Whoa! 7th straight week of jobless claims as last week’s were the lowest since the start of the pandemic. So much losing. Go Brandon go!
And did you see President Biden go faaaaast in that GM electric vehicle that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds? He’s such a weak loser.
FJB. Everyone knows that diesel is the future.
Coal fired boiler cars are the future, duh!
My point is that Biden is driving and hyping up electric vehicles which most people could never afford. Meanwhile, gas prices are through the roof. Electric vehicles may be the future but most people still rely on gasoline and the rising price of gasoline must be addressed and fixed.
how much control does any president have over gas prices?
JB must have loved Bill Clinton. Gallon of gas was under a dollar during the late nineties. Something tells he didn't love Bill Clinton though...
I'd pick Bill Clinton over Obama or Biden. Biden is weak and that is clear to the rest of the world. That doesn't make gas prices go up or down but gas is a global issue and having a weak leader does not do us any good. I don't know if you knew this or not but I'm not the only one hurting from high gas prices.
Of course we need to look to the future but the price of electric vehicles are not going to be affordable for many more years to come.

Oil is expensive because OPEC is still not pumping at pre-pandemic levels, let alone enough to meet the high demand from all the pent up projects, construction, goods, etc. They have started but they are slow playing it. They know 82 per barrel is unsustainable but they have no interest in getting it to $60 anytime too soon. There's nothing anyone can do to strong arm the cartel.
Biden has two levers, the strategic reserve and policy. Tapping the reserve (which evidently they are considering) would provide immediate relief. But it's not easy decision. It's rarely done, maybe once or twice in our lifetime. It's there for disasters and such, or like the energy crisis in the 70's. We are not at that level. I don't know that I support that or not right now.
The second option is some policy. And in the new infrastructure bill, there are several billion allocated to the states to help low income pay energy bills this winter. Will this help middle class people? No, probably not directly.
So this is not an easy problem and there is no easy solution. The supply chains need to restart in full, but the oil prices have to come down to abate inflation. it's that simple.

Dude....the president does not control gas prices. That is the point. Gas prices rose during Trump's presidency too. Something tells me you did not say anything about it. What do you want the president to do to lower your gas prices?
Also weak? lol Trump was notorious for being afraid to fire people in person. Then of course he's still whining about his loss a full year later. Doesn't get any weaker than that.
trump was by far the weakest POS that office has ever seen. calling biden weak when he's getting shit done is laughable. i don't see other world leaders gathering together and laughing at him. or laughing at him at a world conference. gimme a break.

I think it's funny when people complain about gas prices. From what I've noticed, it's only when a democrat is in office, at least in the last 20 years. Prices have fluctuated between $2 - $4 dollars a gallon pretty consistently ever since we invaded the middle east under GWB. Maybe complain about that instead.
Edit: Maybe if Biden did a photo op groping a mystical orb the cartel would give us a holiday discount.

Dude, give me a break. That's not laughing at Biden.
And BTW, how can you hammer Biden for inflation and blame it on him, when you don't understand the causes or potential solutions? That shows that you're just trying to score political points and that's exactly what's fucking wrong with this country today. Everyone needs to stop being part of the problem. We all need to do our part.

In short, contrary to his campaign promises, by reducing the value of
money, Biden has inflicted a huge new tax on all Americans, which falls
most harshly on the poor and middle class. Of course, the stock market,
which adjusts more quickly to inflation, has risen in nominal terms,
meaning that those apparent gains are not actually “real” dollars but,
rather, inflated dollars with which you can buy less. Over time, the
economic consequences of overspending and inflation will lead to
political consequences and the Fed will be forced to act — i.e., raise
interest rates.
ADVERTISEMENT
That, in turn, will lead to recession, rising unemployment and further social hardship. Compounding all of this is Biden’s sacrifice of America’s energy independence, putting the country again at the mercy of foreign oil producers. To get an idea of where America is headed, look no further than the economic collapse that happened under Jimmy Carter, the deepest and longest-lasting recession in the modern era.

Well, people that aren't happy with him over gas prices probably didn't vote for him, won't vote for him and never will no matter what policy issues get addressed that he can control. He is far from perfect, but we're also not in some free fall economically. People are doing so well they are quitting jobs and making different choices based on what's important to them. Bottom line is, the power is in the hands of the employee more so than it has been on decades. Employers and their business practices need to adjust or they aren't going to survive.

So are you predicting a recession? Is that why you posted someone else's thoughts, via this opinion piece?
GDP Forecasts right are at 3.9 for this quarter and over 4% next year. When do you think this recession will hit?
Whoa! 7th straight week of jobless claims as last week’s were the lowest since the start of the pandemic. So much losing. Go Brandon go!
And did you see President Biden go faaaaast in that GM electric vehicle that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds? He’s such a weak loser.
FJB. Everyone knows that diesel is the future.
Coal fired boiler cars are the future, duh!
My point is that Biden is driving and hyping up electric vehicles which most people could never afford. Meanwhile, gas prices are through the roof. Electric vehicles may be the future but most people still rely on gasoline and the rising price of gasoline must be addressed and fixed.
Oil is expensive because OPEC is still not pumping at pre-pandemic levels, let alone enough to meet the high demand from all the pent up projects, construction, goods, etc. They have started but they are slow playing it. They know 82 per barrel is unsustainable but they have no interest in getting it to $60 anytime too soon. There's nothing anyone can do to strong arm the cartel.
Biden has two levers, the strategic reserve and policy. Tapping the reserve (which evidently they are considering) would provide immediate relief. But it's not easy decision. It's rarely done, maybe once or twice in our lifetime. It's there for disasters and such, or like the energy crisis in the 70's. We are not at that level. I don't know that I support that or not right now.
The second option is some policy. And in the new infrastructure bill, there are several billion allocated to the states to help low income pay energy bills this winter. Will this help middle class people? No, probably not directly.
So this is not an easy problem and there is no easy solution. The supply chains need to restart in full, but the oil prices have to come down to abate inflation. it's that simple.
My repub friends said that since Biden has took office oil production is down in this country because Biden wants more oil from opec. Any truth to that? Were we energy independent under trump as they say? If so what happened?
Did you see where the container backlog at the ports is easing? Wow, go Brandon go!
The backlog of containers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach appears to be easing, days before new fees are set to begin for shipping companies responsible for containers clogging the docks.
The number of containers that have been dwelling on the docks in Los Angeles and Long Beach for at least nine days has fallen over 20% in a week— a “promising sign” that recent actions are helping with port congestion, the White House said Wednesday.

No we weren't energy independent. That's crazy talk. They think Biden has disassembled a private sector industry like energy in the last 10 months?? Are they on crack? Drilling in the US has actually increased this year. We are fracking heavy and you can't frack when oil is less than around 40 a barrel. That's the shut down price.

So this is not an easy problem and there is no easy solution. The supply chains need to restart in full, but the oil prices have to come down to abate inflation. it's that simple.
My repub friends said that since Biden has took office oil production is down in this country because Biden wants more oil from opec. Any truth to that? Were we energy independent under trump as they say? If so what happened?
No we weren't energy independent. That's crazy talk. They think Biden has disassembled a private sector industry like energy in the last 10 months?? Are they on crack? Drilling in the US has actually increased this year. We are fracking heavy and you can't frack when oil is less than around 40 a barrel. That's the shut down price.
Oh yeah I hear all the time we were energy independent under Trump and now Biden wants more oil from opec which in turns shuts down us refineries. This of course drives up the cost of oil since opec controls the prices.
trump was by far the weakest POS that office has ever seen. calling biden weak when he's getting shit done is laughable. i don't see other world leaders gathering together and laughing at him. or laughing at him at a world conference. gimme a break.
There's some proof of world leaders laughing at Biden and his usual gaffes. Gimme a break.
Lol...looks like a group of friends sharing a laugh to me. Here is Trump literally being laughed at on the national stage at the UN https://youtu.be/-z4y8OJxlK8
I apologize. I thought this thread was about Biden, not Trump.
You can talk Biden up all day long but the American people aren't happy with him and that is getting worse day by day.
Well, people that aren't happy with him over gas prices probably didn't vote for him, won't vote for him and never will no matter what policy issues get addressed that he can control. He is far from perfect, but we're also not in some free fall economically. People are doing so well they are quitting jobs and making different choices based on what's important to them. Bottom line is, the power is in the hands of the employee more so than it has been on decades. Employers and their business practices need to adjust or they aren't going to survive.
Covid can't go away if anti maskers and anti vaxxers won't do their part. The Afghanistan withdrawal had a rough start, but ultimately we're finally out of there, inflation is related to the supply issues and jobs are based on what I previously pointed out. Maybe if Biden were a dictator and democrats banded together to push through their policies things would be different and people would have other things to complain about.
Joe is old as fuck and past his prime, but at least he's not a raging narcissist spouting lies and spreading misinformation daily.

Biden has two levers, the strategic reserve and policy. Tapping the reserve (which evidently they are considering) would provide immediate relief. But it's not easy decision. It's rarely done, maybe once or twice in our lifetime. It's there for disasters and such, or like the energy crisis in the 70's. We are not at that level. I don't know that I support that or not right now.

Also weak? lol Trump was notorious for being afraid to fire people in person. Then of course he's still whining about his loss a full year later. Doesn't get any weaker than that.

Edit: Maybe if Biden did a photo op groping a mystical orb the cartel would give us a holiday discount.
And BTW, how can you hammer Biden for inflation and blame it on him, when you don't understand the causes or potential solutions? That shows that you're just trying to score political points and that's exactly what's fucking wrong with this country today. Everyone needs to stop being part of the problem. We all need to do our part.
In short, contrary to his campaign promises, by reducing the value of money, Biden has inflicted a huge new tax on all Americans, which falls most harshly on the poor and middle class. Of course, the stock market, which adjusts more quickly to inflation, has risen in nominal terms, meaning that those apparent gains are not actually “real” dollars but, rather, inflated dollars with which you can buy less. Over time, the economic consequences of overspending and inflation will lead to political consequences and the Fed will be forced to act — i.e., raise interest rates.
That, in turn, will lead to recession, rising unemployment and further social hardship. Compounding all of this is Biden’s sacrifice of America’s energy independence, putting the country again at the mercy of foreign oil producers. To get an idea of where America is headed, look no further than the economic collapse that happened under Jimmy Carter, the deepest and longest-lasting recession in the modern era.

Also, I guess you're just not gonna answer the question about what the president can do about gas prices? And can you tell us why you did not come here and complain about gas prices rising during Trump's term? lol

GDP Forecasts right are at 3.9 for this quarter and over 4% next year. When do you think this recession will hit?
The backlog of containers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach appears to be easing, days before new fees are set to begin for shipping companies responsible for containers clogging the docks.
The number of containers that have been dwelling on the docks in Los Angeles and Long Beach for at least nine days has fallen over 20% in a week— a “promising sign” that recent actions are helping with port congestion, the White House said Wednesday.

what I read the US has always been a net importer of petroleum products except briefly in 2020.
The NBC News poll comes after a rough summer and early fall for the first-year president, as he’s faced a new surge of coronavirus cases and deaths, fallout from the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, rising inflation, disappointing jobs numbers and Democratic infighting over Biden’s legislative agenda.
