Your funny

But thats not all.
You can bet your last nickel ( apparently not you Actor) that every single middleman is taking a bigger share as well. And why not.
All you guys are blaming Biden.

Why did we have cheaper gas when Trump was in office?

Who was President when Russia decided the reward was worth the risk as far as going into Ukraine?
Hint; Who said a " minor incursion" would be OK?

Who cancelled the Keystone pipeline on Day One of his Residency?

What percentage have US gas prices increased?
The rest of the world?

I seem to recall Obama mocking Romney for thinking Russia was a threat
"" Obama said. "And, the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back, because the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

Why has Elena Baturina, one of Russia's wealthiest women, escaped the sanctions levied on Russians after the attack on Ukraine.
Is it because SHE paid Hunter Biden’s company $3.5 million, and now is she receiving preferential treatment from the Biden administration because she has not been targeted by Treasury Department sanctions?

So is joe completely blameless?

You can't blame sniffy. He is selling our strategic reserve that we all paid for to the Chinese to make gas prices here come down. I brilliant strategy, only a demorat could think up. All to make life better for ya'll

Just got back from KY/OH and got gas for $3.03 in KY. NY is still $4.50/gallon.

Dunno but he ain't the principal villan.

just, your thinking defies logic, Biden promised to end fossil fuels and he's doing everything in his power to keep his promise. Good grief man.

A good rate of return on your money is considered anything over 7.1%. Oil companies have just gotten back up to an average of 4.7%, when you look at 1 quarter's loss of around 45% and the next quarters gain of nearly 50%.

I could not live on a 4.7 profit on my money. I would have to have much more money to do it.

Oil companies, like other companies, are people and people need money to live.

Normally I would say that it doesn't take a genius to realize that political interference has an effect on prices at the pump...

But the fact that you have doubled down on stupid over the last 2½ pages... I'm starting to think it may require some level of intellect that exceeds yours.

When there is an increase in the price of raw materials, the price of the finished product will reflect that. When an elected official does everything in his power to increase the scarcity of crude, gas prices must rise.

It isn't rocket science... Or maybe it is for some people.

Keep defending your boy though.

Best thing for this country is for gas prices to remain high through the elections. I am more concerned to see them dropping as much as they have in recent weeks. If prices get back to $3ish my fear is that the midterms will be a lot tougher than the landslide they should be.

People vote out of fear and greed and right now there's a lot of both right now. But if their pocketbooks are feeling better they will vote on secondary issues that might not be as black and white to voters and might not go the way I would like.

I feel bad for everyone experiencing pain at the pump or grocery store but maybe the perspective I just provided will help you.

Age old tactic, happens all the time! Make the people suffer, then give a little hope, and they'll just forget (or celebrate(talking about the masses, of course))!

Hahahahahahahaha, I nominate this for the post of the week. In bold, priceless!!
