These factors are largely out of Mr. Biden’s control, experts agreed, though they said he had not exactly sent positive signals to the oil and gas industry and its investors by vowing to reduce emissions and fossil fuel reliance.
“There has been a pretty stark miscalculation of the amount of supply we would need to keep energy prices at affordable levels,” he said. “It was taken for granted. There was too much focus on the energy transition.”

But presidents, Mr. Rajendran said, “have very little impact on short-term supply.”
Facts are frustrating, sometimes.

    Here is some insider info from someone who works for one of the big three when it comes to healthcare/ insurance and sits in on meetings where the big fish speak, expect some more medications that don't have generics that they pay off even with prior authorization from your MD to not be covered or for them to cover barely 50%. They claim the current government is partly to blame and the company in its best interest had to restructure (they didn't really, they just gave everyone new titles and called it "restructuring") but they raked in a pretty good financial year. But of course blame it on the government or anyone or anything convenient while the CEO gets that nice fat bonus.

    Last weekend I was in VT and thought they were gouging at $4.39/gal because back in RI it was $3.80.

3 days later I come home and realize gas went up 40 cents from when I left 3 days prior.

Shits ridiculous.

I miss my Prius.

Who are you talking too? I don’t see any attack on the president?

Edit: Never mind, didn’t look at the pic.

    The title of the image, on imgur, is
Thanks, Biden and the A** holes that voted for him...
The point is made at the historically, and continually factually incorrect LGMB.

    Biden's asking for a $813-billion military budget for 2023 which will help fund our proxy war in Ukraine. Yes, gas prices suck. But also, look where our taxes are going.

    Finally, though.... we're bombing the shit out of white people. That's a change. Or is that what is making people mad, that we're not killing brown people right now?

    There is no gas shortage. Its justthe gas companies making excuses to get even richer. Twice in my life there have been gas shortages and both times there were regular pictures of long lines at gas stations where a tanker truck had just stopped. The oil companies couldn't even do us the courtesy of posting some fake pictures or something this time.

As far as bombing the shit out of white people, I'm not sure what that is about. WW1 was European countries (mostly white. WW@ was European countries and Japan. Again, mostly white. Usually when people are complaining about racism its about colored people. I can't think of any war the U.S. was involved in that was fighting primarily black countries. Maybe the comment was just sarcasm or something.

Oh, there's a "shortage", but it's artificially created to increase profits. Same kinda shit that happened back in the 1970s with OPEC. Google that if you weren't alive back then. I was, but I was a kid and knew nothing of how the world worked at the time. I've since learned a lot.

And yes, I can be a bit snarky, because I now know how the world works. The human race is an abomination. Greed rules over all.

Oh, the thing about bombing white people vs bombing brown people.... You're conflating generations past with what's going on today. WWI and WWII were fought by generations that didn't have the military industrial complex that we currently have. That shit started to go nuts around the time of Vietnam, or not long after. Hell, Reagan himself changed how we did things in order to bankrupt the Soviet Union. That happened as I was coming of age, and started figuring shit out.

All I can tell you is; follow the money trail.
