re: This feels like a race to the ceiling re:gas prices.

Just because they work in OG doesn't mean they understand supply side econ.

What the frick are your qualifications? I’m sure working in the oil & gas industry with intimate knowledge of how the supply chain works as well as how investment decisions get approved doesn’t mean shite, compared to the amount of knowledge you’ve gleaned from simply thinking the opposite of whatever you see on CNN.

And the argument by the OG baws is identical to the leftist talking points. I can't help it if they side with the left in that argument. Not my problem.

---

You’re right. That’s not your problem. Your problem is that you completely dismiss every valid point that the knowledgeable folks make on the subject, because you’ve supposedly heard it in CNN at some point. You are completely ignorant about the subject, but you think you know everything because surely nothing can be true if a news outlet you don’t like has ever agreed with it.

I stand by the statement that the pres DOES have an impact on gas prices. Whether directly or simply through rhetoric.

---

Cool. Nobody disagrees with that. They’re just telling you it’s not a very big impact - because it’s not. I literally gave you a fricking essay in the other thread to try and educate you but you’re too fricking blinded by politics to see through your own bullshite. Newsflash: You don’t have to think Joe Biden is a good president to acknowledge the realities of the oil & gas market. It doesn’t even have to mean you support his policies on oil & gas. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.

It just blows my mind that you’re still doubling down on this idiocy. Oil & gas baws aren’t telling you this because they’re “leftists.” They’re telling you this because it’s the fricking reality of how things work.

I don't understand how me saying the president has an impact on gas prices is aggressively ignorant.

Let me point you back to what started all of this in the other thread:

quote:

---

You people will come up with any kind of bullshite to defend shitty domestic policy by a shitty administration you elected. It's perverted.

Says Joe Biden “just announced on CNN he will completely shut down drilling for oil and natural gas on day one of his administration.”

But nah, the president has little impact.

frick you a-hole.

Yes, aggressively ignorant is pretty accurate.

JP Morgan keeps saying 6 a gallon unless the Russia export ban goes into effect then it will go higher.

If we were energy independent like we used to be, we wouldn’t be in this mess. I guess it’s okay for “climate change” if someone else is doing the drilling.

For the liberal, they don't care about the supply side. They are happy with the price increases because their climate change strategy isn't centered on stopping US drilling as a focus. The focus is to crush you, the consumer, to their will. Cutting US supply is just a means to that end.

It’s going to be fun to look back at these “zomg gas is $4.xx” threads when we are at $6 in the summer

Sadly you’re probably right.

It’s remarkable how fast prices are going up. Some places around here (Birmingham area) have gone up roughly $0.50 to $0.60 (probably more in some places) in the last week/week and a half.

We're drilling more now than when trump left office. More wells are coming online every day too.

We are 1.5 MILLION barrels per day below peak production under Trump.

And we bought 7x as much oil from Russia last month as we did the las month that Trump was in office.
