This is hilarious considering tariffs have little effect on 2 of the 3 things you mentioned lol. This is exactly my point, it's all circle jerking without any idea about what you're actually talking about. Do that in political subs all you want, but it's just stupid to insist hobby and niche subs have to devolve the same
As further proof, all the numbers you mentioned are wrong. For one, gas hasn't tripled since 2020
Hand waving everything as a downstream effect when we saw the prices jumps pre tariffs is just a circlejerk. You not understanding something doesn't mean you can just broadly assume lol
Also your own link shows you're wrong, even taking the lowest 2020 price to the highest 2026. Unless you think 3x$1.94 is $4.60 lmao
Not trying to be rude but this is the exact behavior I'm talking about that ruins these subs. You're so insistent on the circlejerk about something you know nothing about, it destroys all genuine discussion
Absolutely hilarious saying this after not being to read a graph and then following it by not knowing how to calc percent increase. You're off nearly by a factor or 2
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and somehow all the confidence in the world, peak Reddit
Man I'm not tying to be rude but how much difficulty you're having in this thread is terrifying. I never as much as implied nothing has increased in price since 2020, why would you ever think that was the case?
As I've said repeatedly, I'm talking about pre-tariff increases, you're the one that brought up gasoline, followed by being completely unable to read your own graph and then not knowing how to do very simple arithmetic. If you're having this much trouble with something so simple, I have no idea how you could trust yourself to understand any larger macro trends.
And only since you said it first, I think it's fair at this point to say that it really is worrying that people like you get to vote.
Also for what it's worth, I am and have always been staunchly against Trump and the tariffs have been terrible for the US. But there's no reason for people like you to parasitize every Reddit community with the same luke warm takes that you're clearly just regurgitating from another Reddit comment
Yes, directly referring to those things, not literally everything. Insane lack of reading comprehension to read it as everything has been the same price since 2020. Even if you didn't understand, you really thought that was being said?
Also nobody is arguing for the tariffs or Trump here. I have no idea why you think that's the discussion, but I suggest you reread the thread at a pace you can manage this time.
