Such bullsh!t. When are you guys finally going to realize that this dude is absolutely incompetent in this role?
Maybe after you post a couple thousand more times whining about him

Can someone please point to where I said anything about the number of political threads on page one and who started them.

Kids are paying THOUSANDS of dollars for prom dresses? From the one dress pictured they do so to look like transvestite hookers. Where does the money come from? Tough to convince me we are in an economic crisis if folks have thousands for prom dresses and thousands or at least hundred for phones.

"Max has 12 threads that he has started on Page 1 at the moment, 11 of them political and several of them just ranting about Mamdani and trannies."

Or because they don’t earn enough to do otherwise? Why do you dismiss this?
I don't dismiss that some don't earn enough, that is true, but for the majority of people living pay check to pay check it because they are not good with money, they don't plan/budget well, eat out often than needed and impulse buy, often using credit rather than cash. This is not new

Sorry inconvenience.
I didn't say it was an inconvenience for them either, I said for the mass majority it was an inconvenience.

That doesn’t make this “insignificant”.
Who said it was insignificant?

Yeah. When something essential like gas jumps 50 bucks a week over the course of a month for them that is significant.
That didn't really answer my question. Most people living paycheck to paycheck, MOST, are doing so because they are not good with money or at controlling impulse buying, it's sad but it's true

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted May 8-11 finds that 64% of Americans say that recent increases in gas prices have affected their household’s financial situation
Grass in green and water is wet. i don't need a poll to understand that, still not a crisis.

I’m not so sure about inconvenience. Something like 60-70% of US lives paycheck to paycheck, right?
Did they live that way before? I'd be willing to bet they did. This just forces them to spend more on actual necessities.

You have me confused with someone else. I almost never willingly travel east of the Mississippi river. I haven't been to NYC since right after 9/11. It's entirely possible I never visit again, unless my kids really wanna go. I have less than zero interest in visiting giant northeast cities. Don't care for them.
Philly, DC, NYC, Baltimore... nope. I'd make an exception for Miami though, I've never been.
Skip Miami and just go to Miami beach

Life is good for you. You seem to be able to vacation four times a year. Good for you. Seems it was just a month ago you were able to vacation in New York to catch some shows and hear Kamala speak.
Pretty sure that was Tim

Not for you, perhaps.
I spent a couple weeks driving on vacation recently and watched prices go up in real time. I'd wake up and it was 4.29, go to bed and it was 4.49, wake up the next day and it's 4.59. The whole trip probably cost me about $250 more in gas than it should have. Not a crisis, that amount of money won't ruin me or you.
But there are people that are massively affected by this and would call it a crisis. We're fortunate enough to not be in that cohort.
People in the situation you refer to are always going to be in crisis, it will always be something. For the mass majority of people in the US this is a inconvenience at best/worst.

Good. Personally hoping for all these issues to be hammered out and we go on a huge tear. We unwind the some of tariffs that are nonsensical, the Strait gets opened up again, and we get politicians that focus on doing work and not getting re-elected from day one. I’ll take one out of three!
I'm just going to roll with punches for now and rather than bich and moan about blame I'll let my vote do the complaining.

I assume your opinion is it wasn’t a crisis in 2022?
Correct

Ok. I guess the question is where was this same type of response when Donald and the GOP were filling their diapers about costs just a few years ago.
People with zero savings spending a hundred extra bucks a month on gas alone it may be a crisis. But sure it would be great if things were all toned down and everyone was in this together. That is tough when the top guy is the biggest shittalker hack there is though.
It's not a crisis, not matter who you blame for the increase.

I didn’t say you did.
Giving my explanation as to why people are bitching about prices. When dumbfuk Don has countless tweets about gas prices blaming the Prez, when Republicans in Congress have hours of interviews talking about costs crippling Americans, when there are pages of MAGA’s crying about gas and the cost of living…this is what you get. They sound kind of absurd saying well it’s different now, or well you see this is why, yada yada.
Costs are much higher than last year. People are being impacted just like they were in 2022. No one wants to hear excuses, not then, not now.
I'm not here to place blame, I'll leave that up to you, but that doesn't change the stupidity of the skyscreamers calling it a crisis

I’m not sure about crisis, but it’s certainly not good.
Never said it was good, never placed blame on anyone and/or denied blame, simple pointed out it's not a crisis and constantly proclaiming that it is a crisis is just theatrics or stupidity. I'll let you make up your mind which one it is
-

It’s a given that gas prices and a whole bunch of other stuff are way up over last year. Why get into this?
Because it's not even close to as bad as the Skyscreamers keep claiming it to be, it's nowhere near a 'crisis'
