This is the exact same thing they do with climate change.

If they believe it will last I have a bridge to sell.

And the price of gas won’t come down with it. Record profits!!! Wow. No shit.

MAGA can only conceive of what they personally perceive. That's why they don't care about things that hurt other people until it hurts them personally.

Just a reminder that most major sales do this. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, etc. And people buy that shit up.

Fox news had a recent headline "Oil plummets to three month low." Wow, the lowest it's been in ... three whole months.
Awmph

Yeah, and a quarter-pounder is bigger than a third of a pound b/c 4 is bigger than 3, right?

He also promised that our energy bill would go down by half and if didn’t, we could get angry. Went all over the country saying the same thing. Amazes me how people can forget all the bullshit he has said and the crimes he has committed. Just the other day heard a trump supporter say she supports him because the price of gas is going down. Unfucking believable, oh wait, indeed, it’s believable.

But the best part is the the past few months have allowed petrol companies to normalize gouging so that they will never bring them down to pre-war levels again.

It doesn't matter what the cost of oil is. Gas prices aren't going down again.
Arbitrarynamehere
They will but it'll be a while before we see them under $3
mrthewhitee
They'll never be under 3 again. By the time oil is cheap enough to justify that, people will be used to expensive gas and oil companies will just keep the revenue.
If anyone asks they'll blame inflation or some other economic factor.

More and more people are switching to electric cars, esp in the last few months, with 1/4 of new cars sold worldwide in 2026 being electric. This is causing demand destruction. Unless the US starts another war in the Middle East again, supply is going to catch up sometime next year.
Outside the US, solar and wind are also seeing increasing usage because it's cheaper than oil. Even my state hit 50% renewables last year and is pushing for 60% this year.
mrthewhitee
While technically true, electric adoption has stagnated and that growth has slowed dramatically
But more importantly I think you missed the crux of my point. I never suggested demand or supply won't change in the future, I know both will.
I'm telling you the companies will pocket whatever difference gets created and claim other factors as reasons why gas must remain high. They will not stop back down to 2025 prices again.
dohcohv
It's only slowed somewhat in the US, worldwide other countries are adopting EVs at much higher rates than the US.
You're right about oil companies trying to maximize profits. However, OPEC+ has the power to do this better than anyone else, they have access to a very cheap supply of oil and have been working to keep prices just low enough that Oil sands and shale oil aren't very profitable, but as high as they can to maximize profit.

I’m mostly interested in how we can see into alternative timelines to see the prices…. Or is that speculation? Which I take issue with
Subsound
You already see into alternative timelines and mind read strangers...

That looks like how I do it… my question was about “we” very specific. I honestly fail at getting people to “there” nearly 100% of the time. It’s a 4 step process 1 I explain, 2 they agree, 3 it happens, 4 then they’re surprised.
Subsound
I guess you can't "learn" how people do predictive analysis if you ask the question, and then run away when someone answers.
I think you should update this sequence to: 1) ThinkThisOut spouts a bunch of crap 2) People say it's crap 3) ThinkThisOut runs away when shown they don't know basic topics 4) ThinkThisOut deludes themselves they won an argument on the internet, like a loser. (literally Danth's Law)

It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics the fundamentals can be taught in high school, but there's a number of techniques.
Honestly, pretending like you "just know" stuff just seems like you're another in a long...long....long line of bullshit artists....

Wow !! It's down like 600%

That's bigly huge!

It is a different way of calculating. It's the way you word the calculation. (not sarcasm, not true, but actual quotes)
CandyPlanetJumper
Its down 600%, we had all the best math scientist look at the numbers and say "that's not possible" and yet it is. It's the biggest percent ever of anything. Jimmy Carter had much less percents than me. /s
KarenFromTheHOA
Obama had even less percents!!!!11!1!!!1!1one
