Topic	What happened to the "I did that" Biden stickers at the gas pumps?
adjl 12/01/22 11:46:35 AM #27:	SKARDAVNELNATE posted... The House of Representatives aren't investigating because of an Instagram post. There was an Instagram post referencing the announcement made by the incoming House of Representatives. You've got your order of events wrong. Ah, my bad. I misunderstood. To correct that quote: "there was ample reason to suspect guilt [in the matter of Russian election interference], not just the Republican-controlled house throwing every possible heinous charge they can think of against Biden in a blatant show of political theatrics while presenting zero actual evidence to support any of it. Better? SKARDAVNELNATE posted... The US was a net exporter of gas under Trump. Biden's anti-oil policies changed that. Given how vocal he has been in a key factor in gas prices I don't think it's so stupid to draw a connection. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/crude-oil-production Production dipped in early 2020 for reasons that I certainly hope I don't have to explain to you, and have continued to fluctuate since then, but on average US oil production has been higher under Biden than Trump. Are there any anti-oil policies in particular you'd like to cite to help make the point you're trying to make? Note also that domestic production does very little to affect domestic prices. Oil is a global market: If foreign buyers are willing to pay more, domestic producers will sell to them instead of to domestic buyers. That means foreign prices directly drive domestic prices. Domestic production does affect global supply (and therefore prices), but this notion so many people have of "more domestic production means we'll have cheaper gas than the rest of the world" is nothing more than baseless fantasy. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Is that what the bill was really about, or was it climate change legislation along with funding to special interest groups like is usually slipped into those things? https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3920/text You don't have to speculate. If you suspect there might be some other factors in the bill that meant that Republicans voting against it wasn't simply a matter of voting along party lines for the sake of appeasing their favourite corporate masters, read the bill and cite them yourself. Don't draw conclusions on hunches when there's all the empirical evidence you could possibly need staring you in the face. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I'd rather blame him for misuse of the nation oil reserve for personal and political gain. I'm sure you would, but you might want to come up with an actual reason for that before diving headfirst into such a conclusion. --- This is my signature.
