But but Mayorka!

It's funny how the MAGA alternate universe can propagate.... 😃

And those who did not believe this "propaganda" had a higher Covid death rate (see my post above)! 😃

And It's not like cost of living had been one of the major GOP propaganda topic! It's also not like we had been flooded with posts from MAGA fans about it, including memes with fake prices! Oh wait! 🤣 It's quite funny that, as Trump is going to implement inflationist policies the RW talking point is now to downplay the significance of the inflation topic for citizen! 😃

He already takes ketamine against depression.... among other drugs, I guess).

The truth about Covid vaccine effect on deaths! 😃 Trump voters died more than Biden voters because they listened to antivax nutters and had a lower vaccination rate than people who voted democrats! The results suggest that well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic," the authors wrote. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic's effects on those two states say that from the pandemic's start in March 2020 through December 2021, "excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before." More specifically, the researchers say, their adjusted analysis found that "the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters" after vaccine eligibility was opened. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study

What a joke. The article uses the VAERS data, which provides no validation that the reported event is actually caused by a vaccine! And anyone, including antivax nutters, can report as often as he wants! 🤣 The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is one of several different systems CDC uses to monitor the safety of vaccines. VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (any side effect or health problem after vaccination that is concerning to you, even if you are not sure if the vaccine caused the event). Anyone — patients, family members, healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers — can submit a report to VAERS. Healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers are legally required to report certain events after vaccination. A report to VAERS does not mean that a vaccine caused an adverse event. If it looks as though a vaccine might be associated with a health problem, CDC and FDA investigate further and take action if needed. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety-systems/vaers/index.html

The temple of Satan! The French would say: "Satan l'habite"! 😃

Nonsense. The economist cited in the different articles are not Biden's advisers! 😃

How does it support your position? It doesn't show a long term price decrease. About your question. It was obviously the point I was making.

Here's the chart.

Sorry I have edited my post after you replied. Why wouldn't they be able to do what they have basically been doing since you were in high school?

No. Why wouldn't they be able to do what they have basically been doing since you were in high school?

However, the dictator's regime was at least secular. The dumb U.S. Republicans put in place a political system based on religion. The President must be Suni and the PM must be Shia (and Christians left the country because there was no one to represent and defend them)!

Then we agree. That's exactly the point I was making.

Maybe more revenues than if they keep the same production at a lower price. Anyway, until now, that's what they've done so far, and that's the stated goal of OPEC: control production level in order to control prices.

That's how OPEC countries acted in the past. Revenue=Price×Quantity. It depends on how price and quantity variate. On top of it, they know their reserves are not infinite. The article I cited did not claim the increase of U.S. production was the only factor.

The two dotards may find interesting talking subjects For example, Trump canexplain him how to fix pampers properly, according to his own experience! 😀

Yet U.S. oil prices are dependent on OPEC decisions, as I showed.

It's you misinformed by GOP propaganda. 😀 "OPEC ministers confirmed it had secured a cut in its oil production from 33.8 million barrels a day (b/d) to 32.5 million b/d in an effort to prop up prices. Oil prices have fallen by more than half since mid-2014 due to global oversupply and booming U.S. shale production." https://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/30/opec-reportedly-reaches-agreement-to-cut-oil-production.html https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/crude-oil

What authority has the U.S. on this matter?

No. Right on time for the midterms.

And it's not like the OPEC would restrict production in order to keep prices high enough, as they did every time the U.S. increased its production! The main reason why gas prices pre-Covid under Trump were in general higher than in 2016 under Obama.

You could also mention Saudi Arabia, which has been financing the expansion of Salafism/Wahhabism, known for breeding most of the Islamic terrorism in Western countries and Africa.

More golden age predictions... 😃 Economists say Trump could give Americans the very thing they voted against High prices helped Trump get elected. Economists say his proposals could also be inflationary. Lower taxes, new tariffs, and deportations are seen by some as driving inflation and higher rates. The Fed may be forced to hike interest rates if inflation rebounds, raising borrowing costs for Americans. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-election-win-high-inflation-risk-tariffs-deportations-taxes-2024-11
