That math only counts for people who are making more money in the present than they did in the past.
When you don't make any money, nominal price changes are the only thing you understand.

People who have earned a living understand charts like this:

And it doesn't even account for the huge increase in gas mileage current-day vehicles have, over older cars.

Gasoline Prices Adjusted for Inflation | US Inflation Calculator

Gasoline prices are often very volatile with sharp swings in what American pay at the pump. The average price of gasoline dropped nearly 17% in 2020.

Here you go again. Just because people say something about how you try to soften shit for Dems doesn't mean they don't know how shit works.

Rob must have given up mid thought. I hear a lot of people have memory issues. Typically they are older.

You'll be the most well informed person on the intrawebz.

I guess Grandma got mad that Rob was taking up all of her internet bandwidth. Couldn't watch Golden Girls so she sent him to bed.

@RobGMN I want you to lie to me... I mean tell me how "historically" Dems are better for the economy. I want you to study this chart. We will use your preferred examples and use the inflation adjusted prices for gas. Pay attention to the highlighted area in green and compare that to the years you know a Democrat was the president. Unless you think I am just trying to make Dems look bad historically by using what you want to use which is the inflation adjusted prices.

Except you have specifically proved here that you don't understand the concept of real pricing versus nominal pricing.
And it's not the only concept of mathematics you have proved you don't understand.

I understand it just fine. I just don't care to play your game.

So you think proved mathematics concepts and calculations are "a game".
Drop out of school, much?

Are mathematics concepts and calculations "your game"?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I see. So you claim proved mathematical concepts and calculations are your game but refuse to elaborate when questioned.
Full of shit much, Rob?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

What the hell?

I claimed that? Post numebr and thread name, please. Or maybe a screenshot.

And, a person's "game" and "playing games" are two very different things.
As smart as you claim to be, you sure have a lot of problems with the nuances of the English language.

Full of shit much, Michael?

The $5K bet offer is still on the table. Walk the walk, kid.

This is exactly what you do to me. Make a claim that I said something or tell me how I think then respond to your own post.

Annoying isn't it, Robert?
