its not. as I warned you all in 2021, the futures market, which is what drives oil, is 12-18 months in the ....wait for it....FUTURE. when everything was cancelled on jan 2021, we are wow, EXACTLY 12-18 months later, and while the WORLD markets are in turmoil, ours do not have to be. in dec 2020 we were a net exporter.


so yesterday when asked and Biden replied that even if he was to lift the fuels production ban today, it would be 12-18 months to see an effect....


and there you have it, you cant make this stuff up.


the negative ripple effect, has not even started to stop.

The current Democrat party is going to attack any and every Republican just the same. It has gone too extreme since the Bush/Gore incident in 2000.

I happily voted for him in 2020.

I looked at it like the choice between Trump and the step daughter of Satan.

While I was skeptical of Trump even winning, or if he was even capable or inclined to do the things he promised to do, he exceeded my expectations in spite of the endless opposition he faced daily.

Even if he had accomplished none of the things he did, his presidency prevented perhaps the most evil woman on earth from becoming president, and also exposed just how deep the deep state is, and how horrific our fake news organizations really are.

The left can threaten to burn down our cities all they want because honestly with office workers capable of working from home and manufacturing either mostly offshored or in non-urban locales, there is little else remaining in the cities that is of any value.

Based on this poster's history, I find it hard to believe that he voted for Biden. If that is true, then he is a liar. These people dont care about the country, all they care about is their team.

For some reason, people get excited by this idea that people who voted against them later regretted it. That is largely a myth, the % of people who would say they should have voted for the other guy is tiny. But for some reason people get off on thinking about this mythical group of unicorns.

Profits for fossil fuels have been significant in the last two years.

OPEC setting global prices to make up for losses in 2020 is the biggest problem for us right now.

Biden can be accused of not addressing the immigration problem, wanting to spend too much money....but the whole myth of killing the fossil fuel industry is very misleading.
bull.

BIden in fact killed exploration. we dont have near the production we should because we arent looking. And JOE BIDEN killed exploration.

on the day he took office, we were energy independant. today we are utterly at the whim of foreign production. the myth is that it isnt bidens fault.

You are seeing obama's third term with this administration. It's the same puppetmasters from 2008 & 2012.
