cost of gas

Since it says "Cost of Gas" and not "Rising Cost of Gas" Mary's bastard son is in the right place.

By the by... Biden is solely responsible for all the gas price issues in the United States. SOLELY.

The president has a ton of power over the gas prices with the decisions made, from everything that I've seen.

Supply/demand, refineries shutting down, trucking shortage and OPEC. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand.

Now peal the onion. It's more than just that. The President can affect many things indirectly by his actions.

I never peal an onion. I always peel an onion. The President can't tell OPEC what to do, he can't totally control supply/demand, he can't help that the refineries shut down, and he can't stop the trucking shortage. He might be able to make a minute difference but nothing that will drastically change gas prices. Let me guess, you think Biden wants the public to pay over $4 or $5 a gallon for gas for some reason? I'll hang up now and wait for the conspiracy theories to follow.

At the beginning of this thread, they blamed OPEC for gas price changes. 'Would be interesting to know the first time someone blamed (or credited) the POTUS for gas prices.

The bad spelling is for you Bobby.

Yes, he wants higher gas prices. The higher they are, the more people will want cheaper types of energy. At least that's what this admin is hoping for. Green New Deal remember. Yes, he can mandate COVID shots for truckers. Truckers will say screw you and there will be less trucking. He can demand refiners make their employees get COVID shots or get less contracts... employees will quit. Indirect actions that DO AFFECT THE COST OF GAS.

The 13 nations in OPEC. They all do Biden's bidding.

Monday, 0700: "Iran? It's Joe. Raise the price of crude today. I want my citizens to pay more for gas."
0705: "Saudi Arabia? It's Joe. Iran is trying to screw us on the price of crude. Lower your price and we'll buy from you"

Yep. That's how he controls gas prices.

So you think the Middle East is the only source of crude?

Barely, if at all.
