Oil Prices Pass $112 Barrel, OPEC Holding Firm, Here Comes $7 Gasoline
Last Refuge Sundance Dude ^ | 3/2/22

Posted on 03/02/2022 5:25:32 PM PST by BusterDog

Everything including oil, natural gas, wheat, and fertilizer is skyrocketing in price right now. Ten- and twenty-year records are being eclipsed, as energy prices are soaring on the back of oil flirting with $114 a barrel. Unfortunately, here comes more inflationary pain, and everything is being blamed on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

$7 a gallon is a Democrats wet dream. Instead of sling how can they help with prices. A true dem will say, see i told you so… when are you going to give up your gas burning vehicle and go full electric.
But what a dem forgets is that fossil fuels are used for a lot more then cars.

And Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Youtube.

Absolutely.
I have to attend a weekly meeting with a rabid liberal, who chants the talking point “IT’S A GLOBAL MARKET, NO ONE LEADER CAN AFFECT IT!!” when gas prices were mentioned. Then she shows a callous disregard for blue collar workers, saying “I know it’s hard on the poor people, but…”

Sounds like she’s just a wee bit overprotective of Brandon, eh?
(Then explain why things were so much better in 2020!)

I won’t lie, I hate high fuel prices. But I will be glad it screws Democrats too. Not just Republicans. May those Democratic fools suffer the pain of the jackass they elected to the presidency.

I saw a station here in Atlanta with pricing at
4 dollars a gallon for Diesel and gas.

It was 2 dollars under Trump.


$4/gal
Joe did that!

Like virtually everything that comes out of Biden’s mouth, that temporary inflation wasn’t truthful.

There are many-many bad signs.

I think we are a lot closer to a point where even the economy takes a dip than people think.

Yes.. Russia is number 4 with ammonia based fertilizers. But, they are way ahead in Urea based fertilizers and combined they are number one in the world.

But, they never show that statistic combined.

Ukraine, is number 3 in the world in corn production if I remember right.

So this craps gotta end real quick since the WORLD needs that stuff.
Oh Pig Face Bidet dealt a hell of a hand to Putin. Putin holds the whole deck.
Trump had Putin on the ropes by simply having America number one, or nearly number one in world oil productions.

Now you know why we CAN NOT stop importing crude from Russia. And WE, are financing this invasion.

Feel like a sucker? I do!

That is a good description of how our “ruling class” politicians see us.

I have enjoyed hearing a few Anti-Trump millennials in the extended family complain about fuel prices and used it as a teachable moment.

To be fair, the Euro’s are financing Putin a lot more than we are.

But, also to be fair, we “could” address ALL of our contribution fairly quickly, while Europe has a much more substantial problem. It’s of their own making, of course, but, Germany could end up with millions of people in warming shelters next winter if Pooty cuts gas supplies (or pipelines get blasted, etc.).

At least my family is ok on the nitrogen fertilizers. We have a small flock of chickens. :-)

This all could have been avoided if our current “leaders” were not weak minded fools.

Brandon said in the SOTU that companies can solve inflation by reducing costs

He’s brilliant! He also thinks he can end the Ukraine war by telling Putin to, “Stop It!”
