Not like it used to be it’s a grind sometimes to scratch out a limit, but a couple days ago I found a piece of structure holding fluke and some nice hump heads. Got my sea bass limit and one nice fluke.

Falling Oil Prices Defy Predictions. But What About the Next Chapter?
Oil is under $90 a barrel, and consumers are benefiting

Should we say Biden did that seeing we have been told he made it go up

Ps avg price in conn. 4.00 bucks not going to see Covid prices again and not far from 2013 prices of 3.53. Which didn’t get much attention

"Should we say Biden did that"

Sure. We can say "thanks to Biden, things arent quite as bad as they were a month ago".

Wayne, you think Americans are celebrating $4/gallon gas? He has a long way to go. If gas gets to $3, I'll be the first to say it's a huge win for him. $4/gallon isn't a win for him. He didn't inherit $5/ gallon, he oversaw that. He didn't cause all of it obviously, but it's his problem

If your a BJ's member, until the 5th, they are running a great deal saving 0.50 cents per gallon after you spend $100 in the store before taxes. I stocked up on stuff I know we will use and saved $10 after filling up the Silverado.

I am not claiming a win ..Just pointing out what I've said all along Markets control the price of Oil and Gas not POTUS

So my point was directed at those who still think the POTUS control gas prices :faga:

3.27 here. 3.17. New Bern

cheaper than in 2013 :cheers: PS how the albie fishing down your way? starting to show around here

In 2014, the gas price was at its peak with a rate of $3.62 per gallon. Although it decreased in 2013, it still was over $3. The prices fell to $2.43 per gallon in 2015 and $2.14 in 2016. Compared to the previous years, in 2019, gas stations charged $2.6 USD per gallon. However, in 2020, the price was 2.17, which means the price went down by a total of 17%.

Update: The Gasoline price in 2022 was recorded $1.3 per liter on 27th June 2022, which sums up to $5 per gallon. Although it is higher than the previous year, which was $3.3 per gallon, it is still cheaper than the global gas prices, which even hit $4.6 per gallon. However, the prices vary greatly across the states in the U.S. For Instance, in California the prices are 50% higher than other states, which equals $6.3 per gallon. At the same time, the Midwest and South are 5% to 10% less than the overall price.

Just pointing out what I've said all along Markets control the price of Oil and Gas not POTUS

So my point was directed at those who still think the POTUS control gas prices :faga:

Well, if he didn’t have anything to do do with rising gas prices, why is he taking credit for them going down? :huh:

“Gas prices have been dropping for 34 days straight, about 50 cents a gallon. That saves the average driver about $25 a month.

I know those extra dollars and cents mean something. It's breathing room. And we're not done working to get prices even lower.“ - Joe Biden

Half of US States Hit Record-Low Unemployment Rates in 2022:

I thought the sky was falling?

STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- JULY 2022


Unemployment rates were lower in July in 14 states and the District of Columbia, higher in
3 states, and stable in 33 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. All
50 states and the District had jobless rate decreases from a year earlier. The national
unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent over the month and was 1.9 percentage points
lower than in July 2021.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 20 states, decreased in 2 states, and was
essentially unchanged in 28 states and the District of Columbia in July 2022. Over the
year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 43 states and the District and was
essentially unchanged in 7 states.

This news release presents statistics from two monthly programs. The civilian labor force
and unemployment data are modeled based largely on a survey of households. These data
pertain to individuals by where they reside. The employment data are from an establishment
survey that measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. These data
pertain to jobs on payrolls defined by where the establishments are located. For more
information about the concepts and statistical methodologies used by these two programs,
see the Technical Note.

Unemployment

Minnesota had the lowest jobless rate in July, 1.8 percent. The next lowest rates were in
Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Utah, 2.0 percent each. The rates in the following seven
states set new series lows (all state series begin in 1976): Alaska (4.5 percent),
California (3.9 percent), Georgia (2.8 percent), Louisiana (3.6 percent), Mississippi
(3.6 percent), Missouri (2.5 percent), and Washington (3.7 percent). The District of
Columbia had the highest unemployment rate, 5.2 percent, followed by Alaska and New Mexico,
4.5 percent each. In total, 17 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of
3.5 percent, 10 states and the District had higher rates, and 23 states had rates that
were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In July, 14 states and the District of Columbia had over-the-month unemployment rate
decreases, the largest of which was in New Mexico (-0.4 percentage point). Three states
had unemployment rate increases: Indiana (+0.2 percentage point) and Montana and Nebraska
(+0.1 point each). Thirty-three states had jobless rates that were not notably different
from those of a month earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large
numerically as the significant changes. (See table B.)

The largest unemployment rate decreases from July 2021 occurred in California (-3.5
percentage points) and Rhode Island (-3.3 points). The smallest over-the-year jobless
rate decline occurred in Nebraska (-0.5 percentage point). (See table C.)

wdmso, unemployment came way down when we opened back up. Biden deserves some credit for this, no doubt. The stock market is also up, and he deserves credit for that.

Do you know what usually happens when the fed hammer interest rates? The sky isn’t falling. But there are perfectly valid reasons to believe a recession is coming. Not the great depression or 2018, but a recession. By the old definition were already in a recession, so we of course need to change the definition. But there are ominous signs.

Yes, I'm aware it's recent. WHat did I say, to make you think I thought it was old? Do you have to argue with me, even when I'm agreeing with you? Here's what I said:

unemployment came way down when we opened back up. Biden deserves some credit for this, no doubt.

"They just keep yelling recession over and over !!!"

We had two consecutive quarters of GDP decreases. If Trump was POTUS, tell me how that would be shared in the media?

"Republicans want a recession like they want inflation because they think it benefits them on Election Day "

True. You going to tell me Democrats didn't exploit the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, and covid for 2020?

^^^who said this?

markets react to policy, which is something POTUS can control...POTUS can also release oil from our strategic reserves which will affect the market .....or beg Saudi's and Venezuelans to increase production, which will affect the market...could probably think of some other things.....

Trump demanded that Saudi Arabia cut back production back in 2020. According to Trump, he worked out a deal where OPEC producers would all agree to reduce their output. The reason we now have high oil prices is that they have not returned their production to pre-pandemic levels. Hey, by the media’s standards of what makes a politician responsible for an event in the world, this is practically airtight.

It’s more than a bit bizarre that Donald Trump literally boasted about getting oil producers to cut production, but somehow President Biden is held responsible for high gas prices.

President Biden’s job approval rating has risen 11% in the last month, according to (Jim’s favorite pollster) Rasmussen poll.

What do you attribute this to?

Could it be that he’s had some successes and Trump being in possession of stolen classified documents and trying to cover with nonsensical lies may finally have been the last straw for sane people.

Also the radical extremist GQP calling for dismantling of the FBI, DOJ and IRS and the shooting of federal agents.

The biggest lie the Right ever pulled off was convincing so many everyday Americans that the people wanting to give them affordable healthcare, education & a living wage were somehow the bad guys out to destroy America.

Don’t worry troll, I paid 3.99 a gallon last night, and keep in mind.

We have two parties.

One is anti-democracy, anti-truth, and anti-rule of law.

The other is sometimes inept and foolish, with some fringe illiberal elements--but basically committed to the institutions and norms of liberal democracy and a free society.

It's not a tough choice.

here you go, he got criticism when gas prices soared, he gets some praise when they come back down. but the prices are still higher than when he took office, right? that’s what he’ll be judged on. On what happened during his time in office.

He released gas from the reserves, increasing supply, which probably helped drive prices down.

Fair enough?

He doesn’t want to be president again, he HAS to be president again. In his mind, being re elected is the only way he can continue with his grifting, money laundering and/or selling of national classified information and not go to jail.

Yes jim both are true and factors

But not really my point.. the GOP. Attacked Biden on gas prices ( basically lied ). Then again on the release of oil from the strategic oil reserves

They never cared about what Americans were paying at the pumps.. because they wanted those higher prices they thought they would get votes yet

GOP pans oil reserve sale despite a long and bipartisan history
Presidents from both parties have ordered sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to soften spikes in gas prices

Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden's move to release 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to drive fuel prices down. There's just one catch: Former President Donald Trump proposed a similar idea during his administration, which many Republican lawmakers supported at the time.


Republicans have pinned the pain at the pump on Biden without explaining why, save for griping about a “Green New Deal” that never passed a Democratic Congress. The GOP has no real plans for reducing prices, and its one semblance of vague grunt of an idea, more drilling, would not do anything to lower prices at the pump.

The GOP can’t tell the Truth to their voters. If they do they will be labeled Rinos instantly

a crowded GOP field is exactly what Trump wants. It guarantees a win for him in the primaries. I don’t know if Desantis would beat him in a one-on-one primary, but regardless, if 8 republicans are splitting the non-Trump vote, then Trump wins the nomination.

Or do you just conveniently forget that oil prices tanked, your hero “negotiated” a market manipulation to increase crude prices and we then paid for that and repaired it during Biden’s administration.

So Biden successfully lowered gas prices by using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and even turned a profit for taxpayers by later refilling it at the lower prices— and now Republicans are trying to restrict his ability to use the reserve to lower prices.

because party over country thats why.

More oil leases in return for releasing oil from the strategic reserve typical GOP thinking suggesting oil lease equals more drilling. Kissing the fossil fuel industry’s ass

Yet their base can’t do an internet search
Combined, the oil and gas industry holds leases to more than 25 million acres of publicly-owned minerals, roughly half of which sit unused. Companies now hold more than 9,000 approved, but unused, drilling permits on national public lands, all of which could be put to use today.
