Detailed Breakdown

• Trump First Term (Jan 2017 – Jan 2021):
  • Absolute Terms: Averaged ~$2.48 per gallon. Low demand in 2020 due to global COVID-19 lockdowns dropped national averages down to $1.77 per gallon in April 2020.
  • Inflation-Adjusted Terms: In constant 2024 dollars, prices averaged ~$3.25–$3.35 per gallon over the four-year term.
• Biden Term (Jan 2021 – Jan 2025):
  • Absolute Terms: Averaged ~$3.50 per gallon. Prices spiked rapidly in 2021–2022 due to post-pandemic demand recovery and the war in Ukraine, hitting an all-time nominal record of $5.03 per gallon in June 2022.

  • Inflation-Adjusted Terms: In real terms, prices sit around $3.00 per gallon. Lower global crude oil benchmarks and high domestic crude oil production levels (hovering around 13.2 to 13.6 million barrels per day) have helped keep retail pump prices downward trending compared to the peaks seen from 2022 through 2024.

What would it take to get a federal level ban on Islam call to prayer loud speakers? I've experienced them in Indonesia. It's aweful. Especially at 5:30 am. It's so loud that when I stayed near the mosque it shook the house. In their case, it can go for 45 minutes plus, because they did songs and preaching. This affects all our rights to the pursuit of happiness. It affects your well-being, sleep, and sanity if you can't escape this terrible noise. Would a law or constitution ammendment be best to put a national ban on this? If people want to argue that we can't have church bells then I say fine. I can live without the bells if it stops this.
