The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That's a great clown pic.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

WH Press Secretary has got to be the worst job in the world where you keep your clothes on.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

You know about the "flak jacket," right?

I think that the US should get rid of the one dollar bill. I know that they have tried to promote the USD$1 coin, but unless you give more of an incentive, it will not work.
I agree. If the US is going to promote a USD $1 coin, they need to stop printing the USD $1 paper money.
In Europe, I think the smallest bill is about USD $5. In Taiwan, it is about $3 USD.
(One country that keeps really small denomination bills is India. And they keep them for a long long time. The money can be quite tattered and dirty and still in use)

pic.I got yer great clown right here:
This is all silly, and a perfect example of a biased news org debating a biased politician. In other words, gas prices are going up because of both factors. But Doocy wants to make it seem like it's Biden-only, and Psaki wants to make it seem like it's Putin-only. These are reasons I don't really watch news or press conferences, it's all spin.

DON’T let them eat cake.

Ratner’s right, but of course I’d say that because he’s making my point.
But @George-K 15 months is a bit of a cherry pick since gas prices plummeted in Q220 due to covid
Yes, and the rise in printed dollars antedates the Biden administration as well to some extent. I'm sure that didn't help.
But to address your point as to "cherry-picking" the 5 year timeline is somewhat different (and we can ignore that "Putin spike" for the sake of discussion).
The Trump peak is in May 2025 at about $3.00/gallon.
The pre-Putin peak under the Biden administration is about $3.35, 10% higher. Inflation for the year is now 7.5%.
As you know, gas prices are only one factor, and a major one, in the cost of living.
I saw another chart today (correlation is not causation, of course) showing the rise of money available compared with inflation.

The average gas price before COVID was at $2.54, Jon.
Of course, it was over $3.20 over most of Obama's last 4 years...

No doubt we will be setting all-time high records soon, but let's not forget the price has been between $3 and $4 bucks per gallon nearly half of the last 15 years.
My guess is that has the potential to put the 70s oil crisis to shame.
But hey yeah, Biden, let's encourage everyone to return to the office!
Please love yourself.

That’s a great idea! Hadn’t even considered that.
