Do you know how retail gas pricing works?

No it’s not. The President has no direct control over gas prices…

Government policies, etc certainly affect gas prices but that’s a long term thing, not a flip that can be switched for an election

I saw on Buzz Chat it’s because Trump told Big Gasoline to lower the price or else.

Well a byproduct of an FBI raid in Florida is lower gas prices. Causation, not correlation.

Because data experts don’t beat around the bush after the analysis. We’re forced to, for the clients

I wish gas prices were high enough to reflect the true cost of their impact on our environment and force a paradigm shift. I realize that would disproportionately impact low income communities but so is climate change. Pick your poison.

It's nothing suspicious. They released some from the Reserve last month to lessen the burden. Google for the news.

EVEN IF gas taxes were lifted nation wide, it would save us maybe .2-.3 cents at the pump. Most of those breaks would go to the supplier. Don’t get too excited about your conspiracy.

A data scientist with this much bias is a little suspect.

OP: “Crude makes up more than half of the cost at the pump…[but]…The streak of daily declines in the retail price of gasoline is about to end as crude oil and refined product futures have rallied off their recent lows.” https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/08/11/gas-prices-are-falling-heres-why-its-happening-and-whether-it-can-continue.html

Prices are dropping, but there’s no guarantee they will continue to do so, and they may in fact increase before the midterms.

Didn’t know that Biden controlled the entire global oil pricing.

As a side note, gas price is still too low to reflect the costs that climate change will cost. Kinda sucks though since EVs are insanely pricey nowadays.

@DS first you said it was suspicious.

Arousing or apt to arouse suspicion; questionable.

Now you are calling people who disagree with your suspicion ignorant.

Is this suspicion or fact in your mind?

Also :), it’s Saturday, be kind.

Everything is good, no red flags but I have emotional baggage from a prior long term relationship that led to internal emotional roadblocks.

No idea what to do with misaligned emotional commitment. Any thoughts?
