Corporate greed wasn’t causing grocery bills going sky high Pre-Covid. Transportation costs (ie price of diesel) go up so do price of goods. Inflation and Fuels have driven everything up.

Right, the corporate greed of the oil companies leading to record profits for them is the problem.

Funny how we never had this problem with the previous administration 🤷‍♂️.

You do know oil/gas are traded on a global market correct? Price is determine by supply and demand.

Still doesn’t change the fact that the administration has blocked all these drilling sites on federally owned land. It’s all there in the article. Just because they’re backed by Koch doesn’t make it less true.

Here’s Joe Biden himself speaking to a crowd about ending fossil fuels. https://youtu.be/Slszva6kk90

You say president doesn’t determine oil and gas prices but yet Biden himself takes credit when they go down when we opened up our reserves. https://nypost.com/2022/08/17/energy-experts-push-back-as-white-house-takes-credit-for-falling-gas-prices/amp/
