Today is yer big day!
Thank you joe Biden
That's $ 8.94 / gallon. It's all because of Putin, not Biden.
And drilling for oil was increased massively under Obama:
It's just the media you watch, talking about the debt, inflation and high gas prices,
when a Democratic president is in office and praising everything when a Republican president is in office, creating debt with massive tax breaks for the rich and causing inflation and high gas prices.
And google is not always correct, nor the first entry. Like DG said, graphs mean shit, like most of the idiots walking around on this earth. Ever heard the word propaganda?
Just saying
Easy to blame usless wars for this
Atm the rest of the world look like fools which mean China are watching to see if taking Taiwan is possible. The nuke fixed Hiroshima conflict. Mmm well I don't know
Sleepy needs to do something quickly.
Note what is said at the end,it amounts to our own oil is processed cleaner here in the US than over seas.Why not use our own and stop suffering.?
Are you really suggesting to keep burning oil, until it's totally gone?
Do you understand how much the price would be going up?
Supply and demand!
It's also getting harder to get it out of the ground. At some point, the energy to get it out, refine and transport the oil, costs the same energy as is IN the oil.
Most sustainable alternatives are already much cheaper.
Do you really want to pay more, just to end civilization?
Besides that, I care about it mostly because of myself.
Did you read what I wrote? It won't take 47 years.
One S.O.B. holding his oil as hostage is enough.
You won't be driving V8's anymore. Get used to the idea.
I hope to still live for several decades. In that time the world could go to an absolute horror. Or not. It will all depend on the choices we all make together, every day.
And it's not looking like anyone is making the right choices.
People cannot even agree on the problems, let alone the solutions.
The media creates that division, so no one holds the government to account.
The solution is getting off from fossil fuels. The oil producing countries and oil companies will keep fucking everyone over, because they can, because everyone relies on them. And they have been allowed to have a cartel; OPEC.
Why are you asking the government to do something about the oil prices?
Isn't it a free market? Do you want to end the capitalist system for oil and make it (more) socialist now? You blame Biden. What do you want him to do?
What time in history gives you the idea that would be better?
In that time of those farmers, everyone was horribly poor and completely vulnerable to disease or some fuckers next door coming to take your harvest, your daughters and your life.
Everything humanity has achieved comes from working together, against the selfish assholes in power. In the middle-ages there was one king and everyone was serving that king, giving away their food and freedom, just for the bit of safety that the king provided. Later in the industrial age there were the leaders of industry and everyone else was working day and night under horrific circumstances to just get some food and shelter. It would have still been like that if people didn't rebel and organize. So whatever time without government you want to go back to, they were all worse than now. It's just not working, because people like you are giving their power away to the rich. They are dividing the people against each other. That's you saying 'throw all the bum’s out in the street'.
Giving the rich all the power can come back to bite you. When some private equity firm wants your business and they force you into bankruptcy, make you sell it for peanuts and make you work for peanuts. That's how 'every man for himself the strong would survive' works in modern times.
One king, Jeff Bezos, and all people are serving that king, because he provides the jobs for the masses, where everyone else is working day and night under horrific circumstances, to just get some food and shelter.
True, not much has changed since the middle ages.
Maybe I forgot you live in the US. It's different in developed countries.
You're giving me an open goal man.
You know,sometimes it is just best to put down the shovel and stop digging.
This whole episode reminds me of the time while at age 10 visiting my grandparents,my cousin and me were going to plant a garden in grandpals back yard. We started digging a hole.as hard as a 10 and 6 year old could. My uncle came up and said,"Boys,be carfull,you are about to hit a bunch of SHIT, that is where the outhouse used to be". We stopped digging as we were afraid that shit would come spewing out of the ground and get all over us.
Same with New york and it's people trying to dig up shit on Trump. They better stop digging before THEY are the 1's that look stupider than they already do.

They were good. Not perfect

Here’s a great example.

And now the Dems are for refund the police! Fucking pathetic. Guess the whole crime is out of control in the big dem controlled cities is bad for mid-terms!
Weak foreign policy? He did what Trump promised, but failed at. That's strong!
Cackling VP? True! But Trump had a religious wingnut; also not good.
Biden +1 on Trump on your arguments. Try again.
How about bail reform, defund the police, liberal DA's, nothing is a crime anymore. That was not Trump at all. You try again.
Weak foreign policy- Even his own party is saying that!
Let's throw in failed energy polices just to balance things out.
I am frustrated with your politics, but also fascinated. At times it definitely adds to my high blood pressure, so I can't promise it doesn't kill me. Then again, unloading on you might work therapeutically.
I don't know much about the bail reform, but I'm sure you don't either. The goal of bail is being able to let people go until trial, but give them an incentive to show up at the trial. Poor people however are clogging up the system, because they can't afford bail. That means bail reform is a good idea. Now is he letting people go on bail too easy?
Defund the police was a stupid slogan, because it didn't represent what they wanted. They wanted money to go from the police to other civil servants, because the police sucks at certain jobs. It's used as a strawman and it Biden doesn't support it, so it's not an argument for him being 'weak' on crime.
Liberal DA's. And off course they are weak on crime. I get it.
'nothing is a crime anymore' Really? Did Biden do that? Wow! FREEDOM!
'Weak foreign policy' Because tweeting 'little rocket man' helps international relations. And then falling in love with a dictator is also great. Trump said he would handle Putin much better. He can't say how, that's a shame. It could be everything from nuking Russia to sucking Putin's dick. Biden is a bit more predictable and calm, but why weak? What should he do? Tweet at him, nuke him or suck his dick?
I agree on Biden being weak the energy policies, but for reasons you won't like. The whole Ukraine thing just showed us oil and gas are very dependent on international politics. We all need our own sustainable energy sources. The US has oil and gas, but they are running out and are increasingly causing pollution (and off course climate change). The world should stop fighting over the last scraps of fossil fuels and invest in the future. Biden is still better than Trump on that, even if he hasn't achieved anything (yet).
If you don't want that, you should actually praise Biden, because he outpaces Trump in issuing drilling permits on public lands. I think that's horrible, so I would give you that as Biden being weak. Overall just as bad as Trump.
I met a fellow back about 1999 that I wish I had got to know much better as he was SMART ,he was 93 I think at the time I met him. He was a democrat, diehard. He was a retired Westinghouse engineer .He designed equipment that was used to calibrate test equipment. and even at 93,he was STILL designing circuits and building radios from scratch.
BUT if you got him on the subject of politics, OH my GOD, Calvin Cooledge was the most do nothing president of all time according to him.
Why I mentioned that hell if i know,I guess cause I am sitting back thinking of all my lost friends this evening.
So you could be right that he was 'the most do nothing president of all time'.
If things keep going like they are now, I'm sure people will also not remember Biden
a hundred years from now.
If it escalates to nuclear war, there wouldn't be anyone to remember.
If Putin takes Ukraine and leaves it at that, everyone will have accepted.
You just pointed to the same thing, three times. Who has dementia?
The whole world has the same problem. Why is Biden responsible?
At least you TRIED to argue, the rest just started with insults.
Like talking to a tree stump trying to get a democrat to understand anything.
But, he could make a law that prohibits the oil companies and food manufacturers
to make profits and maximize their production, for the next year or two.
That would solve the high prices. But, every Republican would vote against it.
Actually, they didn't even show up for an important vote on inflation legislation.
Republicans like to hurt the people and blame the Democrats for the pain.
If you don't like that, what is the solution then?
