I'm in the Pacific Northwest; gas prices have been slowly decreasing here at least since the summer. Of course oil prices often tumble when economic growth slows, and I suspect that the big oil companies jacked up gasoline prices before the 2024 election because they favor republicans.

To be fair, gasoline prices have been decreasing.
Having said that, groceries, healthcare, education & housing costs are steadily getting worse. Jobs are becoming scarce. The wealthy are sucking up all the oxygen from this economy.

The truth Kimmel said which cost him his job:
"We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it."
Yes.
Zohran, please speak out in defense of free speech: Kimmel just got pulled for mildly criticizing the regime.
I donβt know when itβs going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...
