Covid his the country late 2019 through early 2021. Oil companies still receive about 20 bill a year in govt subsidies - they haven't been cut with anything. The reason there is a diesel price increase is because refineries shut down during COVID.
From the Exxon website:
"Producing more oil and gas than any other U.S. energy company
Energy solutions are required to meet basic human needs and drive economic progress.

The current supply and demand imbalance in global oil and natural gas markets is having a very real impact on families around the world. Today, demand is outpacing available supplies, which is increasing prices for oil and refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel.

The imbalance is largely a result of the dramatic decline of global demand during the pandemic, which led to less industry investment and refinery closures. Supply was further impacted by the Ukraine invasion as global sanctions resulted in the removal of Russian oil supplies from the market.

Rebalancing supply and demand will take time. And, investments in oil and natural gas production are large and take years to implement."
penta - we're not going to agree on this. I've stated my opinion and have respected yours Like you said we're all in it together.

Good post, Exxon up 26% in last 6 months while Dow average is coming back but still down 4.5 in last 6 months. Two years ago I bought Exxon and it’s now up over 226% up! Thanks Covid

Obiden can say whatever he wants, here's the facts.

Big Oil loves Obiden - scarcity

Oil pricing goes far beyond just supply and demand, if only it were that simple!

The way oil is traded on the financial market has a massive influence on its price. Speculators invest in oil futures, essentially bets on how much oil will cost at a later date, and this in turn affects how other people think oil should be priced. It also affects how much oil the petroleum companies will release to the market.

Four major factors help determine the price of oil: supply, consumption, financial markets and government policies .

When you have Biden and his democrats pledging to destroy the oil industry then taking action to do so, cost soar like it has been.

10 years from now the candidate will have wires draping from his skull, then will it dawn on you?

They lost the debate and blamed it on the technology.

No, that would imply some offense on my part or that he has done something wrong. I just think that saying this guy is going to be a cyborg is crazy talk. LOL

Well there is a lot of crazy people running this year. Looks like Biden opened the gates to the asylum. We have Beto in Texas who is a three time loser has been arrested for DWI, Burglary and theft and is running for Governor. He has ran for Senate twice and LOST, and is now running for Governor. Democrats have dumped billions trying to get that loser to run (Ruin?) our State. That is best Democrats can do?

You got Fedderman in Pennsylvania who can not complete a sentence. I hope he has a full recovery but odds are that is as good as he is going to get. He can not hear, he has to have teleprompter to translate. Who is pulling his strings and telling him what to think and say? Then again who is pulling Dictator Bidens strings and telling him what to think and say? And they are neck and neck in the polls? WTF? I think it is disrespectful for him to campaign for one of highest offices in the land wearing SAME old hoodie and short pants all the time. He did dress up for the Debate which was a disaster. If you were hiring someone for an high paying office job and they came in dressed like that what would you think about the slob? Then he can not hear with out translator or complete a sentence! Would you hire him? Why is this even close?

You got Charlie Crist running against Ron DeSantis saying what a terrible job DeSantis has done and needs to be kicked out? Really?

You got Gretchen Whitmer who shut down the schools for children for two years and is saying she did a great job of saving lives and she said she only shut down schools for 3 months which is an out right lie. Gretchin Whitmer is also the one who killed hundreds of old people by putting Covid cases in old folks and retirement homes. KNOWING that older people were most vulnerable. I am not a Doctor and I knew better than that.


You got Val Deming running for Senate and she thinks she can beat Marco Rubio? She is a total idiot and nutcase and proved it when she was trying to impeach Trump. I do not really like Marco Rubio but can not imagine how that idiot Val Demings could beat him.

But then those same people keep re-electing Pelosi, Shumer, Eric Swallowell, Jerry Nadler (Riddler) and wonder why Country is all messed up.

It'll dawn on you in ten years or less I was right again, when a candidate has wires draped from his skull.

Stacy Abrams...... Best they can do? Wow! Generally I would think you get the ones from smarter end of the spectrum to lead and not the stupid ones.

And her whole campaign is based on she wants women to have the right to kill their babies up to due date. She has nothing else. Most of America have accepted Abortion but most also believe that if it is going to be done it should happen early in the pregnancy.

For most Americans Abortion is low on priorities, things like gas prices, inflation, freedom of speech and Border control are what we care about. She is a one trick pony and I do not think Abortion to due date is going to win her anything. I hope the people realize there are more important things at this time.


I hope she loses big and we never hear from her again.

I am a Georgian, and to clarify, Stacey Abrams' one and only claim to fame is falsely asserting "voter suppression."

Not true she helped with voter fraud in 2020.

That is true and it was almost enough to "Win" Now I think most people see her for what she is and are about tired of a three time loser. If she can not "Win" this time I do not think she will ever get nominated again.

Couldn't stomach reading the whole thread. But i see that homo Ed is still the "village idiot" around here.

Maybe he should watch 2000 mules instead of CommieNewsNetwork or MSDNC. Both have appeared to T.D.S. his brain into mush ..

P.S. Cone sukka, your still a loser ..

That is all .. carry on !

The radical left supports defunding a constitutional police force and replacing it with a police force which is capable of an obstruction of duty, like defending drag queen story time in kindergarten class.

Same tactic Hitler used to purge the good law abiding German police force on the night of the long knives,to be replaced by the SS.

The radical left will most likely hire their usual hired thugs useful idiots, ANTIFA and black lives matter.

Same old leftist authoritarian playbook.
