It's hard to not find oneself full of contempt with the Biden White House, given its flatfooted response to soaring energy prices.
Nationwide average energy prices have shot up 70.63% since Joe took office back in January, going from $2.40 a gallon on Jan. 25, to $3.40 a gallon today, according to AAA data. In the eight western-most states in the union, plus Pennsylvania, the average goes as high as $4.71 a gallon. That comes on top of a record 69% rise in oil prices that occurred in the interim between Joe's "election" and the day Joe took office. That kind of pricing is known in markets as "anticipatory."
I think they do, but they don't care. They truly do not care. That is what happens when an American hating politician gets a secret third term, hiding behind a dementia patient.

Certainly they do. This is deliberate.

They all know exactly what is going on. Both the administration and Congress. So does the media. None of them are talking. They are 'saving the planet', getting rich, and destroying the United States. Fossil fuels bad! Also think all of this can be undone in under six months, but both the president and Congress need an overhaul.

My local station in TX has seen price drops to $2.74 since a high of $2.99 a few weeks ago. Oddly, not far up the road, another is charging $3.19, and has for weeks. So, the obvious is not to buy at the inflated price. Why the operator has his price so high is immaterial. There are choices.
Yesterday the news reported it would cost a driver $14 more on a hypothetical trip to Atlanta from Florida to visit grandma. So $28 more RT...and people are "jiggering" budgets. If things are that tight, perhaps they ought not be going, or grandma could subsidize. Then, her Thanksgiving dinner is up $10 over last year's bill. Not if you have a food bank to hand you a turkey and all the fixin's.

They are under the illusion that having all electric cars will negate the need for carbon fuels. The wind and sun ain't going to charge all these cars.

The Democrat goal since at least Obama is for energy prices to skyrocket. High gasoline prices are a feature of Biden's policies and not a result of ignorance.

Of course, Biden doesn't know. He doesn't even know where he is or to whom he is talking most of the time. The puppet master is pulling the strings. The Biden's are just going along for the ride and the perks. I blame Dr. Jill for most of this mess. She didn't stop this train before it ran off the track and she raised that evil Hunter Biden.

I'm with Curious1 (#2).
This is deliberate cutting off the energy supply to the USA,
Stopping the pipeline,
Stopping all oil leases on Federal lands,
'Embracing' the 'Global Warming' agenda,
Selling parts of the Permian oil fields in Texas to the Chinese.
Crak-boy Hunter's working to sell a huge American cobalt mine in Africa to a Chinese company.
Selling millions of barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to.....Asia.
This is not the actions of a bumbling fool.
This is the work of a hidden, EVIL crew, working behind the scenes, protected from view by their very own Hand Puppet.

The instructions in the bag of money instructed pappy poopy pants to reduce US petroleum production.
He is expert at following instructions included in the bags of money.

Absolutely #1. The fact that gas prices are soaring makes them smile, and with Obozo running things behind the scene, the economy will flatten just like it did when Obozo was the real president. What they are doing is exactly what an enemy would do if they didn't want to attack us using their military.

Monica, you have disappointed to the nth degree here.
Of course Biden's puppet masters know "why".
For you to deem it a bug, not a feature is most disconcerting.

I recall something known as The Keystone Pipeline that efficiently delivered Canadian crude. Some commie shut it down on his first day in office. FJB.

I do not really believe this, but the more I see the longer this Administration goes on the more it looks like they are trying to actually destroy the United States, not just break down its systems so that they can remake it into a Communist "utopia", but truly destroy it.

Traitor Joe hasn't a clue about anything.
His advisors, however, are INTENTIONALLY increasing fuel prices in order to force us to their hideous electric trash haulers.

We must remember they believe the system must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt. So it is not a choice which is first. They intend to destroy.
They must remember that the first to try and rebuild are always killed, frequently the second. It is only later when the most ruthless seize power that the "rebuild" begins, which means nothing, since the most powerful are far more stupid than their predecessors and simply kill to silence the criticism.
Similarly, the techies will never gain any more power then they have today, just a poorer life with no freedoms.
Now I understand how Brandon is going to pay back the Chinese the $10M he "owes" them, per the computer files. He is using the oil reserves and deliberately also depleting our ability to fight at sea when he is gone.
The President(s) are meeting up at Nantucket, with O'Biden using the help to come over to chat. Of course, Brandon was summoned to the Vineyard, but decorum and security required the airspace over Nanny only, not to pissour all the beautiful people going to Martha's.
This crew is easy to see.

What is really worrisome is that historically a rise in energy prices such as we are currently experiencing is the precursor to a recession about 6-12 months in the future. And with all the inflationary pressure created by all the funny money in circulation and it's Jimmy Carter 2.0. What was the expression? Stagflation?

They know why they have high gas prices. They want high gas prices. High gas prices are the only way the Green Deal works, if it is as or more expensive for gas than electric.

Basically, the Biden 'administration' is composed of a bunch of snarky know it all college punks, and SJW college profs all led by a doddering old fool who couldn't find his beloved Scranton on a map.
