DELIVERING EMERGENCY PRICE RELIEF: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to deliver emergency price relief for American
After averaging just $2.77 per gallon under President Trump, and a price of $2.33 upon leaving office, the price of gasoline skyrocketed under President Biden, reaching $3.33 a year later. It went on to reach a peak at $5.00 per gallon and remains elevated today.
Gas has been under $2.77 since October for me, or at least around there. I'm sure they used "remains elevated" because the current average isn't all that bad.
Yeah, AAA lists the national average at $3.13 today and $3.08 a year ago.
It was $2.79/gallon a couple weeks ago, and is now $2.99/gallon here.
$3.97 for me here yesterday, after a $0.10/gallon points discount, but I have to buy supreme. :(
He basically just told people to figure it out for him...not sure what his actual plan will be. I'm sure his supporters are eating this up however.
The concept of a plan.
Literally says nothing about what they are actually going to do about any of it, just that they are gonna fix everything while they boast about how cheap gas was under Trump last time. All while immigrants working on farms stayed home today out of fear which will literally make food more expensive as crops sit unharvested.
Real, historical image of Trump presenting how he's going to lower the price of eggs:
That guy has too much charisma
Serious question, what work is being done on a farm in January? I realize that the South doesn't typically get cold, but they have planting and harvest seasons too. It was my understanding that these tend to be migrants, who travel to southern countries during this time.
Primarily planting in California in the main agricultural areas. There's stuff being grown that is frost resistant as well, but less than what'll crop up closer to March and beyond. With that said, yeah, the winter is down time for the workers who fill in like contractors for the major farming operations that don't have year round employment.
Well that's how you get out of season crops year round. And states like Arizona, New Mexico, and California do quite a bit around this time of year. It's one of the reasons there's a water crisis too because a lot of these states that have deserts are using water from rivers like The Colorado River faster than it can replenish. Right now it's -5° in the morning where I live, but in those southern desert-like states it's probably like 40°. Temperature wise it probably feels like my October, which is around the harvest season.
Regulatory costs might be borne by the customer but it's worth paying attention to what's being set aside. If the food or water supply rules are loosened that will be a huge problem.
Even if this causes orices to drop it won't last or be good in the long run.
