One of my friends (yes I have those things and I hope I pronounced it correctly.. fri..en..dz, lol) posted, "Why are gas prices so high?" and everyone started chiming in President, President, Dang President.... To which I decided to step out of my cabin in the woods like the odd little conspiracy theorist with my big wooden spoon to stir the pot and see how the replies developed after I stepped back away to sit and watch added a comment to the reply feed...
"The overall analytic pricing ark for petroleum products is based on a barrel pricing 6 to 9 month prior. And infrastructure pricing is based on a conglomerate self structured. If you follow the Bloomberg reports and stock markets the prices are self inflicted and inflated to then in turn lower the prices when summer hits to show a influx of income at the point people start getting income taxes so that people will be more willing to spend the tax returns and incomes back into the system. This is the process that has been in place no matter the president or your democratic or Republican governmental backing since the president is not the direct responsible party influencing the overall aspect of this topic but they have the largest title so take the blunt of the blame no no matter if its Biden, Trump, Obama, or who ever. This is the same as the aspect the stores , let's use Walmart as a example, they will inflate their prices before a large sale deal like Black Friday where they can lower the prices to seem like a huge discount when they are still just going back to close to the original cap price to still make a profit. Working for the higher up post that I did for Walmart in the past I can say this with experience that this is true for them. They project how to inflate to reduce above the loss profit margin marker.... so it is is big business doing it and we are allowing it... we also accept it by doing things like paying and accepting $9 for a burger when the burger and the items in the plate probably came from Us-foods and only cost the restaurant on average $1.25 for the full plate and then the soda on average is a 200% markup when from fountain drinks. This is just a little bit of the process and the same thing that any stock analyzer that is not trying to bleed your pockets and lie to you will tell you when they are being truthful. So don't blame the president, blame ourselves for allowing it to happen. Shop at dollar stores more buy generic not name bran(if you research, most generic items are made by name brand companies and marketed as generic through the retailer they sell it through) make yourself aware before you release your money and don't take the flashy ad that promises the best price for your money. If they have to promise it probably isn't the best for your money. Be careful and take care [thank you for attending my TED talk] (*drops mic and walks away)"
Watching everyone come unglued on his post was like setting fire to a coach in the middle of a field and just watching the flames dance in the rain. What a hoot!!!
