Went by a couple gas stations today, almost broke the $5 barrier. $4.98 for cheap stuff.

E-bike is still sort of "free" (I don't notice any electrical bill increases from plugging in my bike). As I understand it the local city buses are currently free - they are replacing the bus fare meter thingies in all the buses so it's free until the new ones are installed.

Oil companies are reporting record profits for the first quarter (2022).

I would bet a serious discussion of nationalizing oil production would slow down and/or reverse price increases.

That statement would make a lot of environmentalists happier than an otter eating a clam while swimming on his back. And without doing it in an oil slick.

Of course they are have you seen the prices? Additionally, production costs are the same as several years ago. Oil companies just reap the rewards (or suffer the fate) of a speculative market.

You know they don't set the actual pricing for crude, etc... right?

While I am sure his policies have trickled over into some other countries.............I DGAF about those other countries,the US had reasonably priced fuel,was energy independent and exporting a small amount when Braindead Joe took office.When you're energy independent the global ups and downs in the fuel sector tend to effect you little.I do not blame Joe for the price of fuel worldwide.......... I blame that stupid basturd for what he has **** ed up here.


Take a good look at the price of fuel in those energy independent countries on the list..........quite the contrast huh

back in the George W. Bush day, when gas prices were jumping from $1.50/gal to $4/gal, we on the left heaped blame on the POTUS, until our brethren on the right argued that the POTUS has no impact on gas prices. So, when gas prices went up when Trump was POTUS we didn't blame Trump...we griped about the greedy oil companies...

Here are some arguments about POTUS and gas prices that I first heard when GWB was POTUS and was blamed for rising gas prices:
