It never ceases to amaze me just how many so-called experts don't get this. Oil is a commodity. It is traded on the futures markets. That's how oil prices are determined. Anything that directly or indirectly affects the world's supply of oil, or even appears to affect it in the future, changes the price of oil, often within days, hours, if not minutes. Basic info, but apparently it needs to be more "nuanced" for Liberals to get it.

Pelosi could lower gas prices tommorrow if she decided to cut back Congress's vacation and get serious about increasing domestic oil production. But, she won't because she doesn't care about the practical effects this has on the average person. This is about political power and if she thinks the average person stands between her and more power, the little guy will always lose.

When ever I hear or read someone mentioning “expert” I stop listening or reading

Here's my guess:

"None are so blind as those who refuse to see."
