I've got to wonder why nobody is going after the big oil companies for price gouging and price fixing? Shell Oil just posted a 9.1 billion dollar profit for the first quarter of 2022 which was their highest profit ever! That was three times their typical quarterly profit margin in 2021. Okay some simple math. A barrel of crude oil was $120. on 6/21/22 and gas in these parts is $4.60 a gallon. Back a year or two back oil was hovering around $90.00 a barrel and gasoline was what $2.00 a gallon? A $30.00 increase of a barrel of oil is roughly 1/3 more. A 1/3 increase in oil should equal a $2.60 price of gasoline, not $4.60. I know that California has different formulated gasoline than the rest of the country, but you can't tell me that it costs an oil refinery double. Wisconsin strikes again. LOL How can anybody be this fugking stupid?

Everyone that voted for Biden voted for this.
Biden made it no secret during the campaign that he was going to shut down the pipelines and domestic oil drilling and push through the Green New Deal.
And yes, millions of tree hugging Democrats are loving this schit.
Anyone here slip on over the the DU and see what the enemy is saying about this? You mean like JeffO and Sycamore?

If the stupid b astard in the Black House wants to stem inflation he needs to STOP SPENDING $$$$$$$$$$$ and open up American oil production!! He’s never read German history of the 1920 era!!

There are food shortages and huge price increases ahead. Gas and beef will be stolen in amounts unheard of until now. I have had to spend more time in town than usual the past few days running errands. Glock 23 vs my Kahr PM 9. Head on a swivel. I put some extra effort into being polite and asked some folks how they were doing.... They are stressed. I paid 38.00 for a plastic 5 gallon gas can... it was the last one in stock. We have a good supply of beans and rice. 4 different kinds of hot sauce at the moment.... I'd like to expand that selection to keep things interesting. I'm pretty sure this isn't a drill.[/quote] You're embarrassing. Remember in 2020 when oil was negative $30 a barrel? Your hero Biden and the EU just put massive oil and gas sanctions on Russia. Less product equal higher prices . Now India is buying oil in huge quantities from Russia, as the middle man, and the EU now has to go to India to buy at higher prices. Do you understand economics? Anyone with brain bought a schit ton of oil stocks in 2020 and held them., I smile when I fill up now. Thanks Joey and idiotic Dems

Now with even more aplomb

It was breadlines and a starving population which brought about the dissolution of the USSR.
Same might be said of the French Revolution, though I am no expert on French History.
While hunger has long been used as a weapon, it seldom results in unification of "The People" behind the standing gov't which brought it about.
As Yamamoto declared, "I am afraid we have only just awakened a sleeping giant." So shall the Socialists learn when American parents start hearing their children cry from hunger.
But hey, there's a bright side. Real starvation in America will cure our excess immigration problem. People will be moving South by the multitudes. JFC. It wasn't bread lines and starvation

I saw a guy selling baby formula out of the bed of a pickup in Mena, Arkansas today. And Russian stores are fully stocked with food and baby formula now. Hmmm What does that mean?

The Manchurian candidate ruling from the basement and his handlers want inflation, economic collapse and food shortages to push their economic reset.

That's what I asked, mustard, mustard?
Yep. I used to hunt with a landowner near Medicine Lake that grew Mustard. He trucked it to Great Falls to sell it.

Not DU, but, my mid-60yr old neighbor who spent ~40yrs "on the floor" at a large manufacturer told me a couple of weeks ago: "The prices of everything going up are because most CEO's are buddies w/Trump and they want to make the economy/inflation look bad for Biden so Trump can be re-elected in 2024." That's what folks who voted for Biden listen to, believe, and parrot.

Oil companies are making huge profits right now. A lot of people complaining about it but forget that just over 2 yrs. ago I payed 96 cents a gallon and 52 cents was tax. I did a lot of driving that summer. This summer, not so much. I have never been this concerned since Obama won the 1st election. There is something terribly wrong , to the point that it has to be being done on purpose. If the government can create a shortage, they get to pick who gets to eat, and that won't be the conservatives, the gun owners or the christians. Most folks do not look at oil companies annual capital spend. I do as I was once one spending it. https://www.statista.com/statistics/561546/shell-capital-expenditure/
Conduct is the best proof of character.
