Reminds me of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, sneering at intellectual critics of the “curse” of wealth — may we all be smitten with a disaster like that.
I hope to hell he does - gas is ≈ $4.89/gallon in California - although any increase in production here would be heavily taxed by Newsom.
You would think the Leftists who invented the climate change scam would pick up the phone and explain to Bernie there’s no need to freak out - it’s just a scam.
That’s really cold to leave him hanging like that.
Wow the left are insane. Yeah, lower gas prices, lower prices for everything will result and by golly, that will be “disasterous” according to the insane
Trump “will work with the fossil fuel industry to increase oil production,”
Hey Bernie...I already said I’m voting for him...you don’t have to convince me!
Doesn’t increasing oil production hurt Russia where it hits the hardest??? Someone forgot to tell the lefties that.
It’s obvious Bernie skipped econ 101 for Marxism 101.
It’s as though these people think we’ve never seen a Trump POTUS before, the gaslighting of “he’ll be a disaster” was proven false during his term.
Yes, we’ll go back to everything going in the right direction! The horror!
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)The minute Biden “read the riot act” to all the oil companies, telling them that oil was going to become a non factor in the economy, the result was directly and exactly “a conspiracy against the public, and a contrivance to raise prices.” Far from demanding that they compete at arm’s link to satisfy society’s need/desire for energy, as any liberal antimonopolist would do. Biden’s dictum constituted permission and encouragement for the oil companies to cease competing. So they did, reducing their expenditures on producing more oil and reducing the supply - forcing up the price of oil precisely as a cartel would do.
In the past year I have been listening to “reason,” as Bernie would have it, to the extent that I now can relate to Elon Musk’s prediction that - a critical tipping point having been passed due in no small part to abusive Biden action - battery electric vehicles have become seriously competitive with gasoline-fueled vehicles. I have bought what for me is a serious chunk of Tesla stock as a result. But - recall the “Osborne Effect” - it is at present a good time to hold off on buying a new car, if you can.
The problem is precisely that BEVs (read almost exclusively Teslas) have been coming down in price and can be expected to continue to do so in the future. Which means that used Tesla prices face serious price competition from new Teslas. So if you’re considering a new car, sharpen your pencil to see if you should prefer a new Tesla - but altho I wouldn’t expect a Tesla’s performance to degrade I would expect declining resale value. So try not to buy - any car - unless you can be happy holding on to it for the longish term.
It’s not a problem!! My father worked hard for Texaco for over 40 years. Only time he missed a day was for a flu epidemic in the 1960’s. The nurse at the refinery was so concerned she came to our house to check on him. When that old fool, Biden, took the oil out of the equation, he stole every Texan’s legacy from them and that just isn’t right. I’d give anything to have my Daddy back for just one more day but I am glad he was not here to see what Biden has done to the oil industry. He just wouldn’t understand it. I know I don’t.
Best campaign ad that we didn’t have to pay for....
Even the left is saying it!!! Trump will increase oil production and bring down the cost of energy, and help make the USA energy independent reducing our dependance on foreign nations.
Win, win, win.
