The general electorate is in the dark and unrealistic in their perceptions. I try to explain some common pain points in rational terms. You may not be happy, but it is where we are. Deal with it.
When I bought my first car, gas had moved up to $1.50 and that was shocking. As a kid I remember the $0.50 a gallon days and it was always full serve!
I’m not an economist either, but I have a brain and I understood the ramifications of the pandemic and why things are the way they are. I’m aghast that people prefer to memory hole what the Trump admin was really like.
I remember the 70’s - I am a proud graduate of Maui High School Class of 1978. During the oil crisis we had gas rationing. My father was an ER doc, so he would get twice as much - the gas station owner, Mr Toda, would call my dad to come fill up!
I remember circa 1998 visiting a customer in Texas. When I was there, gasoline went above a dollar a gallon, and I swear everybody I ran into was freaking out (I lived in California, and we had been north of $2 for quite some time.)

Yeah, that was a weird time.

People are completely irrational about gas prices
