When Donald Trump took office, my son's young friend Jacob, very much a liberal, assembled and published to Facebook some stats he thought were good indicators of the state of the country or world.  Over the next few months - as the price of gas rose or the stock market fell - he updated his list and gloated.  Then things moved in directions favorable to the President and he never posted the list again.

But I had a copy, and I periodically reminded him of how things were going.  After doing so a few times, Jacob accused me of being too political and dropped me as his "friend."

I don't have that list anymore, but I suggest we form a new one with items we can periodically review - so that Joe and the Democrats get the credit they deserve, you know?   I'd appreciate your thoughts and will post shortly after January 21st whatever we come up with and the initial values.

I'll start with the items (or comparables if the exact items are unavailable) shown below, but with results collected on or after 1/21/2021.


1)  The closing value of the Dow on 1/6/2021:  30,829.
2)  The price of regular unleaded gas at De's local Irving gas station on 1/6/2021:  $2.05
3)  The advertised price to Non-Members of a Great Lakes AR-15, Semi-automatic, .223 Wylde, 16" Barrel, 30+1 Rounds at Sportsmansguide.com on 1/7/2021:  $779.99 
4)  The advertised price to Non-Members of a Remington 1100 Dual Ammo Air Rifle, .177 Caliber at Sportsmansguide.com on 1/7/2021:  $59.99 
5)  The Federal Minimum Wage on 1/7/2021:  $7.25/hour

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
