I think the oil companies were just being extra nice during Trump's term and sacrificing profit for the good of mankind. That's the mission statement I read from one of them I think one time on some website with a bazillion popups and that I had to get my computer checked out by the local computer guy sure was a little pricey but he is a nice guy he fixed my 1998 Gateway all up nicely. Sweet little guy and only charged me 700 dollars. I for sure thought it was gonna be at least 5 grand. shite I paid 2 grand for it back in 98

Was it not their greed that got monthly oil production to drop 25% from march to may of 2020?


You mean when no one was driving or flying so demand plummeted?

and your answer is to re-direct your frustrations into complaining about people complaining?

Sounds perfectly normal.

Energy Policy? That's a direct effect of the administration who makes those policies. Not sure if you're aware of this but that would be Biden's administration.

Well then, if it’s all Biden, then you would agree that oil and gas prices should not be rising anywhere else, right? Biden can only affect domestic policy.

So are gas and oil prices rising in countries where Biden was not elected? Be honest.

Or are you one of those weirdos who think that Democrats have magical powers and control everything, everywhere?

Consistently and directly attacking an industry whose price is based on speculating futures.....but somehow holds zero blame.

I can understand how you would think this being that you're a fricking idiot.

This is what happens when you try to ignore how fricking awful someone's foreign policy is.


What's your opinion on Mexico's President cancelling Biden's Summit because Biden refused to invite Cuba and Venezuela? Is it because of Biden's STRONG foreign policy?

It is now.

Shitty financial policy, including COVID shutdowns are why we are where we are. That includes Trump, who was as liberal as anyone with the Govt account.

But you will continue to support shitty financial policy.

No, but you are.

They are purposefully destroying the economy. This is exactly why you vote for them. When you shut down the country for a year, go all in on green energy and throw a shite load of new money in the economic system, what did you think would happen?

Bull. shite.

He’s not the only reason but he’s absolutely a reason. He campaigned on bankrupting the industry. And now you’re shocked companies are lessening the burden?

You’re an idiot when it comes to this.

Why can’t we live in a world where people realize it’s all of them?

The oil companies, the politicians, the fear monger media, the idiot citizens. All of it. Gas isn’t high just because of Biden, or just because of greedy oil execs.

You can’t respond to the truth. Biden does not control the world oil market. If inflation in oil prices exists on the world market, it is not because of Biden.

The same for other inflationary pressures. Inflation is higher in Europe than in the United States. How do you blame European inflation on Biden?

It’s all so easy if you don’t think. Just blame everything on Biden. Right wingers are so intellectually limited, it’s a wonder you don’t choke on your own drool.

Answer this honestly.....have you ever heard these three words strung together before....."Presidential Foreign Policy"

Now answer this question honestly....Is the United States considered to be the most powerful nation in the world?


Try....and I mean try REALLY hard....to put those two things together.



And then answer this next question honestly.....How would you rate the job Biden is doing on the scale of 1-10?(this one is purely for my entertainment.)

Greedy oil executives love them some Democrats. They make bank on those stock options when Dems in power. You may think they are republican that that is wrong. They are in the dollars and cents party

Sure.

It has nothing to do with domestic energy policies and the world placing sanctions on Russia. Double digit inflation as well…………

Please do not blame the government.

Same, but I have kids who are young and will be the ones paying for this.

Our local hospital can't stay staffed. They kicked me out with Leukemia and pneumonia.
