The right is rite. Joe and mostly the democrats do have some faults in the gas price situation and inflation.

The failure to appoint a special prosecutor to wage a rigorous criminal racketeering investigation on big oil executives and the top 20 shareholders of big oil. Including civil asset forfeiture so commonly used against any ordinary people law enforcement wants to frivolously acuse of being drug dealers to seize cash and property from.

The failure of the USDOJ to wage the biggest antitrust crackdown in history on fortune 500 companies caught up in monopolistic trusts with 1980 AT&T style break-ups which is what antitrust laws are ment for.

That is why price gouging is a wide spread problem.

So you think 'The Right' is about bringing down oil executives? Really? Come on now.
And yeah. They yell about inflation and gas prices and blame Biden because they're trained to do that. I'd bet big that nine out of ten don't know how global oil prices are set. Because there's nothing else except the U.S. in their minds. And inflation? Yeah. Good luck with explaining how that works to them.
Side note. There's roughly 120 countries in the world that pay more at the pump than the U.S.. Just to toss that out there.

IKR? Trump was on the case, and when Biden was elected, he cancelled the effort.

I'll pass this legislation along to the IRS or something. I'm sure they will be glad for the very simple solution.

Yeah thats fair. I really dont think a republican administration would do any better though.

Republicans have had chances to do anything they wanted and havent done shit.

Same as democrats.

This isnt a party problem it is systemic corruption problem and until we stop pointing fingers and address it as such it wont ever get better.

I entered this post with my metaphorical sleeves rolled up, ready for a fight.

You are, as it turns out, correct.

@CorvusBlackthorne Let me get this straight. Gas was $1.82 under President Trump, and therefore profits were low, right. Gas is now $4.42 under sippy-cup, and profits are high, right? Seems to me the demonocrats conspired with the gas companies to increase gas companies profits, so if you imagine the demonocrats will do anything to investigate the one-year increase in profits at the expense of the gas companies or the stock market you are nuttier than a fruit cake
