Did you know:

Outside of that COVID anomaly, WTI crude averaged about $58/barrel across Trump's first term (excluding 2020), and the national average for gas when he left office in January 2021 was $2.38/gallon.

Did you know:

Crude Oil:The highest WTI crude oil price during Biden's presidency was an intraday high of $132.07 per barrel on March 7–8, 2022, driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent U.S. ban on Russian oil imports. Brent crude went even higher, reaching $139.13 per barrel in March 2022 — the highest since the all-time record set in 2008.

National Average Gas Price:The highest national average gas price during Biden's presidency reached $5.01 per gallon for regular unleaded on June 14, 2022. Some data series place it slightly higher — weekly averages peaked as high as $5.07 per gallon depending on the tracking source used.

So there IS a war, or not?
Does he even know?

That deal was made from 2020 to 2022. The deal was made due to the amount of money the US oil companies were making dem run states started shutting down their states. The deal was made because other countries, who did not shut down their countries, were producing oil a lot cheaper than we were. The deal ended in April of 2022. So, what's the excuse for the prices continuing to be higher past that? Biden didn't help them get any lower.

You're not very good with facts and figures, huh? Oil went up a DOLLAR in May 2022, then started to drop.
Gas prices follow oil prices.
Ask a grownup to explain why.

The biggest question is, if Biden was so against it, why didn't he sign an executive order and end the deal after he took office?

Executive Orders don't force OPEC to cancel deals that are made.
Do you think POTUS is the emperor of the world?

An even bigger question is, why are you dems applauding your masters for shutting down the country during COVID. That move caused the biggest price increase of all time. I don't hear you crying about that. By the way, Trump warned you idiots about this as you all were cheering for the shutdowns. Of course Newsom, the biggest supporter of the shut downs, didn't care because he was going to keep partying as normal.

Please, give us your expert analysis of what would have happened if not only our country, but the world, had just kept "business as usual" as CODID-19 was running rampant, killing people by the hundreds of thousand (WITH the lockdown measures in place).

Provide a full mathematical prediction of what would have happened. Provide the stats you use to reach your conclusion.

Obviously you did your own research, so it should only take a few seconds to share.

How about my opinion?

Had there been NO LOCKDOWNS we would have gotten over COVID twice as fast. The lockdowns made it so it took longer for COVID to run its course. The longer it was around the more money big pharma could make. End of discussion.
