with gas prices peaking in June, I guess it's not shocking. next month should be better, but yeah was hoping some of that drop - there was certainly some gas price drop from June 16-June 30 - would make the monthly number look better. 

It just keeps getting better and better. 
 

Just imagine if Manchin and Sinema buckled on Build Back Better?

August delivery gasoline futures down over $1 since their height on June 9th

Yeah, just imagine, we'd have more money flowing into solar energy, which was the leading industry for new jobs in recent years.  Just imagine the horror.

I think we’re good on jobs as of right now. Unemployment is clearly not the issue. The issue is around inflation, particularly due to energy prices and irresponsible fiscal stimulus. Try to keep up.

Wrong!  Try again though.

Then what is it?

Inflation for sure, but the stimulus was needed during the pandemic and to head off the economic downturn.  Jobs are still plentiful and companies are now having to pay much higher wages due to the inflation on top of a smaller workforce.  The pool of good candidates is lower.  What is needed is training in up and coming industries, such as renewables, to increase the pool of candidates and the higher pay.  A good way of making this happen is funding renewable energy projects in areas such as coal country where jobs are still hard to find.  Good paying ones at least.

So print more money will fix this issue when printing caused it

I don’t know, ask the Republican president (George H W Bush) who started the investment tax credit for renewable energy back in the early 90s.

Regular unleaded down to $4.39 a gallon at local Costco.  Sweet!

US should be the leader in this 

 

We should be looking to build nuclear plants and oil refineries west of the Mississippi in some of the more remote areas. Hell build them right next to each other.

Not so much the Euro tanking but rather the Dollar kicking ass everywhere

pretty annoyed that wing prices have not started to come down a bit. I'm still paying like $16 for a lb of wings even at dives. (or what passes for a dive bar in central bucks)

I drove through north Texas and got $4.11.

We are a large investor in a company that sells a ton of wings. The price never comes back down. We saw no drop in demand when we raised prices.

I'll never understand wings.  All that work, all that mess, very little payoff.
