“It will just bankrupt them.”

In the month since President Joe Biden entered the US presidential palace, gas prices have risen to an extent previously unseen since before the advent of the coronavirus pandemic.
Gas prices are up more than 10 cents a gallon nationwide in the last week alone. Some have pointed out increases in price that are even greater, with gas prices rising sixty cents a gallon in some areas of Texas since December.

AAA’s national average gas price is listed at $2.63 for a gallon of standard gasoline, increasing a full 25 cents per gallon since the day of Biden’s inauguration.
Biden ended the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipe from Canada that would have allowed the flow of crude oil without a need for polluting trucks and freight trains.
Biden’s Department of Energy denied a request from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to temporarily waive some environmental standards during the onset of the winter storm, preventing Texas’ oil infrastructure from producing enough fuel to keep the state’s homes heated and provided with electricity in the historic storm.
ERCOT and the Department of Energy failed Texas. NOT Cruz. #CruzFailedTexas

This development harms middle and working-class Americans the most, a constituency that Biden has pledged to secure economic relief for in a campaign promise he’s yet to deliver anything on. It’s likely that the price of gasoline will rise even more in the coming months, with Biden moving to enact green energy requirements even as working Americans are faced with unprecedented economic insecurity. The Democrat’s promises to Al Gore and the green energy lobby are more important than economic reality, it seems.
The vast majority of Americans don’t have the luxury of commuting to work on Amtrak rail everyday. Until Biden can actually deliver anything for the everyday American in terms of coronavirus relief, all he’s done is take money from their pocket during the coronavirus recession by ensuring an increase in gas prices.
Up 60 cents here.
It will, and all those big SUVs and luxury cars will be sitting in driveways and dealer lots and showrooms not being sold, so the mfrs will have to lay off UNION WORKERS by the thousands......................
Rising like crazy in New England, thanks to the Biden voters.
Let’s not leave out 100,000 China Flu deaths....
Up 20 percent in my area since the November scam
“It will just bankrupt them.”
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
$.30/gal plus increase in Hall county north of you. From ~$1.95 - $2.05 to $2.55 yesterday, at pretty much EVERY gas station — kinda like they were TOLD what the price is ...
Heard a “news” report the other day spinning the rise in gasoline prices as a good thing.
It was a sign of the economy “roaring back” under Bite Me.
For Upstate South Carolina,$1.89 to $2.39 since January 20th.
Funny. The real leftist solution is for you to sit on a unicorn standing on a magic carpet and then float to your destination. Naturally.
I won't tell Greta you asked the stuff about busses. Leftists mean having lots of people in busses means lots of cars are not in use on the roads. Leaves more nice clear space for the mayor and council members' limos to get through faster.
Surveys in Los Angeles for decades confirmed "A huge majority of LA residents want bus and train availability increased to alleviate traffic congestion. But they want someone else to ride in them."
The #Bidenhunta
Bump
Ours was 1.91 before inauguration, today it’s 2.65. Indiana
How much are we up since Joe Biden was told to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline? Is he still intent on closing DAPL pipeline?
You bet he is!......................
I bought some oil stocks. Oil prices will inevitably increase. They have to, if you want people to adopt other “green” energy. So long as gas/oil is cheap they won’t be able to drive their agenda, comparatively “green” energy is too expensive.
Mass transit is too dangerous because of ferals..................
Bttt.
