Becomes Trump a dictator?

[PennEd]

Texas if people see it as if it's a separate country. Our gas prices were 1.89 a gallon in the pandemic and were less than 3.00 a gallon for the lasts 10 years. Last month I paid 2.64 a gallon and yesterday I paid 2.45 a gallon. https://www.gasbuddy.com/station/35002

Pretty sure there was no Pandemic in Texas in 2019.

If you are referring to Covid, that didn't begin until mid March 2020.

A drop in demand is only one possible cause, an increase in supply would be another.

Yes agree, that is the other part.
And production was already increasing in 2023.

 

[HeIsHere]

Trumps ego got in his way trying to defend the only thing he takes credit for about a devastating disease cure, the vaccine. But people downplay it just like he said.

He would loose his support if he took too much credit for the vaccine.

 

[Squigglylines]

Wow! That is great. So the line about him shooting someone on fifth avenue is what he did, not with a gun, but with a hypodermic needle! That is a great point! He told us what he was going to do before he even did it! That is scary.

When he spoke about the vaccine at his rallies and the crowd booed him he said no one was going to force them to take it so it's everyone's choice to take it or not. Trumps still alive and going strong after taking it and is the current POTUS so it's hard to downplay that.

OK We'll call it Covid-20 instead of Covid-19.

You can call it whatever you like.

The fact remains Covid-19 had ZERO impact on the economy in 2019.

Your comment that the "Pandemic" caused unemployment and low gas prices in 2019 is definitively factually wrong.

Do you honestly forget when the greatest Global event of our lifetimes started? A mere 5 yrs later?

I think the 19 in covid 19 refers to that particular strain of covid.

Well I'm pretty sure the "`19" does refer to 2019.

But only because they MUCH LATER claimed that the virus originated in China, in November or December of 2019, even though 99.9% of the population never heard of it until late February 2020, and subsequently impacted EVEREYONE'S life in mid March 2020.

Sure, no way they could have given him saline solution. The vaccine was not a kill shot, that would have been way too easy to discern. But there is overwhelming statistical evidence that with every shot you get your immune system is weakened. That is why the better analogy is to a shot that gives you immune deficiency and this is also why they had to give you so many booster shots.

The WHO has just said in the last thirty days that they think there are only 300+ million people in China! It used to be 1.2 billion, what happened?

Okay then January 18-20th 2020 is when we had the first cases in the US. Thanks for correcting me about the gas prices being low in 2020 instead of 2019 like I said. https://www.cdc.gov/museum/timeline/covid19.html

Please stop with the revisionist history.

Here is the average price for gas in Texas in 2019.

BEFORE THE VIRUS:

$1.97 per gallon
In 2019, the average gas price in Texas was $1.97 per gallon1. The U.S. average was $2.28 per gallon1. The average U.S. regular retail gasoline price was $2.60 per gallon2.


Gas prices never went under $3.00 a gallon, and during MUSH of his time was $4.00 and over, except for the first few months of the Biden Presidency.

Biden and his admin repeatedly said they were going to destroy the fossil fuel industry.

President Trump deserves massive credit for lowering gas prices which will ultimately result in lowerv everything else prices.

No really the link I gave a few post back is not revised nor is it an average price from Texas it is the actual current price per gallon in Lumberton Texas. I don't have any idea what you pay in the state where you live or what you paid for gas in 2020 but I paid 1.89 during the pandemic and 2.39-2.49(moves up and down) a week ago. Murphy's phone number is 1-409-234-8692 if anyone would like to give them a call and ask. https://www.gasbuddy.com/station/35002

Not sure about the Chinese CoronaVac vaccines and their drop in population after it but in 2020 the US had 331,449,281 million people and now in 2025 we have 340.1 million instead of less and less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_census

You do realize in that same time we had 20 million illegals cross our border. The illegals are hiding the fact that our population is declining. Also many people in the US chose not to get the vaccine or the boosters or to only get a few. That was not an option in China.

Hmm, I don't know what to say about the 20 million illegals stuff anymore they've been looking hard for them all but just searching the Texas news they only arrested a few hundred in Texas to maybe several thousand in the US since the election. I'm half Hispanic but my family has lived in Texas since at least 1560 from the oldest records we have so everyone else is a migrant to us. Don't get me wrong if there is some criminal migrant's here I think we should arrest them my own self but you would think 20 million criminal migrants would stick out like a sore thumb hiding out in the woods somewhere. At some point I think it will just either be a good campaign tactic that's no longer needed or a clever way to hide that your looking at potential migrant spy's because the pentagon knows there's probably a war coming and we need to be set up to look for them without them knowing we are. Don't know what to say past that other than I was born in Texas and I've met some migrants but most all the other Hispanics I know or have known in my life were all born in the US and US citizens.

They did stick out like a sore thumb in NYC, and in Martha's Vineyard, and in Chicago, and in many other places.

I don't live in any of those states what do you mean by "stick out"? Do you mean Middle easterners, Russians,Chinese who sticks out in those states to you? Why I'm asking is in Texas most near everybody is Hispanic or like in my case half Hispanic at least so Germans,Vietnamese,Arabians ect. are who stick out to us.

I mean the hotels were overflowing and the cost to take care of them was exhorbitant. Martha's Vineyard loaded bus loads and shipped them off to military bases. Likewise in Chicago they couldn't afford to take care of all the immigrants and were complaining about Texas busing them to Chicago.
