bayou obviously doesn't know anything about the gallup organization's bias
It easy to fool people when they know so little you don't have to fool them

You mean the Gallup Polls destroy your rather weak, incompetent narratives you plaster all over the boards. You're highly allergic to the truth that's for certain.
If you climb up 10 flights of stairs and then go down 1; you are still much higher than you started. If I charge you 3 times what I charged for an IQ test two months ago but only 2 times the original amount today; that is still inflated and the score of 80 will remain the same.
Gallup isn't even a true polling organization anymore...
They've kind exited that business for the most part
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallup_(company)
In 2012, Gallup incorrectly predicted that Mitt Romney would win the 2012 U.S. presidential election.[33] Following the results of the election, Gallup spent six months reviewing its methodology.[33] The company concluded that its methodology was flawed as it made too few phone calls in Eastern and Pacific time zones, overestimated the white vote, and relied on listed landline phones that skewed the sample to an older demographic.[33]
In July 2013, the United States Department of Justice and Gallup reached a $10.5 million settlement based upon allegations that the company violated the False Claims Act and the Procurement Integrity Act.[34][35][36] The complaint alleged that Gallup overstated its labor hours in proposals to the U.S. Mint and State Department for contracts and task orders to be awarded without competition.[34][35] The Department of Justice alleged that the agencies awarded contracts and task orders at falsely inflated prices.[34] The settlement also resolved allegations that Gallup engaged in improper employment negotiations with a then-Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official, Timothy Cannon, for work and funding.[35][36] Michael Lindley, a former Gallup employee, originally made the allegations against Gallup under the False Claims Act.[36] Lindley received nearly $2 million of the settlement.[36] Under the settlement, there was no prosecution and no determination of liability.[34]
Gallup decided not to conduct horse-race polling of the 2016 U.S. presidential election to help Gallup focus on its consulting business.[37][38] Gallup officials said polling could still be accurate during the election, but the company decided to reallocate resources.[39] Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport told The Washington Post said Gallup felt polling the public on issues was a better use of resources.[40]

Did someone claim that in 3 weeks gas prices that took 8 months to rise to the level they are now had been fully resolved?
You've been crying about gas prices for months now...they're falling right now
HURRAY!!!
(Its really pretty simple)
Trillions of capital value has been obliterated in the financial markets since last fall, in case you haven't noticed. Hence, the inspiration for my avatar.
The lyrics relate more to BSC but this post was TLDR.
You talk about people, you don't even know
And you talk about places, you never go
You talk about your girl, from head to toe
I said your mouth's moving fast, and your brain's moving slow
I hope that you socialist libs are not looking for an apology from us...because when it takes over 100 to fill my tank, when it used to be mid 40's under Donald J Trump...you have a better chance of hell freezing over. When Brandon helps int get under 50...I will be right here giving praise. However, since I KNOW whAT MAKES FUEL PRICES GO UP AND DOWN...i CAN SAY THAT WITHOUT SOMETHING LIKE A NATURAL disASTER....IT WILL never HAPPEN
It is happening more often. I'm actually surprised that this is the case. I figured gas stations would clamp down even harder on "pay before you pump" or paying at the pump with the price increases.
Surprisingly they haven't. Even more surprising, the gas stations by and large aren't making large efforts to prosecute the drive-offs.
Don't get any bright ideas on that last sentence. 😡...😉😂
Honestly I haven't seen a single station in years that doesn't require prepayment for fuel. Drive offs must be other states issues. ????
The policy is pay before you pump...but the clerks, who are often the owners/managers are turning on the pumps if they just want to fill up and pay in the store afterwards.
BTW the penalty in Florida, the last I heard, Alabama and in most states is that you pay fines, restitution and then you lose your license for 6 months to a year.
