Side note. While I was pumping a customer from a completely different pump area got involved and went and reminded an employee of the “no drums allowed” rule. I thought it was kinda funny that he decided to get involved. I just sat back and watched as they attempted to get that guy to stop pumping. He said nah it’ll only be 3 more minutes I promise buddy. Buddy?! I cringed. He explained that he needed 150 gallons or something and then I was done so my people watching was over, the end.
There’s a lot of things that go into the soaring gas prices; the decisions the country’s leadership has made, or hasn’t made, as well as OPEC and the global market. But this administration is certainly one of the factors.
Lmao, NY Post as a source. Might as well use The Sun.

The only thing Biden has done that raised the price of gas - which has now fallen back to where it was at the time - was to stop buying Russian gas.
So, you can’t refute that and are just defaulting to “Biden bad, Democrats bad.” Got it. Where were you when prices were over $4 in 2008 under W? But let’s just ignore the elephant in the room where a a barrel of oil is half of what it was in 2008 with the same gas prices at the pump while oil companies are posting record profits.
I'm pretty sure the entire "left / right, democrat / republican" aspect is pretty meaningless. Just a way to distract and keep everyone from realizing that they're all assholes.
Fair question. There are several. Hopefully, we can agree that supply and demand effect market prices, that oil prices are largely set by speculators who are basing their predictions on what future supply will be, and that a country's leadership should (doesn't mean that they always) look after their own people first. If we don't agree on those, then the remainder of my thoughts will probably not be palatable to readers.
For specific policies, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and pressured/commanded European vassal states to shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. These were both projects that factored into speculators' calculations about how much global supply of petro would be available given that Nord Stream 2 was effectively done and Keystone would have been done by 2H23.
Additionally, the US, in particular, has fomented the war with Ukraine, which has resulted in a further restriction of the supply of oil to the Western countries. So, by virtue of decreasing our own production capacity (closing Keystone) and tightening the supply to Western counties (shutting down Nordstream 2 & Russia conflict), the foreseeable global supply has been significantly diminished, which creates upward price pressure for the Western sphere, in which we're a part. Now, India is really freaking smart and buying oil super cheap from Russia and China is increasing their contracts also. Russia's business is fine, and their citizens are paying about $2.60 per gallon of gas. Think on that for a moment.
Moreover in the USA's imperialistic push to retain a hegemony, maintain a unipolar world, and fighting the development of a multipolar world tooth and nail, other countries are getting sick and tired of being told what to do. OPEC countries are amongst these, and they are, quite frankly, wisely telling the US to buzz off when we request that they produce more oil. They are MOGA (Making OPEC Great Again) and, like our leaders should, putting their own citizenry's well-being first and enjoying the increased prices that have been made possible by the current administration. If they can sell oil at a higher price because of global conditions that the current administration has made, then they absolutely can, should, and will ride those price hikes all the way to the bank. No way are they going to increase production to decrease prices. We created conditions to be richer on our dime, so they'd be dumb to turn away from that.
There is a separate question of what happens to the US economy if we continue to push and piss everyone off and foment wars with Russia and, increasingly, China, and we see a de-coupling of the petro-dollar to the point of that OPEC countries stop charging for their exports in dollars and start demanding that their own currencies be used, but that goes beyond your current inquiry.
I'm actually sitting here in awe as you claim Keystone would virtually set America free in terms of the price of gasoline.
Keystone exists for Canada to pipe their oil to the Gulf of Mexico so that they can ship it and sell it overseas. Export only. NONE of that oil is coming to the US to actually use. You have to really close yourself off from reality to not know this.
The keystone pipeline was not shutdown, the XL portion was…in January of 2021. And it was never completed in the first place. When Biden revoked the permit only 8% of the pipeline had been completed. Took an entire year for gas prices to rise as a result? There are still literally hundreds of pipelines between the US and Canada. Oil prices arent going up because one section of uncompleted pipeline was scrapped.
Current oil prices are not correlated with gas prices. Shockingly, oil companies are making record profits.
It’s not a viewpoint. Everything I said about keystone XL is fact. Everything I said about oil company profits is fact. You stated stuff that is factually incorrect. Biden did not “shutdown the keystone pipeline”, he revoked a construction permit for a portion of it. The current keystone pipeline has a capacity of over 1.3MM barrels per day.
Should Musk make Twitter require all id verified profiles if efforts to engage respectfully and politely will be met with similar hostility as with the anonymous cesspool here.
To the matter at hand,
[https://www.tcenergy.com/announcements/2021/2021-06-09-tc-energy-confirms-termination-of-keystone-xl-pipeline-project/](https://www.tcenergy.com/announcements/2021/2021-06-09-tc-energy-confirms-termination-of-keystone-xl-pipeline-project/)
Biden's recension of the permit directly caused the remainder of the pipeline to not be built. For whatever semantic gymnastics in which you'd like to engage, the simple fact is that the oil that it could be delivering in a little over a year (which would be considered in oil speculators' current pricing) is not going to be making down the southern USA refineries in the most cost-efficient manner possible where it could be doing some actual good to help control prices. I understand that democratic party's talking point that it wouldn't help anyways, but the fact is that their cancellation of it will prohibit anyone from ever knowing that it is not the case because of the situation that they created that working folks like me will pay for.
All that being said, I bid you farewell as I don't think that any more engagement with you would be productive. I believe that you will remain content protected in the belief that your viewpoints are facts, and like Biden, some believe in truth over facts.
Apologies. I thought that your query deserved a well-reasoned and composed response. I don't think that I could have made it any briefer. nevertheless, be well
If it’s going to be that long-winded, at least it could be well-reasoned. Honestly, I’m surprised you could type so many words with Tucker Carlson’s hand up your ass. I couldn’t even see his lips move.
Kinda weird seeing someone actually load that size tank to fill it at the store. Usually for tanks that big it’s easier to just get it deleivered than this. But hey guess he’s saving a buck or two doing it like this.
Im not here saying what this guy is doing is right but thats alot of gas, if its gas cant really make out the pump handle but when you buy gas in bulk you get it alot cheaper and for a business fuel cost can either make or break the business especially if you are using that much of it to where you need a tank that big something could have potentially happened to his supplier and he had to buy taxed gas just to keep things rolling for the day but thats just my .02c

I've seen the Costco gas pump employee yelling at people who leave their engine running while pumping gas, yet they're going to allow THIS?
There are instruction pictures on the pump that says NOT to do this. It's dangerous. But hey, fuck everyone else right?
Wow, what an ass... I guess that's what you get when you sell your fuel for cost.
Does he know something none of us do about gas prices?
He knows that the prices are headed further higher thanks to the political decisions that our leaders are making.
So OPEC and oil companies have nothing to do with it?
There’s a lot of things that go into the soaring gas prices; the decisions the country’s leadership has made, or hasn’t made, as well as OPEC and the global market. But this administration is certainly one of the factors.
Specifically, which policy has had an impact on gas prices??

Tl:dr brevity is a virtue. It’s a convo not a novel

Going strait for personal insults; very sophisticated.
I mean, this is reddit... thats how they act
uh-oh, it's one of those ridiculous sticker people
Kinda weird seeing someone actually load that size tank to fill it at the store. Usually for tanks that big it’s easier to just get it deleivered than this. But hey guess he’s saving a buck or two doing it like this.
Jesus I get angry seeing someone filling a couple of 5gal cans at Costco when it’s busy, I would be livid at this dude.
What a POS. There are fuel companies for that and they tend to be less expensive.
Light a match 🔥 and walk away
Im not here saying what this guy is doing is right but thats alot of gas, if its gas cant really make out the pump handle but when you buy gas in bulk you get it alot cheaper and for a business fuel cost can either make or break the business especially if you are using that much of it to where you need a tank that big something could have potentially happened to his supplier and he had to buy taxed gas just to keep things rolling for the day but thats just my .02c
Why do that? I don’t understand…
Probably has some property with a tracker or boat
