Gas prices started to rise when it looked like Trump was going to win, and again when he challenged the elections and it looked like he might overturn them?

Yes, I see how Biden caused this.

Did he also cause the prices to rise in China and Europe as well?

I provided a link to a graph. That graph shows the data. The data is not in dispute. I don't know how much the US effects the global oil prices, but I do know that decisions made by US administration have a direct effect on gas prices in the US. It's pretty easy to see, and if you take away the political side, and just look at facts, they are saying the same thing. Trump was removing red tape and making production easier, Biden is doing the opposite. Which scenario seems better for profit from Oil Companies? (You can ask around if you like)

Amazon is full of nothing but china's trash, a lot of complain with the fake items, sold as originals, I love to read the comments and reviews, that's where you see what people are getting.

I have only used Amazon once, years ago.

You have to do a bit of research these days to find what isn't junk, reviews can be helpful, but sometimes taken with a grain of salt. I just don't like anything that has grown to mega sized, too much influence, and,displacing lots of mom/pop, I guess that ship has sailed though, not coming back. No mom/pop can beat their buying power, and has stuff at your day next day.

I buy pretty much all of my used books from Amazon. It's a treasure trove of out of print items that would cost significantly more if you had to go to a specialist book dealer.

I think that about 90 percent of my UFO and paranormal books came form Amazon. Niche books that are long out of print and which most bricks and mortar stores don't have.

I can appreciate that, I generally hunt ebay for hard to find music, as an example

I worked at a logistics company for a decade that was voted in "best places to work" every year. That was due to the execs and big wigs making your life miserable if you didn't fill the survey out that way. I trust those surveys about as much as i trust the Government.
