Are Gasoline Prices Being Pushed Higher On Purpose?
2021-11-19
[Economic Collapse] Is it just a “coincidence” that gasoline prices have absolutely exploded since Joe Biden took office? The hatred that many on the left have for traditional forms of energy is well known. Many of them are entirely convinced that the changes that are happening to our climate can be reversed if we can just transition away from traditional forms of energy. So on the left there is a lot of interest in finding ways to create incentives for people to use “cleaner” forms of energy instead of “dirtier” forms of energy. For example, the left would love to see all of us driving around in electric vehicles, and one way to accelerate that transition would be to dramatically raise the price of gasoline. Interestingly, that is precisely what is happening right now. In fact, the average price of a gallon of gasoline just hit another all-time high in California…

#4  As I understand it, we have started selling oil from our SPR to Asia --- sounds like 'on purpose' to me.

#3  Market forces can be tricky to interpret, but consider that the massive price spikes have dampened demand and the lagging indicator of tiny price reductions might be reflecting both big-oil attempts to offload building supply and score some media/political relief?
Make no mistake, the political agenda for the Marxists remains to destroy the remnants of capitalism, genuine American independence and the traditional American economy to produce a client state for the Middle Kingdom, feeding it raw materials, agriculture, and a kowtowing market for cheap manufactured goods with short economic life.

#2  They know that undoing the 'executive orders' they put in effect in January would reduce cost, but they refuse. Yes, its being done intentionally.

Surprisingly we are seeing a DROP leading up to Black WOKE Friday Shopping, the day after Thanksgiving 1619 day.

Seriously
we have dropped from 3.21 to 3.09 in my area.
SAMS Club is down from 3.12 to 2.81 here.

I guess even Socialcrats know they need 2022 Election donations and companies need to make $$$$$ in order to donate.
