His rally and comments were hilarious. If he doesn’t want to be talked about he doesn’t have to hold rallies.
Not sure what you want me to do about it?

Right now he's favored to win in 2024. I hope we can do better.

Watching him win and get emboldened will be a shining monument in American corruption. We should welcome it.

So far, no one has been able to explain HOW EXACTLY "Joe Biden is makin' muh gas go up, a-hur"
I'd love to see a fact-based reasoning. Otherwise, it's oil companies, OPEC, and any politicians not actively fighting against what these companies are doing to us via gas prices.

The lady and I have been dreamily talking of moving to Mexico or Italy. If Trump gets elected again, Mexico may be the ticket.
What a world!

Biden must be the president of the world because gas prices are even higher in the rest of the world
https://globalnews.ca/news/8899452/gas-prices-canada-vehicle-breakdown/amp/
Quote:
According to Statistics Canada, the average price for regular gasoline in the country was $1.01 per litre in June 2020. It increased to $1.337 in June 2021. On June 6, the average price for regular fuel in Canada was $2.046 per litre, according to CAA.
Canada: 5.86 per gallon US

Chop, what policies, besides ceding Ukraine to Russian autonomy, should the Democrats pursue to rebuild the strength of the domestic and global economy?

"Ceding Ukraine to Russian autonomy"? Russia's hasn't even asked for that. 
I know you asked chop, but my response is to remove the sanctions.

You’re right I did ask chop, I’m trying to preempt the “everything in the world revolves around Biden’s position on Ukraine” argument that will inevitably take over this thread.

As Falcon mentioned, it's not about ceding autonomy, it's about lifting the fruitless and destructive sanctions on Russia. The truth is that we relied on them for oil, fertilizer, and wheat - all very important basic resources for the survival of a nation. Now the prices of all these things have skyrocketed as we seek out more expensive suppliers. This puts the hurt on just about everybody. Farmers especially are facing such high costs that a lot of them are going out of business.
Biden needs to reverse his policies on the oil & gas sector and reapprove the Keystone XL pipeline. Actually take meaningful steps to reduce gas prices by ramping up domestic production. He needs to do something to address the ongoing diesel shortages. Instead he is talking about how it's an "incredible transition" to green energy, which makes no sense. The infrastructure is not in place for a full switch to renewable energy and most Americans don't have money to buy an electric vehicle anyway. Most of them get pissed off when it's even suggested as being a solution.
But more importantly, he needs to address inflation. This isn't really possible without the war in Ukraine ending or the gov't halting almost all spending. But instead of pushing for either of these they came close to making it significantly worse with the "build back better" bill. If that had passed, inflation would be even higher.
At any rate, he is not interested in doing any of these things. High gas prices and inflation are both fully intended by his administration. They want you poor, broke and desperate to assist with "transitioning" to whatever larger agenda and societal changes they have planned down the road. Funny they didn't ask Americans what they thought about being intentionally bankrupted for the agenda of the Democratic party.

The world economy will never return to "normal" until the war is over. Of course it's the Europeans and other poor third world countries being hurt the most by it, but it still affects us significantly.
I understand you'd like to downplay it, but Biden's admin, along with the last Democrat admin, pushed for this war and they are responsible for the consequences. Luckily Americans are realizing this and the longer the economy goes downhill, the worse future elections will be for Democrats.

The US doesn’t rely on Russia for oil or wheat. The US can produce enough fossil fuels to satisfy our own demand.

So, if domestic producers refuse to increase production, should Biden start nationalizing them?
Quote:
Given these prospects, Halliburton appears fully valued, although there may be further upside if large price increases can be pushed onto customers. There is also significant downside risk if the war in Ukraine is resolved sooner than expected, or the global economy enters a recession.
Haliburton, one of the largest owners of oilfield tech, right now is worried that their stock prices might stagnate if they can't raise prices further, or if the war ends, or if the economy crashes.
Quote:
This is also likely to drive investment towards short-cycle barrels. This should mean the prioritization of development over exploration, tiebacks over new infrastructure and shale over deepwater. Halliburton should benefit from this as more CapEx will be directed towards wellbore services rather than infrastructure, and completions and production rather than drilling and evaluation.
See, the problem with spending money on infrastructure is that more production would cause gas prices to go down, which lowers the profit margins that the oil companies are currently earning. So why would they ever ramp up production? Especially when you're blaming Biden for it instead of them!

False, on both counts. We were not energy independent under Trump, and we are still currently energy independent under Biden.

It’s a perfect situation for oil companies. They don’t have to work as hard. They make record profits and the democrats get blamed
