What is?

“I am complaining about current gas prices COMPARED to past gas prices.”

I thought you said you didn’t give a fvck about what prices were in the past and that time is not relevant to pricing?

You painted yourself into a corner because you argued math concepts you do not understand: The value of a dollar adjusted for time.

Nope no corner. Nice try though. It points out the shortcomings of your geriatric presidential puppet. Trumps gas cost less at the pump than Biden's gas at the pump so I am going to biitch about it if a so choose to do so. If Biden is all about America and ALL of us US citizens then why isn't he trying to be better for us than Trump, why isn't he lowering prices below Trumps prices, why isn't he out Presidenting Trump into the ground!!!!!!

See, We ALL knew this was you plan, you goal, your end game. It's wrong because you set the prices. Once they were set, you set yourself up for failure. So you failed. You don't need to play these dumb games Rob. Just say what you mean and stop trying to prove something. You could have just saved time, included what we ALL knew you were going to do which was to keep talking about inflated numbers and cost vs/over time. Do us all a favor and just get to the damn point next time.

What do you mean I “set the prices”? I set the starting price and a (wait for it) CALCULATION was performed on that number to give a 2022 equivalent.

For the love of all that is good, please tell me you understand how an inflation calculator works and what it means.

Here's a calculator for gas. The past 8 months average gas price in the US is $4.20.
Is that more or less than the adjusted price compared to four years ago?
Four years too long? Try TWO years ago.

Since you do t seem to have reguygsi Gil employment, I’ll tell you that people in the workforce make more money over time.
Along with that, the prices of the goods they buy increase too.
When I was paying a buck a pack for smokes, I also was making a lot less money.
For some crazy reason, they raised cig prices over the years, just like they raised my pay.
Math.

None of this matters Rob. You set a price in 2016 and one in 2022. You did not state any other information. Since there was none given it must be surmised that the prices are the prices and when comparing both prices the 2022 price is technically more than the one you gave for 2016. You should have given more information like the fact that you were going to use inflation to compare the two. Since you didn't, that is just your mistake. Not mine. Sorry.

I hope she better than me in every way...but she definitely more secure with herself than you buddy

You’re baiting the wrong guy. It’s Thxone that would respond with some perversions about her. Not me.

I’m secure enough to know that I can smoke you and many others here into the weeds in an intellectual debate, and have proved so many times.

Hell, you didn’t even attempt to answer the simple math question I asked multiple timesThx at least took the 50/50 shot. He was wrong, but at least TRIED. Maybe you should have asked your kid for the answer?

Yep because a secure person boasts about intellectual superiority on an obscure car audio forum

Oh I don't think so. I wasn't wrong and you can't prove I was wrong.

Huh? I gave you all the info that was needed. When I explained one was bought in 2016 and one bought in 2022 and asked which cost more, you HAVE to take inflation into account. It’s the ONLY way to know which cost more.
You took your 50/50 guess and got it wrong.
Math.

Had I given the exact 2022 amount, I would hope that you would have caught on and said “they are the same”, so I rounded it off. And you got it wrong.
At least you tried, kid. Spokey couldn’t even do that much.

Incorrect. You gave little information so the information given must be taken literally. The number given for 2022 is technically and literally more than the number given for 2016. You cannot dispute that.

Why not? Better than boasting and being proved wrong over and over again.
Im not a bullshitter. I’ve called bluffs here before. Poseurs get quiet fast when that happens.
Funny.

Also considering income doesn't adjust as quickly for inflation as price of goods...

No you change the goal posts or add in factors to benefit you're need to be right...

What you should have ask was if I bout this car in 2016 for this much money would it cost more with inflation than this car bought in 2022 for this much money? Then you could use your inflation and averages and estimations and mathematical trickery. K, fella.... got it?

I’m not anonymous. I’ve given my info. FakeJesus quit the site after he sold it to a real estate company instead of just calling me and having a convo with a human.
Said he was afraid of the crazy people here.

More talk. Can you hack it up? Like the claim I “misuse facts” to be right?

Quotes or links to posts would be acceptable proof.

Are you proud of making someone quit the forum?...that's how these places die...if you don't care about the existence of caraudio.com...then don't be here...but don't think it's bragging rights to assist in it's downfall ffs...
