So you’re happy with your vote for Biden ? Things are really looking peachy !
A lot happier than the 4 years before him followed by the dudes coup attempt after he lost the election. He did set a record though as the only president impeached twice and he did it all in just one term.

....except for the little details...that the Ukraine military force is actual nazis with swastikas and Hitler tattoos and the nazi government banned all other parties.
We are paying the Politicians in Ukraine and their retirement with the last payments.. We are supporting their govt officials while this country falls apart.. Well atleast when it crashes and burns here they will have their 401k.
Must have missed that... What did he say or do again? Wondering .

The loons believe in fairy tales of eco-friendly energy that we can turn on by cutting off fossil fuels use/production.
They are 100% clueless and mind-controlled and are plunging the world into a nature-ravaging chaos.
One week the idea is to buy all the Russian oil before they can sell it to others for higher prices, and the next week it's "Let's cut ourselves off and buy it for much higher prices after it's been shipped around to other countries first".

What's a "Chicom"?
It's a term bigots use to refer to the Chinese.

"U.S. energy exports are booming at the very time domestic gasoline and diesel prices are at or near their peaks. With America’s fuel prices expected to rise even further, the “resource nationalism” debate — should we be exporting commodities we need? — is heating up.
According to new tanker cargo volume data from Kpler, U.S. crude exports averaged 3.13 million barrels/day (b/d) in January-May. That’s the best first five months of the year ever. Exports of clean petroleum products — including the diesel and gasoline in such high demand domestically — averaged 2.32 million b/d. That’s the best first five months since 2019, pre-COVID."

I don't get it. Why do so many of the people who clutch their pearls about "socialism" seem to be advocating for it when they think it would benefit them?
International petroleum markets seem to be very efficient at directing their product to those willing to pay the most for it, which on the average is a reasonable proxy for those who need it the most or will at least gain the largest economic benefit from it. Given the size of those markets it is hard to see how any government could effectively intervene, and such interventions would likely be ruinously expensive for taxpayers, consumers, and shareholders.
The kinds of upper middle class folks who are on EBR are exactly the kinds of people who have 401ks, IRAs, and pensions that have investments in oil companies. If you argue for intervention in those markets you are arguably stealing from your left pocket and giving it to your right pocket.
The reason oil prices behave the way they do is because of decisions and events that happened in the past, sometimes over a decade ago. Because of the shale gas boom oil prices collapsed in the US and over half of the companies in that business went bankrupt or left the business. The ones that are left are mercilessly punished by investors (like you through your 401k) if they ever even suggest they would increase production.
Just sell enough of your oil company stock to counter the higher price at the pump. Recent gains should have more than compensated for pump price increases.
