And oil companies are profiting more than ever. Destroying America and making inflation crazy



Would you prefer they lose money and have to be propped up by the government like the solar companies?

Last year’s spikes were priming the population to accept this. Basically because it went so high so quickly, people barely notice it going up steadily now since it is still lower than the peak.

Green energy extremists with no understanding of the consequences of this type of idiotic approach had this planned from the beginning.

Oil companies will profit massively and get blamed as if it is entirely their fault.

Their plan is working to perfection.

Yeah man, those oil companies are killing American with those cancelled lease sales, slow rolling of permits, and ESG investment into anything but oil.


I work in the industry. The cost of materials increase is staggering. Even if we can get the valves and transmitters to keep these old units running. Some equipment that was 3-4 days is now 16 weeks.

We were just informed to buy all the nickel we can get our hands on.

Can't trust shipping containers from overseas so air freight has been ok'd but have quadrupled the price.

Math is hard.

Quick lesson: if your company operates at a 5% profit margin, when it costs more to create your product, the same 5% gives you more actual dollars in profit.

If prices go DOWN, Biden did that.

If prices go UP, it's COVID and/or Trump.

Tried and true talking point.
