Breitbart ^ | 03/15/2022 | Trent Baker

Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was asked about the possibility of the White House putting a hold on the nationwide gas tax until gas prices come down in the United States.

Pretty sure the sanctions on Russian Oil came from the White House same with shutting down keystone pipeline.

Reading comprehension matters. Differentiate between direct and indirect. Direct means they are fixing the price. Indirect means they are making policy decisions that will assuredly impact price positions.

I’ll bet the only reason the market is down right now is because no one is canceling buying oil from Russia.

In fact, there might eventually be more in the market if China gets special rates and other asian nations as well.

US oil should take profits to offset the COVID crash where they can now imo. The market will find a new equilibrium while the dollar continues to lose value.
