Three. The ransom ware attack and shutdown of the Colonial pipeline-we haven’t recovered from that either.
Four. The switch over to the more expensive summer blend.
Five. Sanctions against Russia which limited the amount of oil Russia can export, which in turned limited supplies in Europe, which in turn limited supplies world wide, which caused the law of supply and demand to send prices up.

We live in a World where behavior like this has been normalized for far too long. Why do Countries like this, who have no concern in the best interests of the World's well-being as a whole, have any seat at the table for Global matters? Can't be about Money...they already have the Lion's share of it.

You don't understand. Joe is acting with our best interests in mind.

Quote:
During a Monday press conference, Biden said the high gas prices were part of "an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels."
Dang, I love "incredible transitions".

I wonder how many "fossil fuel" vehicles Joe and his family use, and how many are used for his "official" activities. And to what extent he has reduced either number in his quest for less reliance on fossil fuels at any time in the past.

Absolutely.

I love how Democrats talk about how nixing Keystone wasn't that big of a deal. It was a big enough deal to be one of the very first actions of the new President. GTFOH with that shit.

Regardless of what the end result is for the Country...Democrats have some serious receipts coming.

Glad I am self employed so I can show up for work late on November 9, 2022.
I know I am going to be up all night enjoying all the ass whippings Democrats take. Not sure about everyone else but all the Democratic strong holds in this

state are always the last to get a final count in. Some of the precincts in Northern Virginia are 90%+ Democrats.

I feel sorry for truckers that have to go in and out of those old sections of cities that were built in the horse and buggy days. I used to work in the produce district in East Los Angeles, and drove in and out of areas like that and Vernon often, when I lived in Riverside picking up and dropping off for outside processing of machined parts. I could pick what time but still hated driving some places in an SUV. I could not imagine navigating a big rig through there at rush hour. I also gave the truckers space and new they needed a lot of room to maneuver. Most people are not so courteous.

I honestly never laughed so hard in my life. Seeing Chris Mathews constantly fight back tears was hilarious.
