What is the Republican explanation as to why gas prices are so high even though their profit margins are so high?

[dblack]

How come trump was able to keep the price down?

Because he's a socialist?

Why do you think the President should control gas prices?

For instance, what makes it Biden’s fault they are high if that is the case? What did Biden do to make them high? Keep in mind these prices are high in other countries.

2 charts show Big Oil profits skyrocketing as prices at the pump rise

Oil companies are raking in the largest quarterly profits in a decade, raising concerns that the sector is using high gas prices to gouge customers.

President controls just about everything in this country, indirectly.

Should they?

If so, I need to get laid more. Biden should get on that.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The main duty of the US President is to keep gas prices low.

It's in the Constitution!

Agreed, but it is also not the duty of the president to unnecessarily make the cost of living unsustainable (a/k/a fuck the American people up the ass) for fairytales of renewable energy that is simply not available.

If a president gets out of the way and does no harm, he(she) has succeeded.

Profits and private property are EVIL!!!!! Government is our savior.

Go team!

To what extant are profits? Slavery, minimum wages, no benefits, no health insurance? CEO's making millions with tax free benefits? Without government regulations, rules and laws most of us would see dystopia - those like you(?) are anarchists.

Do they? Yes

Should they? Fuck NO!

But, when I am king, you're getting laid by lots of women (or men or whatever).

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

President Biden is doing all he can and people like you and all Republican Pols are roadblocking his efforts by words and deeds.

Doing all he can to do what?

They should not! Why did xiden interfere?

If you're seriously saying that "employees" are slaves, you've already jumped the shark. Shame you can't hang out with a real slave - you know, the whips and chains kind? They might laugh at you for comparing their lot to "employees". Or, they might freak out and kill you for being such a douche.

I think he got out of the way.

Love him or hate him, he did not interfere in energy to deliberately make fossil fuels unsustainable so "green" energy can barely compete.

The issue should be decided, squarely, on whether or not such measures are needed to protect the environment. If they're needed, fuck gas prices. If they're not needed, fuck gas prices.

All the populist nonsense, where we appeal to idiotic trivialities, doesn't serve us well. It serves the interests of myopic partisans pretty well though.

Fuck them.

Those are words and are a very small percentage to reality. Maybe 10% of why gasoline is off the charts expensive.

Yep, that's what fricken Dems do, they lie through their damn teeth to cover up reality. And you ass-wipes buy into the lie....go figure.

You gotta learn to grab em by the pussy. Just be careful cause these days it's hard to tell which ones have a pussy, sometimes.

Slaves were fed and housed. Not all were suffering "whips and chains" so your comment is foolish and an example of your incapable of writing a logical rebuttal.

Being a wage slave means you are stuck doing a job solely for the money. You can’t quit, because leaving would have terrible consequences for you and your family. For example, in America, leaving your job not only means a loss of income but can also mean losing your healthcare coverage as well.

This seems inhumane. For many wage slaves, leaving a job puts them one broken arm away from bankruptcy, so they stay put, whether they like it or not.

During the pandemic, many workers, like meat-packers, have little choice but to put themselves at increased risk of catching the virus while on the job. Tens of millions of Americans (and likely billions worldwide) are trapped doing jobs they hate but can’t leave.

Are You a Wage Slave?

Being a wage slave means being stuck doing a job solely for the money. You can't quit without terrible consequences. Is there hope of freedom?

Well shit. I didn't realize you were actually advocating for slavery. But it does kind of fit with the whole socialism/leftist thing. We don't mind being slaves, as long as we're well cared for!

You're not only *^^(^%, you are dishonest. My post was cut short by you, and then you couldn't admit your post was all crap.

You commies think exchanging labor for profit is slavery. We don't need to discuss anything further until you correct that fundamental error in your fucked up thought process.

 

[whitehall]

Why does the left continue to act as if they lost the freaking election? Repubs don't have to explain it. Democrats have to explain why Biden's energy policy has caused gas pump prices to soar.

That's probably why the fools want to empty the prisons.
