Presidents don't have a great deal of influence over gasoline prices in the short term (unless you're president of Russia and you just invaded Ukraine).
Thank you, Nick. I am EXTREMELY sick of trying to explain to otherwise sane people that Presidents do not set gas prices -- unless, as you said, they're Putin. It's kind of like explaining that inflation is global right now. . . . I do hate that glazed look they get, don't you?
You know, there are some people who just can't CONNECT THE DOTS between high fuel costs & price increases in everything else. Anyway, rising gas prices are a good reason to invest in R & D for battery - powered autos, as well as solar & wind power. But alternative power has an obstacle in the US, & they know who they are.
God, Daniel, don't you hate it that we still need Manchin? If we can just pick up 2-3 (I can hope, can't I?) Senate seats in Nov., we can let him vote "no" on any damn thing he pleases, and still pass a law time to time.

I think we need at least 3, besides Manchin we have Sinema to deal with too.
True, but Sinema, crazy broad or not, did vote yes on the climate package, so there's that. Here's to hoping for 4, but being happy with 3!
That's like MTG saying yes to LGBTQ rights.
The enemies within..... How much did they get paid off ?
If there is a Hell, or Dante's Inferno, he has a place there. Been years since I last read Dante.
That makes perfect sense!
WHOOPS!
So true
Prices shoot up like a rocket and fall like a feather. Thanks Joe
Yup!
