Yes, because high gas prices have raised the cost of everything we use. That, coupled with Brandon's high inflation, we all are suffering. The sad thing is, the lower income, and those on fixed incomes, are suffering the most.

Belinda Kitchen

Yes it's crazy . Here in Moberly gas is 3.11$ to 3.14$ a gallon. In Macon it 3.07$ . Our gas wasn't this high when Trump was in office. Biden you made this a lot worse and here you say your helping the people How ? May I ask ?

Max

Biden and his followers, are shoving communism down our throats, so we can all be equal, equally poor, except for him and his Elites, that is. He has sold America, to China and Russia.

I farm everything we use this year has gone up. Fuel actually is one of the lowest increases. Anhydrous ammonia has more than tripled dry fertilizer has doubled chemicals are much higher also. Dont hear about that any where

While gas prices are high, they certainly are not as high as they have been before when we were paying almost $5.00 a gallon.

RBOB Gas, stock market price of wholesale gasoline. It can be looked at, as far back as July 2005. We were energy independent when Trump left office, and wholesale gasoline was less than half of what it is now.

Max

That was between 2008 through 2014, during the Obama reign. During Trump's four years it was never as high as it is now. Thank you for pointing that out. Let's go Brandon!

Should daylight saving time be kept or ended?

Daylight Saving should be kept because it helps with longer daylight hours and driver safety.

This topic can be a little confusing. I support permanent DST where it would always be lighter later into the evening.

Max

I agree with you, the nuisance of changing all of the clocks, twice a year is nonsense.

Though China is almost as wide as the continental United States, the whole country is officially in just one time zone — Beijing time. And yet this Second World country, is outperforming Biden's New Woke America. Joe Brandon needs a little help.

Prices were up 5% in May compared to last year as the cost of many goods keeps rising. The rise in gas prices is one of the most noticeable signs of inflation.

Why would we expect anything less from this administration?

Max

RBOB Gas (wholesale gasoline cost) has increased from $1.03 per gallon to $2,18 per gallon, since election day. That strongly influences all other prices. Biden is a disaster.

Max

Caused by inflation, remember when we produced more energy than we used? Yes, that was six months ago.

Adam Schrader

Stupid question. Of course higher prices on everything effects one's finances

Michele Scarlet Ridenour

4 boards to replace on our deck was almost 5xs what it was last year. Fuel has doubled since Biden took office and groceries have doubled some have tripled

Randel Hearne

The price rise in building materials has caused me to put off building a new house. When your on a fixed income higher prices effects your purchasing ability.

The price increases are not across the board, so their impact is felt differently depending on what consumers purchase.

The items that have gone up the most have not been things I needed yet, but I feel for my friends and neighbors who are being affected.
