Really, are you paying attention??

Ok, President Biden is a tool of the oil industry. That is what your implying?? Do you believe it??

Is that why he cancelled the Keystone Pipeline, because the oil industry wanted him to do it. It that why called for a ban on new oil drilling on Federal lands.

I know it is a physics term, but NOT a economic term, but are you aware of the concept of inertia. Works in economics as well as physics.

Cut me a break. Biden and the Democrats want to END the fossil fuel industry.

Fine...they won the election. Now they want to have the American people believe it is NOT THEIR FAULT for inflation??

REALLY....do you think ANYBODY believes you or them??

Drilling rigs in US:
Trump takes office: 643
Trump leaves office: 374

Today under Biden: 508

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/Le...s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

Peak production Trump: 12,966
Trump leaves office: 11,056

Last data entry under Biden: 11,141

Are you paying attention?

They’re called “facts” and you can find them with a quick google search. It’s really easy… can type pretty much anything in and get a wealth of information. Want to know something else awesome about it?! It’s totally free to use!

Searching the internet will be mind blowing for you dude. I can tell it’s a new concept cause you’re still bringing up keystone which was a Canadian project to benefit Canadian companies and if anything would hurt US extractors (there’s only so much refinery capacity which is often the bottleneck).

If you knew how to search before you’d also know that drilling on public land is like <5% of US extraction and doesn’t mean anything for the price of oil.

Stick with facts. Less of the dramatics.

Yes, LordSquidworth has done an outstanding job of explaining the current state of the oil industry. You should thank him for the lesson.

Four states are now paying people to not get vaccinated.
Florida, Iowa, Kansas and Tennessee are letting anti-vax Covid spreaders collect unemployment benefits when they get fired. Reduce spending? Let`s reduce ignorance.

Funny, the White House thinks there is.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...tion-policies/

Have you not seen the firings/resignations from hospitals, fire departments, police departments, school systems, government contractors, etc?


Not true obviously as I showed the facts of what happens when the GOP controls the House.
The pipeline would create 2,000 or so temporary jobs and a couple dozen permanent jobs. Actually the Canadian company that wants to send the sludge to us estimates 35 permanent jobs and 15 temporary contractors.

No they don't. They're too chicken and in line with their corporate donors/big pharma to give the people what they want. Besides, how will natl healthcare(something 45 pushed for early in his campaign) and free community college make things worse when numerous countries have those 2 things?

The modern financial system can only function in an inflationary environment. If the government and central banks genuinely tried to fight inflation (ie, cause deflation), it would almost immediately create a financial crisis many times more severe and more painful than the '08 crash, and absolutely no one has the stomach for that.

Everyone; the governments, the central banks, the general public, will continue taking the path of least resistance, until the USD is confetti....
This. Greed drives both parties. Free college, welfare, pumped up stock market all come from the same pool of QE unlimited money and this is the new normal... 10% inflation while adding 10% of our GDP to the national debt every year.

Inflation let's you spend beyond your means and pay for it with devalued money later.

Don't elect people like Trump who inflated the money supply, who didn't care about spending and debt.
