Have you ever heard the expression ''you are comparing apples and oranges''?  Thats what you are doing,  You are talking about daily or weekly prices.  The LOWEST ANNUAL PER GALLON COST FOR GAS WAS $2.14 for the year 2016. No other year in the 21st century had a annual price that low when adjusted for inflation.  Now I gladly admit you are very good with those graphs so put that talent to work show us your graphs and charts for the years 1945 - 2021 showing:

Number of new jobs 

Unemployment rate

Change in the stock averages

Increase in per capita income

Retail sales

Annual change in the GDP

I'm a digital Neanderthal and do not posses the skills to do it but obviously you do.  You wanted us to consider other economic factors so show us some of those other factors.  Now the question is...do you have the guts to do it and put it on the forum for all of us to see?
