You give Biden way too much credit if you actually think he’s to blame for global oil prices. I don’t know what more needs to be said.
You have no clue how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

Montana is beautiful in the summer, nice pics. It's def not for me in the winter for sure though! Hopefully the flooding at Yellowstone/Glacier NPs didn't mess up your plans, it's so sad to see the damage the extreme rains caused those places are some of the most beautiful locations on earth. I spent the weekend in the White Mountains, highs we're also in the 60s and with the clouds/drizzly weather I was actually pretty cold. But it's beautiful up there as well, I love the fact that we have the variety we get nearby Phoenix.

That’s exactly what your alt-right theorist that you keep quoting is attempting to do. Backpedal all you want but this started off with you posting a theory that Biden intentionally drove up prices to push us to EVs. Now if you’re upset because you feel that more needs to be done to mitigate, sure post your suggestions, but the blame game resulting from some conspiracy theory is just plain foolish.

I'm not backpaddling. Hanson wrote, Our current oil shortage did not arise from a foreign war or tsunami, but from a deliberate policy to curtail oil production to force a more rapid transition to battery-powered transportation.


And today the Biden Admin. is dealing with the fallout.

Below Hanson touches on Obama/frackin/Trump energy policies and how the US was doing just fine.

Of course you are.

You: Biden is conspiring to push us to EVs by driving up prices.
You: I doubt anyone is blaming Biden for global oil prices.

No. I'm not saying Biden is to blame for the global oil prices. What I am saying is Biden's policies have contributed to the US being ill equipped to handle the crisis.

You may want to reread the opinion piece that you posted because that’s not what it says.

Scary how many small-minded, myopic people there are out there! It seems the “Brandon” crowd is out in full force flexing their brainpower. I stay away from that dumpster fire.
