Capitalism works. Socialism/marxism doesn’t. Any questions?

The GOP has gone as far as to accuse the Biden administration of deliberately boosting oil prices in order to advance a green agendaRead no farther.

Pretty sure that someone has posted the breakdown on here of gas costs and how they’re broken down. IIRC the stations only make .08-.10 per gallon. Anyone? Bueller?⛽😵💫

Thank capitalism for pumps, gas, and the vehicles that use them.

Biden EXPLICITLY PROMISED to destroy the oil and gas industry to the benefit of his Green coalition.

Capitalism did not restrict our gas and oil production, our Marxist politicians did. THAT is what made fuel prices go sky high.

and thank capitalism for having a pump at all.

Government interference getting in the way of capitalism leads to these high prices. If the government got out of the way the prices would plunge.

...ah, ya got me... it’s a fair cop... oh wait, is that what this is? When I read it, it looked like an explanation for why traditional capitalist doctrine doesn’t work in the oil and gas industry. Something we should know, if it’s true...

Capitalism works just fine in all sectors of the economy, oil and gas production and distribution included.

The average profit on a gallon of gasoline, after expenses, for a gas station is about 10 cents. Not much. Of course, politicians do much better (taxes, etc).

Pain at the pump a consequence of allegedly stolen election imo.
Patriots, keep up the great work in supporting Trump-endorsed MAGA candidates in 2022 primaries.
Trump Endorsement Record: 147-10 (94%) (7.20.22)

“When I read it, it looked like an explanation for why traditional capitalist doctrine doesn’t work in the oil and gas industry.”
Communists have “doctrine”. Capitalism is just an observation about the natural way that the world works, it doesn’t need a doctrine.

It’s government interference with capitalism that has caused this.
