Because oil prices are priced on the world market, not the US. There’s a little thing called the UKraine War taking supply off of thee market. Duh. If you had been paying attention to this thread, I’ve explained it many times.
Try a butter knife next time.
Thanks for the reply, and BTW, a butter knife works wonderfully - thanks for the tip.
The Ukraine War has NOTHING to do with the record high prices of gasoline here in the good ‘ol USofA.
The pump prices starting shooting up way before Russia invaded Ukraine. Duh. If you had been paying attention to news outlets other than Bidens’ mouthpieces and read some of these threads you’d understand that.
There has been more than one thread that has contained graphs that showed prices heading up 10+ months before Putin invaded.
You also seem to be forgetting that US oil production is also part of the “world market” of oil supply. When Brandon effectively killed US oil production (January 20, 2021) is when our prices started to rise.
And since Brandon did cut US oil production, that caused a shortage of oil within the “world market” thus leading to higher prices at the pump due to less crude being available. Others have explained this to you many MANY times.
We all know what it’s going to take to cut prices at the pump, even you, but your cognitively impaired grandpa won’t do it. He’s too deep in bed with the fake climate change idiots as well as the far left, radical, socialist, Marxist morons in his own disfunctional party.
You present yourself to this board as a rich, worldly, diverse, know-it-all businessman but really all we see is a troll trying way too hard to be provocative, it’s like your desperately trying to overcome inadequacies that you seem to be suffering from, sort of like having a Napoleonic complex.
