in the OP, yes, it's OK to complain here. It's what we do best.

Sacrificing to help out some Saudi Sheiks and Qatari Emirs and Israelis. Just like our founding fathers envisioned.
If the American people get snookered again into fighting someone else’s war that does nothing but kill our soldiers and waste our money while achieving Zero we are finished as a people.

You can call it Trumps economy anytime you want. I do.
What I don’t do is complain about it especially in light of the economy Biden provided us.
What I won’t stay silent about is gaping vaginas who cherry pick gas prices as the only thing they (can) bitch about because it’s somehow costing them. $6 more to fill up their tank than it did a couple weeks ago while ignoring how badly they got tortured by across the board multi year inflation including gas (on purpose ar that point) during the Biden admin.

Huh?
Poor fella was complaining about high gas prices. I made him aware gas prices are still lower, now by almost 30%, from what Biden's gas prices were at the very same time period.
I mean Biden lost 10 times more soldiers pulling out of Afghanistan than the number of soldiers who paid the ultimate price in this present IRAN conflict.
It is incredible to feel and know how magnificent POTUS Trump has been for the USA, right?

Especially trumps economy!
As evidenced by how hard they have to work to use $50 a month more for gas than Trumps low point per month (while ignoring your point about gas prices under Biden.

Oh, those dollars must be less valuable after the Biden 20% inflation.

Didn’t like the cost of gas and goods then, either.
