随着油轮通过霍尔木兹海峡，美国原油价格跌破70美元

So will gas be back under $3 now or is there some new excuse preventing that?

They sure had no problem raising prices.

After Russia invaded Ukraine and post pandemic (global lagging oil production). So not really the fault of the US administration...this on the other hand, is 100% the fault of the current administration! It's wild!

Also if you count inflation, the record was actually 2008 with Bush. The more you know 🌈

Hope-ium…. It’s easier to make a mess than it is to clean it up. Especially when you clean it up an orange orangutan keeps making a bigger mess.

You guys are still crying about Trump and he is in his last two years of a lameduck session.

My brother, we are talking about what the current President is currently doing and has done over the last few months. You introduced yourself into this conversation very specifically to cry about what someone who has been out of office for nearly two years now did. And then started trying to pivot to things that happened 5 to 6 years ago.

Maybe people repeatedly point out your bad faith attempts and goal post moving because you're repeatedly doing it. Be real! It's not kosher to hold the current President responsible for their current actions but you're going to whine at me about the actions of everyone who I'm not? C'mon. That's ridiculous and you know it.

You'll never be able to understand others while you continue to be so dang willfully blind to your own self.

Your response is a perfect example of moving the goal post and inventing a new problem to take umbrage with. The fuck does any of that have to do with the issue we were actually talking about? It makes it seem like you recognize the point I'm making and are fully unwilling to acknowledge it.

Even entertaining your pivot to a new issue you think you might have stronger footing on than the one we're discussing that you're giving up on: what? It's obviously true that much of the Republican base rejected it and the outcome of Operation Warp Speed. Despite Trump's initial push there, him later cozying up to skeptics when his own base distanced themselves from him on the issue is an example of his weak leadership rather than strong. Democrats didn't make his supporters boo him when he took credit for and told them to get vaccinated. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-booed-alabama-rally-after-telling-supporters-get-vaccinated-n1277404

And back during the pandemic (and continuing to this day) political party was the largest determining factor to whether or not you got vaccinated. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/for-covid-19-vaccinations-party-affiliation-matters-more-than-race-and-ethnicity/

Contrast these converging figures with disparities based on politics: 90% of Democrats had been vaccinated, compared with 68% of Independents and just 58% of Republicans.

What wrong with that picture?

Biden didn't cause COVID. Trump didn't either, of course, but he did walk us into that pandemic with the lies that it would, "It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear". The current oil crises were an even more American inflicted emergency.

The oil reserves exists for the times when they're needed. That doesn't mean it's not important to strive to avoid needing them.

Like... do you not save money? Invest? Do you do that so you will have money so you can retire one day and handle emergencies like your water heater breaking? Do you think that then would make it sensible to beat your water heater with a hammer cause you're bored?

One party allows a pedophile to rule over them.
