Not anymore. Summer is over. No lines or waits anywhere in my hood.
School started back so I suspect fuel prices will be on the rise with all of the extra traffic on the roadways.
Yep, Just looked at ticker WTI almost back to $95 a barrel.
Wait...so the increase would not at all be caused by anything Biden did? Wow...who knew?!?
And psst...the price at the pump in America isn't tied directly to the current price per barrel.
Listen brain dead we have already went over this with you a thousand times. Punitive Policies set forth by Executive Orders have caused this lack of production and did away with energy independence on our part. Thus higher prices its not rocket science
Complete fiction. Less emotion, more fact.
And yes, I've already admitted that Biden's policies will of course result in increases to energy costs. But the issue with you and others is that you continually insist that ALL or nearly ALL of the doubling of gas prices were tied directly to his policies or that one EO that removed the XL permit when the XL was not functioning, was years away from product, and was not under construction due to SCOTUS leaving a lower court ruling in place that stopped construction just a couple weeks after years of delay BEFORE BIDEN WAS EVEN IN OFFICE!
I've said it countless times, whenever you can produce any credible analysis showing how much Biden's policies increased the price at the pump, I'll gladly look at it. And I'm still waiting as you continue to rant and rave while providing nothing of substance but your hurt feelings and rage that Biden must be to blame.
And I didn't even cover the role trump played, asking SA to increase production, which flooded the marked, which put US oil companies out of business, and when Covid hit and demand plummeted, we lost 4 oil refineries in the US.
Then add in the Russia invasion which was followed the next weeks by a near $.75 increase at the pump in the US....
But yeah...it was all that meaningless EO.
