Biden doesn’t set the price of gasoline. The US is a net oil exporter. Biden has pushed energy independence from the beginning but the GOP stands in his way. Coal is dead.
Biden administration has opened up more oilfields for drilling. Mr. Ramirez’s Great Orange God made an agreement with the Saudis and Putin to CUT oil production. How soon he forgets!
In February of 2021 the Saudis announced they were raising their prices to make up for the 40% loss in profit due to COVID-19 in 2020. Other industries have since followed that lead giving us the world-wide inflation we have today. It is not a U.S. only issue.
So, with no control over oil prices and no new policies in place, Biden is the reason for higher gas prices? Are we sure it’s not the illuminati or lizard people.
And stop whining about gas prices. They are significantly lower than what Europeans have been paying for decades.
And I have no sympathy for complainers who buy gas-guzzlers and leave their engines running while parked, or close the windows for A/C when it’s 70 degrees outside. American sense of self-awareness is often sorely lacking.
Apparently good energy policy is extracting every drop of oil regardless of the consequences. Do you think the collapse of civilization might have a negative impact on our economy?
The rabid right does not worry about coherence or facts in their rantings; they know their audience doesn’t either; hell, most of their audience could not Spell the word ‘facts’, as it has 5 letters, rather than the 4 that seems to be their max-capacity.
Current High Gas Prices have nothing to do with the government, or with inflation, or with supply chain issues.
It is 100% the Fossil Fuel Industry having a hissy-fit that their outlandish profits dipped a bit during the COVID-19 shutdowns, and now they’re gouging their customers to try to “reclaim” profits they were never due in the first place.
The price of Crude is still rock low; there is absolutely nothing legitimate or factual behind this increase in gas prices.
It’s nothing but corporate greed, and by blaming someone who has nothing to do with it, like Biden, you’ve proven you’re a slave to the Toxic Fossil Fuel Industry
So, how much was the price of your soul. Michael? It couldn’t have been much, because it’s clearly a flimsy, pathetic, useless thing to you.
One day one, Biden had a country that was energy independent for the first time, and in fact we had so much we were actually exporting oil too. He then cancelled the Keystone pipeline and signed Executive orders (which will all be overturned with the next republican President) that reduced our ability to produce at home. Prices shot up, the population complained, so Biden told the middle east countries to produce more to help lower the cost again. They gave Biden the middle finger. In addition, we are now buying oil from Russia. If they invade Ukraine, expect the price of oil to shoot up even higher. Now do you understand why Biden has been such a failure, and this doesn’t even count inflation at a 40 year high, embarrassing exit from Afghanistan, southern border doesn’t exist, crime up in all democrat controlled cities etc etc. The mid-term can’t get here fast enough.

Hey, Mr. Ramirez. It’s called capitalism. Aren’t you right-wingers supposed to be in favor of that stuff?

Yes, tell Biden to lower gas prices. This is just a Liberal plot to sell electric cars. Deep State stuff. A Democrat Conspiracy.

If energy independence is so important, why do they only pump old wells only part time?

Here in the Indianapolis IN area, our gas is around $3.25, no where near that $7+ figure.
