AAA Gas Prices

 

[Estro Felino]

I think we are dealing with a very elitist person.

The elites here don't mind if the gas is 2 euros per liter.
Unprecedented.

 

[Lyndon]

A lot of idiots think the President sets the gas prices, not the oil companies!!

OMG! This is clearly more than enough reason to drop Biden and support instead a vile, malignant sociopathic narcissist and the sick, ignorant coterie longing to normalize his sociopathy, ...

... or not.​

A lot of idiots think the government can't influence prices either.

Really? Has the nomination been formalized yet?

I have no idea why you would believe the question to be relevant.

That’s right. Look at how the Russian government has affected oil prices globally. At least the USA is having less trouble than Europe with the cost of energy.

 

[Lyndon]

Biden is trying to ban the export of American oil so we have plenty of domestic supply, the oil companies and the Republicans (same thing) are fighting this tooth and nail

I wonder when the last time Biden actually had to pump his own gas.

Not even the oil companies. The price is set by the oil market, which includes innumerable traders and sovereign states, as well as actual oil companies. Oil companies own about 10% of the world's oil production: Share of oil reserves, oil production and oil upstream investment by company type, 2018 – Charts – Data & Statistics - IEA

It is only willful political dementia, common among Trump sycophants and too many of their supporters, that enables them to conveniently forget the Trump - Mohammed bin Salman dance.

More or less having to actually work for the money that pays for his gas.

As revelant as those who already have pegged Trump as the chosen nominee already.

Because . . .

""Banning or limiting the export of refined products would likely decrease inventory levels, reduce domestic refining capacity, put upward pressure on consumer fuel prices, and alienate U.S. allies during a time of war. "

U.S. oil groups urge Biden to take fuel export ban off table, letter shows

Europe is already facing a rough winter with natural gas and oil supplies from Russia being suspended:

How bad could Europe’s energy crisis get this winter?

For the US to leave Europe hanging at a time like this strikes me as unforgivably selfish and short-sighted.

It's a move that only makes sense politically, and even then only in the short run.

Rubbish the real reason is because they can get a higher price for their oil on the international market than if they were forced to sell it domestically

Which doesn't mean that the arguments they're putting forward aren't valid.

It just means they have ulterior motives, and my answer to that is:
"Well duh".

 

[Revoltingest]

You trust government to control prices?

 

[Twilight Hue]

I trust government for making prices go out of control and for its desired self serving direction more than anything else.

Like herding and steering cattle.

That's a problem too.
