If Biden hadn't killed all the pipelines that transport oil to be turned into natural gas, if Biden didn't make clear that there would be no new drilling in the US. If Biden didn't reject all new oil leases. Gas would not be 5 dollars a gallon by me.
Biden has made it clear he regards the fossil fuel industry as evil and will not support any investment in it. Sad to say without investment no new oil gets produced and since that makes demand outstrip supply the price goes up. Biden isn't responsible for the entire increase in gas prices, but he and the democratic party are responsible for a pretty good chunk of it.
TBH, given your beliefs you should be fucking trilled about oil prices right now.
The oil barons are making record profits off of the average American for their own individual gain, as you believe they rightfully should, because if you didn't then that'd mean supporting sOcIaLiSm.
So, you see Ethel, the system is working exactly as you want it to, and you can't fucking complain because that goes against your ideologies of fiscal conservatism and rugged individualism.
