Gas prices drop! Damn that Biden! Oh, wait...

50 cents a gallon drop in the last month. Still higher than last year, of course, but there's hope on the horizon.

 

Remember how conservitards here and elsewhere were blaming gas price increases on Biden's horrible awful soooocialist war on fossil fuels yada yada belch grunt snort? Well, since he (obviously!!) caused those price increases with his actions (and nothing else had anything to do with it), he should certainly be given credit for lowering prices now!

 

And it turns out that Boiler's proposed solution of blowing up black neighborhoods and replacing them with pipelines wasn't necessary.

 

Thank you, Joe Biden, for waving your magic gas price wand and helping out us poor consumers! I expect paeans of praise from our resident conservitards, because, y'know, they're not hypocrites or anything.

Sensible people all know that gasoline prices would be less if Trump was in office.  Supply and demand is a real thing, even if Libs lie about it.

Yeah, if Trump was still in office, demand would be waaay down, because the pandemic would still be raging.

No, supply would be up.  It's a very simple concept.

Did everyone notice that Boilerman just left "demand" out of the equation?

 

Honest people don't do that sort of thing.

One you don't understand, apparently. Why would supply be up if demand was low? Why would they pump and refine product they can't sell?

 

For someone who claims to know so much about energy markets, you show some astonishing ignorance.

Do you honestly believe Trump would have been able to get Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi to open up as much drilling land as Biden did?   You're smoking some good stuff

 

And as far as the oil companies dragging their feet on increasing supply in their existing leases?   You think somehow Trump would have changed that?   You're smoking evenbetter stuff than I thought.

Trump would have done whatever would put the most money in Trump's pocket. Somehow, I doubt that would have included any measures to lower gas prices. 

 

Also, why would he give a shit? He'd expend any effort on blaming Democrats for those high prices. He's never had to worry about affording anything, let alone a tank of gas, in his entire foul, misbegotten life. A pathological narcissist and psychopath can't be expected to have any empathy.
