Apparently he's launching his own media platform in response
And 100% intends to run again in 2024. We aren't out of the woods yet.

Well if he puts in as much work trying to get reelected as he did as president there is nothing to worry about.
This guy should be in prison already, the fact that he is gaining any platform again and is already voicing his intentions to run for president should concern every American, and honestly should concern the rest of the world. He has built a cult of personality around himself that was large enough to pressure the republican leadership in congress to repeatedly give him a free pass when he would push the boundaries of the executive branch. His actions as president and the lack of response from the US government is setting up a blueprint for the next generation of authoritarians to attempt another run on American Democracy.
Let's not forget that the attack on the Capitol was the first major attack since the British burned a large portion of D.C. in the war of 1812. This fucker was impeached for clearly inciting this riot that hasn't happened at such scale since we were at war with a foreign nation.
I personally hope the southern district of New York ends up throwing this authoritarian wannabe in federal prison. The US government failed to make an example of him in January, but he needs to end up in prison and not in the oval office again.

Stoneth said: Yup the US is so much better off now. Since Jan. Gas prices are up over a dollar a gallon, Lumber prices are up over 200% last year's. All items in stores will soon rise cause cost of transporting has risen. And if min wage goes to 15 an hour without some kind of profit gains tax to protect against inflation we'll soon be a poor broke third world nation. Just saying.
Current lumber and fuel prices in the US are primarily driven by the previous year of global pandemic. Both sawmills and crude oil exporters limited their production due to an expected housing construction and fossil fuel demand slump from the pandemic, respectively.
The lumber market went the way of the semiconductor sector, with actual demand exceeding expected demand, and the interia of the supply chain makes spin-up incredibly slow, limiting supply, hence the increased cost.
The crude oil demand has increased faster than expected as the world begins to vaccinate and recover from the slump of the pandemic, OPEC has been slow to respond, and this time of year is typically when most US oil refineries shutdown for maintenance and to spin up for the summer blends of gasoline and agricultural fuels. All of this has resulted in a high demand-to-supply ratio, hence the higher gas prices.

I feel like it might be a reach to blame either administration for the gas and lumber prices when there's a clear link to decisions being made within the industry (and worldwide) that resulted in the supply/demand gaps we are experiencing right now.
Those industries shot themselves in the foot trying to avoid overhead costs and a glut of supply. We should blame Trump for what trump can be blamed for, and hold Biden accountable for being a little bitch about federal legalization of cannabis, but lumber and gas prices are an unrelated issue to either.
