American economy doing better than most.

#ThankYouBrandon

The US inflation rate is 8.5%, and probably on the way down. In Europe, it’s 8.9% and probably on the way up. In the UK, inflation is 10.1%. Europe is either in a recession or about to enter one. In the United States, growth has slowed, but the job market remains remarkably strong and employers still can’t get enough workers.

There are some places here in Missouri where you can get gas that cheap, provided you’ve racked up enough points through their membership program, meaning you didn’t actually save anything at all, because you had to purchase a cart full of other things first.

But other than that, gas prices are “only” $1.50 more now than when the President was in office. Yay, Sniffsters! :rofl:

Inflation on the way down is part of the WH refusal to accept reality by fomenting hopes, lies and bull ■■■■■
This winter’s energy costs for Americans to stay warm will most likely drive inflation up.
“Employers still can’t find enough workers”
Well no ■■■■■ In the last two years you’ve been coddling workers to stay at home and get paid. You’ve penalized businesses that tried to stay afloat and shut down schools.
Now corporations who’ve made it possible for workers to stay at home and work in their pajamas can’t get them to come to a 3 day “in the office” work week!
The horror! :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

If you are just as productive or more at home and there are other companies willing to let you stay on work at home, why is that bad???

250

Agreed. Working from home has been one of the best things for me. I no longer waste 7 hours a week commuting. Not to mention the gas I save. My quality of life has gone up exponentially.

Amazing things happen when you sell off one-third of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during an election year.

It’s still a mess and I just don’t see things getting better anytime soon. Where are you now on the likelihood of a significant recession?

256

Gas is just a little higher than the pre-covid price. Seems to be coming down still too…

257

i clearly showed the 2.75 price in texas.

Rbob is the wholesale.

2.45 right now.

I definitely still think we are going to see a significant recession.
Although unemployment remains strong,
Things like
low GDP + housefold debt and/or
low GDP + household disposable income
are so negative we could call it a recession now and I would not dispute.

I have (at least once) predicted a cming recession would be worse than it turned out to be. So it does not do a lot of good for me to describe how deep I think the recession will get.

I can say for certain the “housing collapse” recession was marked by
1.) A collapse in housing prices
2.) A huge bubble in credit swaps
3.) A crash in stock market prices
and that this time two out of three of those are sure to happen.
