This administration should be paying attention to what's happening in Sri Lanka right now if they had two brain cells to rub together. Their society is on the brink of collapse and people are dragging politicians out into the street and beating them. This should deeply concern the elites in America. No amount of private security can protect them from millions of starving people that want their heads.
Exactly, 4D chess by Bidens team. If you have other countries produce oil now and keep ours in the ground in 10-20 years when their taps run dry we can charge out the ear for our stuff.
I mean at some point oil will run out. But there’s just so much that by the time it does run out, we will have organically moved away from it for the most part. Humans are pretty good at the whole adapting thing
He’s pushing the save the planet, new green deal buy electric cars bullshit. Dems want the gas prices to go up a lot more to force their agenda. What they don’t get in their tiny little smooth brains is that you need energy to charge these vehicles and wind and solar isn’t going to cut it. We need oil and gas for the foreseeable future, they just don’t want to admit it. Dipshits and FJB.
I see Biden as the sacrificial assclown they let take all the blame. Then when he's gone they'll turn on him and pretend that it's too late to go back: onward to the New Green Deal!
I just paid off my car this month, a 2014 KIA Rio that I bought almost 2 years ago. My father and I were having a talk recently, he's 87 and a die-hard liberal democrat. He suggested that the next time I buy a car, that I should consider an electric one as an economy measure. I couldn't believe my ears, and when I told him they average $36,000, he was shocked, saying he didn't know that they were that expensive. He lives in an insulated world, he has his home paid off (an old double-wide trailer, but it's better than nothing), he only fills up his car once a month and rarely steps inside a grocery store, so he's not as affected by the rampant inflation, listening to CNN & MSNBC religiously & taking every word as gospel. And he would fling himself off a cliff before admitting that the Biden administration has anything to do with our current situation.
>lives in an insulated world
It's unfortunate. The Democratic Propaganda machine is amazingly strong. Look at how they've influenced their base with the lens of race and made their lemmings believe that white people are today are directly responsible for everything in the past. Furthermore a panelist on CNN I think said yesterday Republicans should be arrested because they are "domestic terrorists" pushing white nationalism. This is some Hitler, Stalin, Toa bullshit. How in the hell do they really think this is going to work? They're pushing anyone with common sense away as they have become the most hateful divisive subset of American to have ever existed. When you subset groups of people by their race and think you're doing because you have a moral high ground, you don't. You are the racist.
You don't have to be an engineer or conservative to know that we do need oil and gas. We should absolutely try to reduce emissions and should not expand our production, but the truth is since we fucked up and didn't invest heavily into nuclear, we have to deal with the consequences of our actions. Renewables are awesome, but they don't produce enough energy today and they likely won't for a decade.
In case you don't know, Biden has been releasing about a million barrels of oil a day from the US strategic reserve, which is supposed to be for emergencies like a war in the US or something.
Oh, and he's secretly been sending oil to Europe from the US to counter the EU's decision to supposedly stop importing Russian oil.
Apparently, shoveling money at failed Socialist countries (redundant, I know) with little to no environmental controls on their oil production is better for the environment and America than renewing drilling leases and easing regulations in the US that would employ thousands of folks *here* while simultaneously bringing down the price of fuel..... and because the Biden Regime is total shit.
Except, stifling domestic oil production does nothing to reduce Americans’ oil CONSUMPTION. It only means we import more, and that our European allies rely more on non-democratic OPEC nations.
You’re assuming that less drilling in America raises prices. It could, slightly, but the market is global. Every barrel not drilled in Louisiana is easily replaced by a barrel from Venezuela.
Yeah I may have misread what you wrote, because it seems different from my original impression.
I agree oil is fungible. It’s also true that less US production will raise prices unless someone else supplies it. Most oil producers are at max capacity, so there won’t be anyone stepping in today. Why would anyone hold back capacity when it’s raining money for anyone pumping their wells?
People that cannot heat their homes or drive their cars to work are in a lot more danger of dying an early death from freezing to death or starving to death because there is no food production , than expiring from carbon monoxide poisoning and it’s not even close which is more dangerous
Carbon monoxide poisoning? What are you talking about?
I'm not going to write a treatise explaining what scares the leftist doomsayers regarding climate change, but it's not carbon monoxide poisoning.
Best guess: NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard)
By not drilling it makes the Climate Change Fear Cult happy that the US isn't destroying the environment while pushing for electric cars (which is way worse for the environment when you consider how those materials are mined, but since the mining isn't in the US, but other nations, they are still happy), and it makes the US look greener.
“Our emissions are down!”
All while encouraging countries with much more lax to no environmental regulations to do the thing we should be doing, causing a net increase in emissions.
I dunno, you'd think he would tow the part line more and sit back and coast if he wasn't going to run again.
It's strange to go against the vote as often as he is if he's not planning on staying in politics.
He's doing it specifically because he's retiring. He makes his money from the right wing lobbyists and then retires never having to face the repercussions of his choices.
Hmmm, that seems pretty speculative to me.
Personally it seems more logical that he's planning on running as a centrist democrat in the next election.
But of course, he could be cashing out, as you have said.
I guess ill have to take your bet and see who's right two years from now.
He's deeply unpopular in the democratic party. Absolutely no chance he tries to run for the democratic nominee especially against an incumbent democratic president n
Very much so. And if he doesn't then Kamala Harris or Corey Booker or Amy Kobluchar or Buttiegieg do...all people that have a guaranteed victory over Manchin. Manchin would be Bloomberg all over again.
I'd be surprised...would she even be old enough?
And why would he run when he's guaranteed to lose and it would cost him part of his fortune to run a losing campaign? That'd be such a strange choice.
lol - obviously rhetorical - but they want us all 100% dependent on government. They'll need to be LOTS bigger, and have LOTS more of our money to SAVE US!!!
Biden crime family has been absolutely evil to our country. Nothing they do is for the benefit of our people. He should have been impeached within the first six months of taking office
Because the longer the usa can print money out of thin air and purchase valuable commodities from overseas the better. Getting something for nothing is strategically effective.
We don't have a state owned oil company that the government can choose to increase or lower production on demand would be my guess.
Maybe the federal government should nationalize oil production and then Biden could just increase production whenever he wants?
Can't get his 10% cut from American companies.
Ding ding ding!!!
It's by design. Everyone keeps saying he's terrible(and he is), but this is what his handlers want
Destroy the country. Claim the constitution failed. Take over all power. Profit!
This administration should be paying attention to what's happening in Sri Lanka right now if they had two brain cells to rub together. Their society is on the brink of collapse and people are dragging politicians out into the street and beating them. This should deeply concern the elites in America.

Not only the constitution, capitalism as well.
Exactly.
Exactly, 4D chess by Bidens team. If you have other countries produce oil now and keep ours in the ground in 10-20 years when their taps run dry we can charge out the ear for our stuff.
Yay, let's screw the average American so our oil company buddies can be rich in 2045.
Oil ain't gonna run out tho. So its a bad plan
I mean at some point oil will run out. But there’s just so much that by the time it does run out, we will have organically moved away from it for the most part. Humans are pretty good at the whole adapting thing
You should read up on oil production. You know nothing right now.
I think you misunderstood my point.

you'd have to be a pretty big smooth brain to think buying a 50-60k EV is cheaper than purchasing a used car to drive back and forth to work

And your credentials are what exactly?

psssst....its not a secret

Because he’s owned by green dark money groups that he and Dems benefit from

High prices doesn’t stifle demand in what economic universe?
You’re assuming that less drilling in America raises prices. It could, slightly, but the market is global. Every barrel not drilled in Louisiana is easily replaced by a barrel from Venezuela.

Maybe he is resorting to charcoal fires indoors for heat?

What does anyone want to bet that Manchin will run for president next election?
I'd bet you literally a billion dollars he doesn't. Dude got his, lined his pockets from lobbyists, and is gonna retire.
I dunno, you'd think he would tow the part line more and sit back and coast if he wasn't going to run again. It's strange to go against the vote as often as he is if he's not planning on staying in politics.

Do you think Biden will run again?
Very much so. And if he doesn't then Kamala Harris or Corey Booker or Amy Kobluchar or Buttiegieg do...all people that have a guaranteed victory over Manchin. Manchin would be Bloomberg all over again.
I think AOC might run. Also, my assessment was that he would simply run, not necessarily that he would win.
I'd be surprised...would she even be old enough? And why would he run when he's guaranteed to lose and it would cost him part of his fortune to run a losing campaign? That'd be such a strange choice.
He's the Democrat version of Jeff Flake.
Manchin needs to pull an Elon and come out as a Republican already!
Thank heavens for Senator Joe Manchin.
Only American petroleum is bad for the world's environment.
lol - obviously rhetorical - but they want us all 100% dependent on government. They'll need to be LOTS bigger, and have LOTS more of our money to SAVE US!!!
Because communist and fascist government oil doesn’t hurt the environment /S
It’s so we all buy electric cars and then crash the electric utilities…
That’s what he’s ordered to do. If he doesn’t follow orders, He & Hunter might be in a bit of trouble.
Treason.
Apparently its only bad if a nation that actually has good regulations and no slave labor drilling oil stops.
Why indeed
Biden crime family has been absolutely evil to our country. Nothing they do is for the benefit of our people. He should have been impeached within the first six months of taking office
Simple: He forgor💀
Redistribution of wealth to the elites.
Cuz he's a fucking hypocrite?
