If a president plunges us into a recession or ignores a pandemic such that it destroys thousands of jobs and forces millions to work from home, it will lead to fewer people going to work and traveling and that will lead to the price of gas going down. Likewise, if a president passes laws that help job creation, paired with a response to the pandemic that leads to people returning to work and returning to the office, the price of gas will go back up :) .
The problem is many people seem to think you can raise or lower gas prices by signing an executive order or something.
So you're saying it's more like "I sure could go for massive death via pandemic and $2 gas right about now" rather than "I sure could go for a mean tweet and $2 gas right about now?"
Actually, due to the nature of my job I didn't miss a second of work due to covid and I didn't even get covid AND I got stimulus checks all the same from it. If the only thing that matters is me and my money, that was a real golden age.
