Demented Donnie is saving us money by the fistful!! Gas is only a dollar more than it was when he took office.
All hail the Diapered Dozing Dear Leader!!!

Quite a different story from your previous claim that it continued to rise after the OPEC deal ended in 2022.
Did you forget your post, or did you simply not understand what you heard someone else claim, and repeated it?

"explain why gas prices continued to go up after 2022 then plummet shortly after Trump go into office."

Sorry moron, but Trump didn't get back in office in 2022. And gas prices continues to trend down until Trump took office.
Ask someone with an education level above 5th grade or so to explain to you how a chart works.
View attachment 72199

After 2022, prices continued to raise higher than 2021. Can you not see that? I thought you knew how to read a graph. You still haven't answered why prices shot up so high in 2022. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't because of Trump.

instead of me asking a 5th grader how a chart works, maybe I should have that 5th grader show you how to read. I didn't say Trump was president in 2022, did I? You call me a moron, but yet you don't know how to read.

Explain the Spike" in 2022. Which one of the dozens between the beginnig of the OPEC deal in May, and the end of the OPEC deal in April 2022 are you talking about?
Again, ask someone with higher than your 3rd grade education to explain it to you.

Hate to point it out, again, but you really don't know your facts. Since you are too stupid to read and present facts, I'll help explain why oil prices shot up in 2022. They shot up due to the war in Ukraine. Maybe that 3rd grader will draw you a picture of it. You're so fricking stupid you can't even Google topics.

The Santa Ynez was built to hold and provide water for houses and inhabited buildings.

Gee, did a 3rd grader have to tell that? Now tell 3 reasons why it was built. Not what it does.

Still waiting for you to name the "ONE" water tower thjat feeds all of LA nd the Pacific Palisades.
Did your fire chief friend blow you off when he found out you made such a stupid claim?

Again with your inability to read. I didn't say there was only one tower, and you're stupid for even thinking I said that. Your buddy was right, you are old and senile.

No Executive Order can make other countries bend a knee to the US. Biden could have signed a HUNDRED EOs, and it wouldn't have made a sh!t bit of difference to the OPEC+ deal that Trump agreed to.

"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Biden administration asked Saudi Arabia, the de-facto leader of oil producer group OPEC, to delay its decision on oil output by a month, the kingdom said in a statement.

The Saudis declined, and in early October OPEC+ — which includes non-OPEC oil exporters like Russia — announced its largest supply cut since 2020, to the tune of 2 million barrels per day starting from November. That means tighter supplies and higher prices at a time of already high inflation and worries of a global recession, which angered U.S. lawmakers who are now calling for a “reevaluation” of relations with the Saudi kingdom.

In a statement dated Wednesday, the Saudi government defended its move and said all OPEC decisions are based on economic forecasts and needs.

“The Government of the Kingdom clarified through its continuous consultation with the US Administration that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the OPEC+ decision for a month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences,” the statement read.

But you said Trump made a deal with them. If that's true, then Biden is allowed to break that deal. So, what is it? Was it a deal or was it an act that OPEC put in place? You should get your stories straight.

I guess you were passed out drunk when all the snowflakes were making up bullsh!t stories in order to not wear masks, were wearing them under their noses, were wearing Nazi masks to show their rebellion?
Show us your conviction. Sit in a room with someone who has pneumonia, and let them cough on you.
Have a surgery done by a doc not wearing a mask or gloves. Let a dentist pull your last two teeth without having scrubbed up.
Yeah, you'd never do any of that. Just like every other COVID-denying idiot, you're all big talkers, but deliver on nothing.

LOL... can you hear yourself? You are calling people who are fighting against the government a Nazi? A Nazi is someone who believes in government control. Next you're going to start preaching that the Republicans created the KKK.

As for spreading BS, the dems were saying you can't get COVID if you were vaccinated. If so, then why did a vaccinated person have to wear a mask? Even Fauci was preaching it.

Now, show us again how the countries and states that didn't shut down had the most deaths.

You want ME to show the facts to support your claim? Not how it works, child.
You make a claim, it's incumbent on YOU to support your claim.
Hundreds of studies show the efficacy of anti-COVID measures. YOU claim the measures didn't work.

Show us YOUR studies that disprove the hundreds.
Not your claims.
Not what you believe.
Not a regurgitation of what you heard Trump say.
SHOW US YOUR ANALYSIS.

Here you go. Now if it was as bad as you say, then all the states, that didn't shut down and require masks would have the highest deaths. Not so! Please explain why that's not true.

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023| Statista

As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.

THE SANTA YNEZ RESERVOIR WAS BUILT TO HOLD WATER. THAT IS WHAT RESERVOIRS DO. WATER THAT WAS TO BE USED FOR MUNICIPAL SUPPLIES TO HOUSES AND INHABITED BUILDINGS.

1.0 The Santa Ynez River System supports the County of Santa Barbara’s South Coast andSanta Ynez ValleyThe Santa Ynez River flows westerly approximately 90 miles to the Pacific Ocean, draining a nearly900 square mile watershed in southern Santa Barbara County. The watershed is bounded on the south by the Santa Ynez Mountains, on the north and east by the Santa Rosa Mountains and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Between 1920 and 1952, three reservoirs were constructed on the River to capture and store River water. The three reservoirs currently have a combined storage capacity of about 200,000AF. Two of the reservoirs are owned and operated by local entities while the third and largest of these,Cachuma Reservoir, was constructed by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation. None of the reservoirs are operated on a safe yield basis and therefore reservoir water users rely on other water sources to meet demands at times when the reservoirs cannot deliver their normal draft. Currently, the combined draft on the three reservoirs is about 32,700 AFY. .

So tell us: What is your obsession with the Santa Ynez Reservoir, when you are dumb enough to think there is onyl one water tower to feed LA and the Pacific Palisades?

Again with telling us what is does. I guess we need to get you a 1st grader to explain what the word "Purpose" means and how to follow simple instructions.

Lets see if your tiny brain can understand and follow this simple instruction. "Give me 3-reasons why the Santa Ynez Reservoir was built?" My obsession with this is to continually prove that you are a liar and too afraid to tell the truth and admit when you are wrong. You are too much of a liberal tool to be able to think on your own, and I have continually proved it.

That makes no sense at all, and only makes your claim look stupider. Falling prices that are rising higher?
Damn, you are simple.

Explain the "falling prices that are rising higher" concept.
Use this graph to illustrate it.

instead of me asking a 5th grader how a chart works, maybe I should have that 5th grader show you how to read. I didn't say Trump was president in 2022, did I? You call me a moron, but yet you don't know how to read.

It was your statement, not mine. A statement you claimed not to have made, which was the point of sharing it.
If you can't remember your own posts, you should probably give up.

Hate to point it out, again, but you really don't know your facts. Since you are too stupid to read and present facts, I'll help explain why oil prices shot up in 2022. They shot up due to the war in Ukraine. Maybe that 3rd grader will draw you a picture of it. You're so fricking stupid you can't even Google topics.

You just crushed the claim that gas prices went up because of Biden. Good job.
Did they start to rise pre-Ukraine/Russia because people were EXPECTING the war?

Gee, did a 3rd grader have to tell that? Now tell 3 reasons why it was built. Not what it does.

Are you suggesting it wasn't built to hold water? That was just a lucky by-product of the construction?
Interesting.
So, tell us what it was built for, if not to hold water.

Again with your inability to read. I didn't say there was only one tower, and you're stupid for even thinking I said that. Your buddy was right, you are old and senile.

You said there was one tower, and I quoted your post multiple times. Shall we go again?

But you said Trump made a deal with them. If that's true, then Biden is allowed to break that deal. So, what is it? Was it a deal or was it an act that OPEC put in place? You should get your stories straight.

Ask someone with an intellect above yours (3rd grade?) to explain what it meant when OPEC said no to Bidens request to alter the deal Trump entered.
Ask them to explain to you that other countries are not beholden to the US to accept an EO as a rule they are to follow.

LOL... can you hear yourself? You are calling people who are fighting against the government a Nazi? A Nazi is someone who believes in government control. Next you're going to start preaching that the Republicans created the KKK.

The KKK was founded by Confederate of the then-Democrat party, which is now the Republican party.
I read my post several times. I can't see any referecne to Nazis. Were you drinking to the point of hallucinating when you read it?
Clarify WTF you are even talking about, if you can.

As for spreading BS, the dems were saying you can't get COVID if you were vaccinated. If so, then why did a vaccinated person have to wear a mask? Even Fauci was preaching it.

What doctor told you that you can't get sick if you have a vaccination?
Did you know that masks are designed to prevent you from sharing YOUR germs with others?
Do you think surgeons wear masks and gloves to keep from getting YOUR disease? Are you genuinely retarded, or just pretending?

Now, show us again how the countries and states that didn't shut down had the most deaths.

You're the one making the unfounded claims.
Show us your hundreds of studies that prove your claim. It's not my job to prove your bullshit for you.

Here you go. Now if it was as bad as you say, then all the states, that didn't shut down and require masks would have the highest deaths. Not so! Please explain why that's not true.

Again, you're asking me to prove your thesis for you. Not my job.
Do your own work.

Again with telling us what is does. I guess we need to get you a 1st grader to explain what the word "Purpose" means and how to follow simple instructions.

Purpose is the reason for which something is created, done, or exists.
The Santa Ynez exists to hold water. It was built to hold water. That is its purpose.

Lets see if your tiny brain can understand and follow this simple instruction. "Give me 3-reasons why the Santa Ynez Reservoir was built?" My obsession with this is to continually prove that you are a liar and too afraid to tell the truth and admit when you are wrong. You are too much of a liberal tool to be able to think on your own, and I have continually proved it.

It was built to hold water. That is its purpose for existing. Why do you need three reasons, and what is your obsession with the reservoir when you think the LA and Palisades area only has one water tower?

Explain the obsession. Or are you just marching lock-step with the other idiots who are obsessed with it and think it mattered?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

By the way, the four states with the lowest per capita COVID deaths were Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire.
They all implemented lockdown orders during the pandemic.

Tell us how you can translate that into "COVID lockdown was a failure".

I'm sorry. I overestimated just how dumb you are. Let me explain this another way. Biden took office in 2021, then prices started going up. in 2022, it spiked because of the war. 2023 was still higher than before the war started. Prices didn't drop way lower until after Trump came into office.

It was your statement, not mine. A statement you claimed not to have made, which was the point of sharing it.
If you can't remember your own posts, you should probably give up.

I remember you bringing it up once before, and it was something you mis-read.

You just crushed the claim that gas prices went up because of Biden. Good job.
Did they start to rise pre-Ukraine/Russia because people were EXPECTING the war?

When was prices the lowest? Hint: Trump
When were prices the highest? Hint: Biden.
Conclusion? Gas was higher under Biden's entire term, versus Trumps terms.

Are you suggesting it wasn't built to hold water? That was just a lucky by-product of the construction?
Interesting.
So, tell us what it was built for, if not to hold water.

Why are you so childish. You know damn well what is meant, but you're like "I'm too much of a lib tool to answer what are the reasons for it being built, so I'm just going to continue to walk about the question like a little *****."

You still show your colors and by doing so, you lost this arguement.

Bottom line here is, by you skipping around the facts and the questions, you prove that you are full of crap and you are unable to admit that Biden was a terrible president and Trump has, in fact, done some great things.

The reservoir was built for these reasons:

• Provide drinking water
• provide fire protection.

If you Google it, those to reason pop up on the first page.

Again, you buddy is right about you being a lonely little old senile man living in a trailer park in Duluth.

Demented Donnie is saving us money by the fistful!! Gas is only a dollar more than it was when he took office.
All hail the Diapered Dozing Dear Leader!!!

That isn't the price of gas moron. You are being stupid on purpose, yes? That is an AVERAGE, a NATIONAL AVERAGE for the price of gas... I know this because it says NATIONAL AVERAGE. Used as a barometer if you will for the economic heath of gas prices. I paid $3.13 a gallon this last fill up. Did you pay $4.02? Nope, not in MN. Why is that Robbie?

Are you suspecting that we don't know that those states have the lowest populations in the country?

Vermont - Est. Population 647,000
Maine - Est. Population 1.4M
New Hampshire - Est. Population 1.4M
Hawaii Est. Population 1.4M and very remotely located

OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE LOWER PER CAPITA COVID DEATHS. THERE ARE LESS PEOPLE!!!!

I think you forgot how dumb YOU truly are.
Stop changing your story. Explain to us all how the prices continued to rise after mid-2022, when the OPEC deal ended.
Use the chart to illustrate the claim.

I remember you bringing it up once before, and it was something you mis-read.

You did it more than once. Previously, you credited Trump for a reduction of Fentanyl deaths that happened while Biden was POTUS.
You really need to work on your understanding of dates and history.

When was prices the lowest? Hint: Trump

Hint: You need to learn how to read a graph. And I'll mention that who dates and history skills thing again.

When were prices the highest? Hint: Biden.
Conclusion? Gas was higher under Biden's entire term, versus Trumps terms.

And that absolves Dozing Donnie of promising a 50% reduction in energy costs with gas $2 or lower, but instead delivering us well over double the promised price and 50% increases.

Why are you so childish. You know damn well what is meant, but you're like "I'm too much of a lib tool to answer what are the reasons for it being built, so I'm just going to continue to walk about the question like a little *****."

It was built to hold water. TREATED water. What is TREATED water used for?

You still show your colors and by doing so, you lost this argument.

Still waiting for you to explain your obsession with the reservoir, and your belief that there is only one water tower to serve LA and the Palisades.

Do you simply not know the source of your own obsession and belief?
