What is?

I like how you just avoid anything that shows your thinking is totally off-kilter.
A pure example of your hypocrisy is presented and you just blow it off.

Like a child. Cover your eyes and you become invisible.

Yup, that's what I am doing.

When you have to look for a way to make things look like less of an impact then you already know shit is worse. So use your averages, your cost over time, charts and graphs to white wash everything. Doesn't change current economic facts.

Yes, it actually does. That's how math works.

Example: Fred bought Apple stock at it's highest price every month for ten years. Bill bought it at the lowest price. Then they both sold. Bill obviously lost money on his bet, right?
Wrong. They both made money because the price climbed all those years.

You like to claim you paid $1.86/gal for gas under Trump. You do it to "prove" that prices were so much better under Trump. You want the price to "look like less of an impact", so you use the lowest one you can. A price that was crushed during lockdown from pandemic. The other day, you paid the highest price you could, in order to complain about gas prices.
You may have gotten that low price once or twice for a fill -up, but unless you only bought gas on that day and not the rest of the year, the reality is you paid more than $1.86 a gallon.
This is the average for the country. When the average goes up or down, the price is going up or down everywhere. Welcome to math.

The cool thing about fact is that it has no feelings, no opinions, no political affiliation.

You keep trying to throw that last little line of bullshit in there in hopes people will read it and it will reinforce your post. It doesn't. It's that same shit you parrot over and over. That's not my feeling, that's a fact.

Back to your post. There you go again claiming you know better than me what I did, said, paid, ate, looked at, washed with, made per hour, felt, meant to say, actually said and so on.

If I paid $1.00 for something at one time then pay $5.00 for the same thing another time then I paid less for the one I paid $1.00 for. Like I said, whitewash it all you want.

So, you are denying mathematics. If you paid $1.86 when the bottom fell out, then you believe you paid $1.86 EVERY TIME you got gas for the whole year?

If that's the case, then your $5.00 item in the example above is not relevant because you once got it for $1.00, and that is the only price that matters.

So, gas was $1.86 under Trump. It was cheaper under Obama. Were you b!tching about gas prices under Trump? Did you credit Obama for cutting gas prices by over 50%?

I am saying $1.00 is less than $5.00. You seem to think you have to argue that and make it complicated. $1.00 IS less than $5.00 and I don't care how much you want to deny that.

Of course it's less than $5.
But following your logic on averages, you didn't pay a total of $6 for both items, even though the average cost for each was $3, giving you a total cost of $6 for the two.

Because, you know, "averages aren't exact numbers".

But back to gas. You paid $1.86/gallon under Trump. Did you fill up only once in the 4 years, our did you stockpile on the day it bottomed out?

I bought gas daily when I delivered pizza. Yeah... you know better than me what I paid. Suck a lemon.

I tell you what stupid. Go to the gas station and instead of paying $3.69 to fill up your mom's car I want you to go by 2027 prices, let's say $9.89 a gallon and instead of paying $3.69 now, pay the average of the two different times and just go ahead and pony up $6.79 a gallon because in the end you will only be paying pennies more over time or whatever that horseshit is you want to numb us with. Idiot.

So then you did "pay $1.86/gallon". You paid that at one time, and then paid whatever the price was at any other time you bought gas.
Two completely different things. But again, you'll always say "I paid $1.86/ gallon under Trump" to support your narrative.

It's convenient. And inaccurate.

Since you can't COMPREHEND (remember you liked to use that word so often?), I'll say this for a 3rd or 4th time: My mother has been dead for almost as long as you have been alive. I've owned and driven my own vehicles since I was 16. I have had my own houses since I was 29. I have lived under my own roof since the day I moved out. Never had to live with a sibling, family member or friend. Never sucked off the teat of others. Unlike you.

If nominal gas prices are triple in 2027 but my nominal income has not at least tripled, then I will say gas is more expensive.
If my annual gas expenditure as a percentage of my income is the same as now, then I will not consider gas to have gotten more expensive.

If you are mad because you have to work more hours just to have enough for gas and liquor, then maybe you should be working a fulltime job like the rest of us.
That's where math is important. You should try taking a class in it.

Other than being humorous they sure get a rise out of people don't they. Who cares what the motivation is for a meme. If you can't see the humor in them or just see them for what they are then maybe you need to step back and reevaluate things in your life. If you are letting a meme someone posted make you post insults and arguments then you need to sit down because you have gotten way to emotional over a meme.

I've tagged plenty of memes with the laughing emoji. Nevertheless these memes are undoubtedly taken seriously by lots of people.

So easily triggered you are. Poor little fella. Lived on your own at 16 huh? Yeah, where was it that you were able to rent your own place being a kid at 16 years old? How were you making enough money, on your own, to afford rent, food, transportation, insurance... all this while still in High School. You must share your secrets!!!

Even more COMPREHENSION issues. For a guy who screams so much that people can't COMPREHEND, you sure svck at it: "I've owned and driven my own vehicles since I was 16. I have had my own houses since I was 29. I have lived under my own roof since the day I moved out."

I started my first real job (paying taxes) when I was 13. I have over 160 working quarters on the books.
How about you, kid?
