Do you support Biden if so justify this!

If you support Biden and you support his policies have you figured out how much your support has cost you? Well let’s take fuel my truck has a 35 gallon tank I fill it up twice a week. Fuel is 2 dollars more per gallon because of the Executive order reversing Trump policies on oil and gas. That means I I buy about 60 gallons a week so that is $120.00 extra a week this is $6240.00 a year. If this goes for three years that is $18,720.00 in three years. This does not take into account food electric and rents going up also.

Now if he is re-elected you mite as well look at 40,000.00 down the drain. This could have been used to pay down college loans. A purchase of a house or an electric car.

Are we still doing this thing where we pretend the president has an oil price dial under his desk? Whatever, I don't know why I expected conservatives to learn about supply and demand over the course of the past 2 years or whatever. Oil prices have always been highly volatile, all the way through to the early 1900s. Someone takes a shit on the other side of the earth and suddenly, huge oil shock and we all get screwed at the oil pump. If we had adopted alternative electricity & efficient transport methods like biden wanted, the oil prices would barely even matter to regular people.

I don't even like Biden, but this is such a hacky argument that I really can't help but shoot it down.

@BlueVeins you're obviously uneducated about how natural gas works in oil production in the United States yes there is a definite impact from the Middle East. But before Biden took office and when he took office the United States was oil independent we did not import any oil. With him shutting down pipelines permits for new pipelines and permits for replacing old outdated pipelines this has caused the DraStic skyrocketing of fuel prices. Natural gas has never been imported to the United States and is now at close to $11. The highest natural gas it ever been before this president was $3.25 now this is how much it cost based on the British of measurement that gas is measured at. He also is going to cause major environmental impacts because some of those executive orders for oil and gas cease the replacement of older gas pipelines these gas pipelines leak quite a bit the newer ones would not leak as much. I work for an environmental company that actually goes out and inspects our inspections get turned over to the EPA. Go out and research what you're talking about before you speak.

Wrong already in the second sentence of your explanation. At this point, conservatives are so divorced from the objective reality of our economic landscape that I don't expect much better. Debunking all of the objectively false things you believe over and over again is such a fucking chore. Hell I had this image saved already from the other 1,000 republicans who've made this same bogus argument to me before you.
