Normally I would agree. Price controls don’t work. But there is no “supply” to meet demand in this instance.

I'm pretty sure that eventually the supply will recover.

And Biden shut down the keystone which alone raised gas prices here in TN some 80 cents per gallon. Biden is an idiot who has never had a real job.

If prices went up, demand would go down at some point, and there’d be a reason to expend extra resources to import supply from other areas.

Now the stations just sell out and close, and fuel can’t be found in some areas at any cost that isn’t much worse than the ‘gouging’.

Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and gas prices went up
80 cents a gal here in Nashville. Now this. Biden is an idiot.
