I wish I could disagree. That's but one reason I am so convinced that the ascent of the Antichrist will happen.
There are too many people that would WILLINGLY go along with his plans for planet Earth.

For the past several months, a White House-led team of economic specialists has marked each day in the same way: With a painstaking, state-by-state examination of gasoline prices and the intricate market forces pushing them relentlessly upward.
Senior officials and others close to President Joe Biden view those prices as the cost that most directly affects voters’ everyday lives, and therefore their perception of the economy as well. As such, Biden and his top advisers fixate on them with an intensity that some aides describe as obsessive. White House chief of staff Ron Klain has grown particularly absorbed by the issue, checking the average price of a gallon of gas every morning. He’s lamented that it’s the one item everyone knows the cost of because gas station billboards are so ubiquitous throughout the country.
“Could they advertise anything else?” Klain rhetorically, and ruefully, asked one recent visitor.
The White House’s focus on gas prices is bred from two sobering political conclusions top officials have made. The first is that they have little control over the problem. The second is that as prices rise at the pump, so do Democrats’ odds of a midterm wipeout - especially as the average U.S. gallon of gas hits fresh record highs.
“There really isn’t one silver bullet,” said one person familiar with the discussions. “It’s a really difficult issue to message around when you can’t deny the reality.”
In a frantic effort to try to slow gas prices that have risen by a dollar per gallon in just the last three months, Biden aides have internally debated a host of ideas. Led by the National Economic Council, the cross-government team filled with aides from Cabinet agencies like the Department of Energy, State Department and Treasury has weighed endorsing a federal gas tax holiday...

Even a blind squirrel could find that nut - just take off the stranglehold of regulations and harsh taxation of the energy industry, and cut the mandates.
Introduce nuclear energy, and open up the natural gas and petroleum exploration, extraction, refining and pipeline capabilities to their fullest extent. Put it on a wartime mobilization basis, and go “warp speed”.
But NOOO - gotta keep the “greens” happy. At whatever cost.
Hubby puts gas in the cars so I haven’t seen that. I did put them on the yards of empty baby formula shelves. And I always put them on roasts in the meat bin with PINO’s finger pointing at the per-pound price.
I just lay them down, and don’t stick them.
Well he did create jobs in the sticker industry.
I’ve seen them at a few pumps.
Yup. It's us little peasants' fault for noticing that it costs over a hundred dollars now to fill up a tank.
Correct
Shutting down the entire industry has nothing to do with it.
We are in a transition,don’t believe your lying eyes,and don’t listen to those lying republicans! What do they know?
Of course they haven’t. They intended to do what was done. Deep State/NWO overlords implemented to advance the Great Reset agenda. All deliberate, on purpose and by design.
The “good” thing about Xiden (if there is a “good” thing) is that he will shoot his mouth off thereby unintentionally divulging what the cabal’s real “thoughts” are. Obama, while equally anti-American, mendacious and evil, was more disciplined thus making it easier for the media to cover for him.
The Morons forgot to factor one more thing into their F*cked Up Liberal Calculus. We are now hearing that the electrical grid has a good chance to fail this summer. So tell me Oh Wise Liberal POS BiDung, where do I plug in my ELECTRIC car???
Tell me about it. My F150 has a 24 gallon gas tank and I filled it up two days about with only about .375 gallons left in the tank.
Fixed for accuracy.
ONE individual (the ‘resident’) should NOT have control over energy policy (like shutting down Keystone) that has such a widespread detrimental effect on a nation’s people...
Yep. Even when Obama explained his intention, the MSM covered for him.
“ We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.” Obama
And Biden says, “Hold my beer.”
Welcome to our world where we track gas prices because it has such an impact on our lives.
There is an easy solution to the problem with gas prices, but I’m afraid that if I say it, Biden’s people just may do it.
It’s like they never heard of Gas Buddy.
Running a fuel tank low on a vehicle can cause pump failure (overheating the fuel pump). Just so you know.
Satanic forces are behind this, all of this.
Pray America!!!!
It’s an electric fuel pump not far outside of the gas tank. Been doing that for over 130K miles now.
