Don't know how others look at it..... but in the cold Midwest in the winter, those who do not have a heated garage to keep the EV in are screwed. You can plug it in outside... but by morning it could have even less of a charge! All of the energy is used up in just keeping the batteries warm! Not very feasible.
@jmski52 said: jmski said stockpiles are drained...hence no more supply.
My understanding is that more than half of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (crude oil) was sold off, some of it to China - specifically to lower gasoline prices (and the CPI) for political reasons during the driving season.
That was so 2 years ago.
The brilliance of this move is such that now that the Reserve has been depleted, prices have risen back up and gov.com now doesn’t want to replenish the reserve because of the higher costs.
Depleted? Check your research.
They sold reserves in the $90s and today is $70s. Check your research.
So now, just prior to the election they’ve been draining gasoline reserves to keep gasoline prices from rising and to create the illusion that all is well in paradise.
Gasoline reserves are one of the most stable stockpiles averaging about 225 million barrels.
The first hint of a supply shortage will put us all in a major bind. Mismanagement at its worst. Carry on. Times are BOOMIN’ says blitzie.
Wouldn't you say that "depleted" means supply shortage? So either it isn't depleted and you are misinformed or your just regurgitating political BS.

Up +2.3% overnight. I don't think you know when we will have a supply shortage, but I can guarantee you that the price will go up when demand is higher than what's coming in for a few weeks or months in a row. There's NO reason to be cutting it so close.
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
“Skyrocketing grocery prices have been a major pain point for American families since the pandemic-era inflation surge. Compared with four years ago, grocery prices are up more than 20%.
Grocery inflation has eased in 2024, with annual price increases hovering around 1%. Even so, Americans have noticed that what goes up, doesn’t always come down and grocery prices are unlikely to return to what they were before inflation took off.”
LOL. The big news from your link: "Online grocery prices fell 3.7% in August compared to a month earlier."
Simply means July prices saw a correction in August while prices still remained highly inflated.
From the same link: "Compared with four years ago, grocery prices are up more than 20%."
Sorta like thanking the IRS for a $100 refund on the $20,000 I paid in taxes.

There seems to be two extremes on this (and every thread). The truth lies in the middle. In this bifurcated economy, those with money are doing extremely well. Those that struggle are really suffering.
My reality is that inflation is a big problem - cost of groceries is way up (as noted above 20%). My wages have not gone up anywhere close to that. Fortunately, again I am in the middle of this as I can afford the increase without a major strain on my way of living. The concern is how long, if we keep this up with the middle class exist? Will it be wiped out in my lifetime, probably not, but we need to figure it out.
This applies to nearly all the items that we discuss in this PM forum, BRICs, the dollar trade, FED rates, government spending, etc. I'm not close to doomsday, but we have to be aware. To me government spending is the item that need to be changed immediately.
"Online grocery prices fell 3.7% in August compared to a month earlier."
The devil is in the details. ONLINE grocery prices. How many get all their groceries online? Maybe I'm the odd one out.... but I sure don't. I shop in the physical stores for 95% of my food, and I sure have not seen many reductions.
But this type of article is typical of the misinformation / incomplete information society we live in today. They are all geared to getting clicks, and to achieve the source's goal.
I'm sure some items have seen some reductions here and there. After, we are in an election year, and some things can be manipulated for the time being. (gas prices? How much is left in our strategic petroleum reserve? ) We will have to wait until next year to get a more clear representation of where inflation really is, assuming our reliable? news sources allow a true picture of the situation.
Inflated grocery prices are not the result of "price gouging" as some would lead you to believe. They are the result of higher prices for everything in the food supply chain before the food gets to the retailer. You would be surprised at the very low profit margin for grocers.

That is certainly a broad brush characteristic on your part regarding the lower income group. While there certainly are those who do spend a lot on smoking, there are FAR more who do not. According to the CDC smoking statistics:
About 18 of every 100 adults with low income (18.3%)
About 12 of every 100 adults with middle income (12.3%)
Nearly 7 of every 100 adults with high income (6.7%)
@cohodk said:
Yes...this forum likes to make broad brush strokes.
So 37% of folk waste their money on smokes and burden the other 63% with increased health care costs.
We are weak.
Well, actually it would be 37 people out of 300.... which would be around 12.4% of the population when all those age groups are combined. But yes, smoking does cause increased insurance and medical costs for everyone. As well as having other certain medical conditions, living in a flood prone area, owning certain expensive cars, etc.
@cohodk said:

I think its more likely because people who were willing to pay extra for food delivery are no longer because the increase in overall food costs.
I have to assume that during COVID grocers decided that moving forward store pickup and delivery could benefit their bottom line. Whether it’s cheaper to pay people to pick items off shelves than cashiers I don’t know. But I do know the stores near me are pushing pickup and delivery with special reward points, discounts and coupons for their service.
Coming out of the pandemic, when people were scared to go to the store it was easier for grocers to charge a fee. Now I think people are becoming more price conscious and in order to keep the pickup and delivery business model prices are coming down.
