With rising gasoline prices once again threatening U.S. consumers — and Joe Biden’s approval ratings — the president is upping his attacks on domestic energy production. Most recently, the White House canceled oil and gas leases on hundreds of thousands of acres in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and extended protections against future drilling to millions more.
It is almost unimaginable. Voters give Joe Biden extremely low marks on his handling of the economy, and even lower grades on how he has dealt with inflation. Almost nothing hits consumers harder or makes them angrier than soaring gasoline prices. When Biden took office, the average price of regular gas was $2.39 per gallon; today it is $3.80 — almost 60 percent higher.

Unimaginable what 81,000,000 votes can cause huh Moe.
He’s dumber than Jimmy Carter. Is that even possible?
Rising prices are attacking me personally. What a brutal tyranny.
That giant suckin’ sound ya hear is Biden draining your wallet.
The President doesn’t have the authority to do this. A law was passed in 2017 authorizing the drilling. The oil producers should just ignore him and drill baby drill. What’s he going to do? Send in the drilling police?
Which is why OPEC cut them yesterday.
BTT
Jimmy Carter was not stupid, he was just way over his head.
Joe is evil and senile. He was chosen because he doesn’t know his head from his ass and can be pushed in any direction the marxists want him to go. He is a puppet.
Or paying $8.00 for a dozen eggs.
Thankfully I started raising Hens. 9 of them, 9 eggs a day.
While you are correct about this instance, there are numerous times when Biden attacked oil companies and drilling concerns for hate's sake.
Math is easy. COMEDY is hard.
Good comedy simply requires observation of daily life.
Great comedy simply requires a bit of embellishment in proper places, combined with vocal emphasis and facial expressions & body language.
Learned this in Second City Comedy School.

Well, of course there are. He has envirowhackos to placate.
Probably not hate. Probably doesn’t care much. He’s just securing support.
It doesn’t matter, usually. The world of oil is full of deception and delusion.
The most common manifestation of it is the comments or quotes from people about there being enormous amounts of oil in some place or another.
The word enormous gets said and the source walks away. If you grab him by the arm and ask how much, like with NPRA, he’ll angrily yell 600 million barrels!!! That’s right, 600 million barrels!
The US consumes 20 million bpd. The world about 100. So that 600 million is a month of supply. And then what?

The XSLX spreadsheet for about 70 years has been the Bible of oil and gas and coal. An hour with this will calibrate one’s brain about numbers.
