The Biden Effect: Just so you don't forget

[reason10]

 

I refer to this as a tax on the poor.

[DogOnPorch]

I see Quid Pro Joe is threatening Saudi Arabia over them not boosting oil production until the midterm passes.

Average US gas price is currently $3.90 a gallon. It’s gone down a dollar.

Thanks to various skullduggery, indeed. In Canada, no such luck. About $2 Can a litre which adds-up to some scary number in US gallons.

Because of Biden's releasing the oil reserves.

I understand he's still doing it. How will things look when that ends? Or...what will happen when the twit expends all the US strategic reserves?

So what has Biden done which makes oil-rich Canada’s gas prices so high?

[Boges]

Don't pay any attention to the Global price of oil and OPEC's refusal to increase supply.

The Democrats were counting on the Saudis doing as ordered. Rejection is always a surprise for those twits.

Perhaps they'll demand that the Saudi military allow transgendered folks next...that'd be fun.

And it was under 2.50 when Trump left office, so what's your point?

And here's some more on this:

Biden administration urged Saudi Arabia to wait until after the midterms to cut oil production

And apparently the Saudis refused. They'll cut oil production. Biden can't even work a scam properly.

Except that exactly the opposite of what Biden has said.

“Allegedly”… according to very anti-Biden Rupert Murdoch. Yeah. Duh. In other news, the sun will rise in the East tomorrow.  
 

When Trump left office, our economy was shut down due to the pandemic and oil consumption was ultra low.  So of course prices will rise when demand triples. Basic economics.  Demand has outstripped supply because wells that were shut down take time to resume, and now OPEC has taken Russia’s side against America, which we should all remember the next time someone threatens to invade them.  
 

Better yet, let’s triple-down on alternative energy, become the world leader in alternative energy products, and export them worldwide.  Then Saudi Arabia can eat all the sand they want.

When did Murdoch buy the Daily Mail?

Is that something that only happened in Reboundsville?

Pleased to hear the sun rises every morning there too, though. Does it still rise in the east there or is there some special Prog elite command to the sun to rise in the west in your little special "progressive" place of the mind.

Are you saying shut downs in January of 2021 were worse than in January of 2022? Show me what you're talking about. I don't believe you.

You can see here that global petroleum consumption was far lower in Q1 2020 than Q1 2021.

Why are gas prices high? Republicans, of course.  Obviously. 
Ask yourself this: Where is all that gas money going? Oil companies. Their profits are higher than ever.  And which is the party that always, always, always fights alternative energy development? Why, GOSH, it’s the same party that the oil companies support.  Because the Republicans don’t care if you pay more for gas, if your kids get asthma, or if your children starve in the future if we can’t make enough food. 
 

Oil companies have LOTS of scientists.  That’s how they drill. Science. They don’t pray to Jesus for oil. It’s science. And those same scientists have looked at all the global warming science. They know it’s real, but they want to keep selling oil. What they should do is invest in clean energy tech, because that’s the future, but they don’t care about the future, they care about the now.  
 

Can America move half or more of our electricity generation to wind and solar? Absolutely. One party’s for that, and one party fights it. One party embraces a man who says windmills cause cancer. So there’s sanity versus insanity.  
 

Joe Biden is pursuing the right strategy. In fact, we should triple down on his spending. Double electrical generation over all and increase renewable electrical generation fivefold. Build more electric cars and move more industrial energy consumption to electricity. The result will be a BOOMING US economy; because everything runs on energy and the more we produce, the more we can manufacture. We can improve our standard of living and our quality of life, we can be an exporter of advanced energy technology and cut the unstable Mideast and Russia out of the equation. That isn’t liberal, it’s plain common sense. And it is absolutely doable.

So you're objecting to the Daily Mail citing the Wall Street Journal as a news source is that it?

You don't want them citing these guys:

Quote

In an October 2018 Simmons Research survey of 38 news organizations, The Wall Street Journal was ranked the most trusted news organization by Americans. Joshua Benton of the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University wrote that the paper's "combination of respected news pages and conservative editorial pages seem to be a magic formula for generating trust across the ideological spectrum."^[47]

Very well, did you have what you view as a more credible source saying something that contradicts the most trusted news organization by Americans saying the Saudis did not reject Biden's admonitions? Of course you don't so I imagine you are interpreting the opinion claiming the pleas from Biden were politically motivated were something coming directly from Rubert Murdoch. Any evidence of that?  Again, of course not. So really, you don't have much of a point, do you?

Now you’re twisting. 
Murdoch claimed that Biden tried to get Saudi Arabia to postpone their price increase until after midterms. But now you’re twisting that. 
 

What would be the quid pro quo if Saudi boosts production? It wouldn’t be free. 
 

Biden should impose an IMMEDIATE halt to ALL US arms exports to Saudi Arabia. ASAP. We should announce plans to close our military bases there, and pull 1/4 of our personnel out asap.

I quoted that whole rambling diversion to show how desperate you seem to be to avoid the actual question. In case you forgot as you were busy frothing at the mouth going off in multiple directions it was 'can you show me how the lockdowns were anymore severe in January of 2021 than they were in January of 2022.'

Because if you can't then your contention Trump's 2.50 gas at the end of his term being lower than Biden's 3.90 gas currently doesn't matter is like your last post. A lot of puffed up diversionary nonsense.

No he didn't. He was more likely sipping chardonnay on a yacht in the Riviera while the grunt journalist at the Wall Street Journal (America's most trusted new organization) expressed the belief Biden's plea to the Saudi's not to cut back on oil production before the midterms was political.

But if you don't like that interpretation, by all means show me some media source you prefer saying something you find more credible. I'm not afraid to consider it. I don't understand why you're trembling so at what the Wall Street Journal has to say that you're slipping into personal slurs again.

Shut Up. You’re just a liar. And a terrible one at that. 
The Republican and the Democrat legislatures of all fifty states legally certified their 2020 election results and the US Congress legally accepted those results.  
So as long as you spout off lies and fantasy, nothing you say is relevant.

Nonsense. What you’re trying to say is that something global and complex can be fully explained by two data points. That’s utterly ridiculous.  
 

Petroleum prices are set globally, whether we’re a net importer or a net exporter. From Tierra del Fuego to the fjords of  Norway, gas costs more right now.

No wonder Biden looks so old if he has to run around to every gas station in the USA every morning and set the prices himself.

You should let the oil companies to that, they're all Honest Abe goodly souls. They'd never rip you off.

But it was ok when Trump did it. When a Democrat does it, ooooh, it’s baaad! But when a Republican does the exact same thing… no problem! It’s ok, cause it’s our team! Right?
