You're funny. Full ride scholarships everywhere I played. One of only 5 guys to throw a no - hitter for Tennessee in 112 years. I guess that's average. And voted the best hitter in the nation. Average at best. You're just an average women beating pizza delivery boy. Keep trying little kid.

Yeah, real hard for a guy to do well on a woman's softball team.

Jesus Christ. Just because I have an opinion doesn't mean I don't know this and don't know that and I certainly don't need it explained based on your assumption.

You're the one who kept asking how gas prices are up if Biden has increased permitting. You're the one asking how are gas prices are up if production is up under Biden. You practically asked for a 101 on global oil supply.

If you understand how global oil markets work, then why are you:

1) Suggesting the US stop importing "expensive oil?" That makes no sense given how the global oil market works.
2) Suggesting that OPEC doesn't have anything to with gas prices?
3) Suggest the US supply their own oil? You appeared to suggest the oil industry is owned by the gov't in this country when it's more the opposite.
4) Unable to comprehend that Biden doesn't control global supply and US prices are subject to the global market place?
5) Suggesting that Biden can/should/could lower US gas prices given gas prices are up globally?

If you already knew all this, then you knew why Biden can't control oil prices, so why did you ask in the first place? If you didn't want an answer, then don't ask the question. If you know already know the answers, don't ask the question.

So again we're at that curious place where the facts don't support the narrative. I guess Biden is in bed with OPEC and his trip over there and OPEC's public statements about cutting production to keep oil prices where they are were just a dog pony show to fool the global public and it's all being orchestrated by Biden (who afterall is to blame for gas prices).

You are reaching man, just stop. Look at you, anything to keep fucking blabbing and fucking arguing. Every time you post and argue it is a childish fucking outburst. You can't just stfu. It's one fucking argument followed by another since you fucking joined this forum you exhausting fucking troll of a little man. Go ahead, call me triggered. I got a trigger for you. Robot.

If anything reads like a triggered childish outburst, it's your post above. And, just about every other post you put up here when you've been proved wrong but won't admit it.
Almost without fail, your response to being proved wrong is an ad hominem attack.
Consistent at failing.

Tell us more about how supply and demand do not control prices.

Tell us more about how supply and demand do not control prices.

But Biden does...

Ya bunch of literal liberals. You people try to play off how much you know and how smart you are. You haven't the slightest clue what my post was asking, none of ya. It's like you can't read or that the words look different to you somehow. None of you would answer my simple question. Probably because you would short circuit.

Ohhhh, was your post more of your humorous metaphor? It sure seemed like you were asking us to ignore facts regarding how gas prices come to be, and just accept your feelings that Biden sets them,

If you were just trying to be funny it was a swing and a miss, doubly so sine you seem to be hanging on to the idea that Biden is the one calling the shots on petroleum prices worldwide.

Thanks for proving my point.

Thanks for proving my point.

You don't have a point to prove.
And I certainly didn't prove that your feelings about petroleum prices being set by Biden are correct.

You asked: If we (America) are drilling more and producing more oil then why have gas prices been higher since the beginning of Biden's presidency? You want to say more is being done than when Trump was president but his gas prices were lower... why?

That's the question I answered. Do you see why one might conclude that somebody asking that particular question lacks an understanding of the global nature of oil supply??? What question did you mean to ask? What is this question that will cause "us" to short circuit?

Like all of you Biden voting Democrats, you think you have to give some overly complicated and confusing answer that I am sure you all don't even understand. You can't just answer a simple question with a simple answer.

His answer was quite simple for anyone who understands even the most basic things about business and the economy. High-school level stuff.

If you want us to treat you like a child, we can: All prices go up over time. So do wages.
Prices fell a bit under Trump because a very bad thing happened in our world. Bad things can do that.
Gas prices are not set by a president. The price of a Big Mac is also not set by a president.
If 1,000 people want to buy a good amp and only 100 are available, the seller can raise the price.

I did provide you simple answer - OPEC, Russia, etc, which you tried to dismiss as some sort of distraction tactic, therefore I elaborated more on the workings of the global oil markets. You've implied that you understand how the global oil markets work, therefore I'm baffled that you have a hard time understanding how the US could increase production yet prices could still increase.

Now you're implying that I gave some overly complicated and confusing answer that nobody could possibly understand. That was not an overly complicated and confusing answer. That was a 3 paragraph readers digest version of how the global oil markets work and barely scratches the surface.

BTW, neither a democrat nor a Biden voter. Minus the "stolen election" crap, I liked Trump. I liked how he managed the war in Afghanistan, I liked that got us out of there. I liked his border policies. I supported warp speed.

You are so stupid.

You can't grasp concepts that I have understood since High School, but I'M stupid?
Am I stupid b/c I have tried to explain them to you but you still can't comprehend?
That would simply make me a bad teacher, not "stupid".

Let's get on the same page: Who in your mind sets gas prices?
