It's interesting how you all scream capitalism and massive company profits are great. The US shale companies flooded the oil market with so much oil there was almost nowhere to store it and caused oil prices to go NEGATIVE during the height of the pandemic.

Now the global economy and usage is slowly recovering to where it was before and is expected to continue this year and beyond. Go look at the price of oil before the pandemic. It was hovering near $50-60/barrel. Guess where the price is right now? Just under $60 barrel. Prices for oil were in fact higher during a lot of Fat Nixon's presidency reaching as high as $75/barrel in 2018.

I'd suggest moving to China if you want to know what communism is.

I'd also suggest understanding supply and demand and realizing that Biden hasn't done anything to affect supply. Been watching too much Tucker and Hannity I'd assume.

We could get there eventually with Biden cozying up to China etc. History shows that communism begins with the censoring of free speech, and sadly, that is becoming much worse this year with big tech thinking they can control everyone and even threatening/attacking other countries now!😟https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/facebook-attacked-sovereign-nation-will-not-intimidated-australian-prime-minister-responds-facebooks-shakedown-threats/ Some people that came here to get away from communism are warning us.

You may think the Gateway Pundit is nothing, but they are listed as one of the fastest growing US websites. People are flocking to other platforms and news sites because of the censorship,etc.

Keystone was for oil coming from Canada being sent to refineries in Texas to be shipped out globally. Nothing to do with our prices for gas. Not to mention the pipeline isn't even done and wouldn't have been for quite a while

Exactly. The good thing is any deals lifting economic sanctions with those countries that let's them export oil etc. and helps global supply and therefore keeps prices for gas down, which is what I thought people want.

Dang , your superior intelligence is overwhelming,  never heard of this supply and demand thingy in this greedy capitalistic country. Thanks for lumping everyone together when one or two jumped the gun (can I say that these days), on the whys currently, when others were talking about what the future holds. Funny you say people think socialism is "coming" . Where have you been the last 20 years.

I think there was some increases in pump prices already happening before this cold wave impacted the southern refineries, but I don't get up every morning tracking such so I could be off on that. And if it's all due to the current TX situation that's fine too. But don't think big petro will let Keystone get killed without a financial tantrum of some sort which usually means we the consumer will bear the brunt of such debacles in the long run. They won't eat the cost to date if it's shut down, you and I will. even if it's slowly over time. That's just how things work in this era. Not sure who was first to the table of passing all the costs onto the backs of the common worker/tax-payer the Feds or the Corps, but they both do so and I feel the Feds do it best (worst) with increasing regularity.

What are you talking about? Trump relaxed environmental regulations and allowed more drilling for oil, and prices were the lowest they've been in a very long time, probably even better considering inflation. The president doesn't directly set the price of fuel, but they can massively influence by environmental regulations, trade deals, etc.

Though people like you are pretty ignorant of people and things like Pol Pot, Wiemar Republic, CCP, etc. I don't like to get political in the place, but your post is so ignorant, it's basically

"There's no communist or socialist influence in the USA and if you disagree with me it's because a cult leader said so"

I imagine you don't even realize "In God We Trust" was put on our currency when we were at war with the communist, and it was a political statement that we weren't giving into the Godless communists. It's been kind of played down in modern history courses, but we had lots of wars and big ordeals over communism spreading and taking root around the globe. Do you think these people just disappeared?

Except the "communism" the republicans of today scream about is Universal Healthcare, $15 minimum wage, affordable college, and not being able to say on Facebook and Twitter that you hate the Democrats and want them dead so let's go to DC and have an insurrection on the day the electoral votes are counted....

Hell even go look at how this latest group of messages on this thread was started with the claim of communism bc gas prices are a bit higher.

Yeah what’s the point, I use the word fight through the years but not to start a riot and overturn the government.

Yep. I didn’t watch that garbage video his layers put together but I do hope they included the Beastie Boys “Fight for your right to party”.🙄🙄🙄

It’s all about context. Just like when people claim a bunch of white dudes flashing the white power sign are actually randomly just doing the “ok” sign.

Well one of the main issues for pushing Trump’s impeachment trial was he used the word fight etc to incite the crowd. And he did use that word, as did many politicians for years, including many on the left as the videos prove, among other things. And btw, that video is from CNN so you shouldn’t doubt it! Sarcasm 

Funny how many people that stormed and rioted at the Capitol and were arrested literally said they thought they were listening to him and doing what he wanted them to do. And they expected a pardon.

Even more damming for him was that HE DID NOTHING FOR HOURS AFTER IT STARTED! He was happy this was happening. Multiple people said he was wondering why more people weren’t happier when it was happening. His first tweet was attacking Pence, which that tweet was then read verbatim over a bullhorn by rioters who were chanting they wanted to hang the VP. He sent out a video and a tweet saying he loved them and then stating this is what happens when you “steal an election”.

Growing up in SD and NE I still had a couple friends/family that were still somewhat supportive of that POS. But when they saw his lack of effort to shut it down immediately and his praise of the rioters, that’s when they said they were 100% done with that traitor.

Any doubt about whether he knew what would happen bc of his rhetoric was wiped away by his lack of immediate action to forcefully stop it for several HOURS while he watched it live on TV.

I miss the east coast and Chinese script kiddies keep trying to hack the site.

I have a website too and they never stop trying to log in via SSH. They've been spamming with me bulk emails to buy cheap masks in bulk for at least a year. It started before most people actually cared what Covid was.

I actually used cloudflare to ban the entire country of China, but there's a lot of big services that depend on China so you can't without bad repercussions. They're always trying to scrape all my content, gain access to my servers, etc.

Do you have any idea what this means?  In lament terms, it basically solidifies the fact that the "cartel" group called OPEC now is in a perfect position to destroy any farther opportunities of keeping prices low.  When Trump was in office he knew D**n well that whoever controls the oil supply, controls their nations national security and will drive gas prices low!  Russia needs oil to be above $50/bbl to be profitable, the UAE needs it at $20 so they weren't terribly effected.  This was a great play by Trump because Russia was loosing billions of dollars, esp in the nat gas play selling nat gas to Poland and other European countries. 

 

The U.S. is the worlds leading Oil exporter in crude and natural gas.  Now, since Biden took into office, every single country is taking advantage of his idiotic moves in the oil/gas industry and likely future moves.  All of us will see the fate of $80-100 barrel prices in oil bc of the fact that OPEC now will be in control.  It's unbelievably sad and frustrating watching all of this play out.  I cringe when I see our country being used and abused when we could still be producing enormous amounts of crude but not anymore.  They say we have a 100 years worth of oil just in the Rockies alone.  So much untapped potential.

Communism and it's problematic ideology is about more than just a difference of economies. All the same, globalist puppets like Biden are working towards the "Chinese model" where the masses are controlled by the elite class. Similar was the former USSR. Moves that put others in control of our fate (OPEC+ for instance) are a step in that direction and anti-American.

Imagine how disappointed I am. My racing jet skis burn about 7 gallons of premium fuel an hour. I think people who don't realize what Trump was doing are just going to say "just buy an electric car" without realizing there are semi trucks that get 2mpg delivering all their food and goods to them.

At least I rode them a ton last year and took advantage of it. I think we will go back to those things costing me over $50/hr to run by the time you add the oil (it's a two stroke) and pay for premium gas.

The price of oil is where it was before the pandemic hit when Fat Nixon was in office. 

It's funny you think Donald knew what he was doing. Look at the history of the price of oil during his presidency. It went up and down. Shale boomed and then a ton of companies had to go out of business because there was too much oil.

OPEC is keeping production low bc we were literally running out of places to put it. Remember when oil went negative for a day? OPEC reduced production when Fat Nixon was in office too.

When oil is $10/barrel and gas $1 like apparently you want it, companies go bankrupt. Just look at what happened to all the US shale companies when the price of oil went below $40/barrel. I guess you just want Exxon and the big guys controlling the market?

It's hilarious how you think that we're suddenly going to a zero producer oil as an energy source. 

It's also pretty sick how you apparently want to just pump baby pump rather than looking for better alternative permanent cleaner energy sources. But yeah lets use all the oil on the planet first and while we're at it tear up the Rockies bc 'Murica needs to control the oil usage/production on this entire planet.

Trump was looking out for the best interests of America and not the global elite oil tycoons.  If he was still in office, I can bet with confidence oil would not be trading at $60+ per barrel.  The reason why there was a glut of oil in March/April of last year was because demand tanked due to the pandemic and the costs storing the oil was significantly more.   Traders sold the oil at a loss so they wouldn’t carry the storage costs.  That was an anomaly bc of the global lock downs.

Sure, some businesses shut down when oil was priced low but it did not out weigh the benefits of low priced oil.  

The world will eventually shift towards green tech but it has to be done slowly and without governments forcing the issue, esp not how the “green new deal” would be implemented by AOC, Bernie and the rest of the Lib’s.

Donnie doesn't look out for anyone but himself, been that way his whole life. That's why his "charity" was shut down for fraud. His university was shut down for... fraud for ripping people off bc all he cared about was making money. He's been the same arrogant fraud conman his whole life. Has had thousands of lawsuits against him for not paying people and ripping people off. He shits on a gold toilet and has his own penthouse in New York and golf resorts around the world. Yeah definitely not an elite.

When Donnie took office oil was $54/barrel. It briefly fell as low as $42/barrel. Then from 6/2017 to 10/2018 it ROSE all the way to $74 barrel. It briefly collapsed to $42/barrel again in 12/2018, before you guessed it, it rose back to $50-60 barrel for most of 2019. In fact before it collapsed before the pandemic it was nearly $63 barrel. I'm not sure what planet you were living on where oil and gas was dirt cheap while he was in office because of any "policy" he had.

Do you have any idea what this means?  In lament terms, it basically solidifies the fact that the "cartel" group called OPEC now is in a perfect position to destroy any farther opportunities of keeping prices low.  When Trump was in office he knew D**n well that whoever controls the oil supply, controls their nations national security and will drive gas prices low!  Russia needs oil to be above $50/bbl to be profitable, the UAE needs it at $20 so they weren't terribly effected.  This was a great play by Trump because Russia was loosing billions of dollars, esp in the nat gas play selling nat gas to Poland and other European countries. 

 

The U.S. is the worlds leading Oil exporter in crude and natural gas.  Now, since Biden took into office, every single country is taking advantage of his idiotic moves in the oil/gas industry and likely future moves.  All of us will see the fate of $80-100 barrel prices in oil bc of the fact that OPEC now will be in control.  It's unbelievably sad and frustrating watching all of this play out.  I cringe when I see our country being used and abused when we could still be producing enormous amounts of crude but not anymore.  They say we have a 100 years worth of oil just in the Rockies alone.  So much untapped potential.

Please provide specific examples....

Looks to me like we're still producing the same amount of oil since Biden took office (minus the week of the extreme cold in the country).
