I'm sure some of it is outright gouging and greed but there is a real cost increase to producing anything right now. Everything is taking longer. Machines are breaking down in production facilities with no real timeline on replacement parts. People aren't showing up for work so the work isn't getting done on schedule. I'm seeing all this happening firsthand where I work (food production). I've been there 23 years and never seen anything like it. We've had to shut down production a few times recently for lack of staff. I've seen some places like Tim's and McDonald's closed for a day here and there lately due to "staff shortages". In the end, the companies and shareholders don't absorb these costs, it gets passed on to us. Add the price of fuel on top of that and we're heading for some tough times.

most if not all of that money is going in his pocket. he knows how to milk the teets!

Unfettered corporate greed at its best, but this is how capitalism is meant to work. Private enterprise all for the profit.

Today Biden either gets economic deal In the house or he crashes and burns Carter years weren’t so bad lol

I think some of you guys don't know what your talking about - your being pushed by your political views - under Trump the U.S.. was energy independent because he allowed drilling in places where it had been stopped - now there are all kind of restrictions on drilling and naturally less oil means higher prices - Trump was controlling our southern border where now it is a free passage to the U.S. - Trump cut taxes which brought companies back to the states with the resulting more jobs - I could go on and on - Trump was the best thing that happened to America since Ronald Regan - the stupid people didn't know when they had a good thing and put a baboon in the White House along with a punch of nitwits who don't have a clue how to run a country - the result is everything is falling apart - the stimulus package allowed people to quit work and now there is a shortage of goods - why work when you can get a along fine without it - I always said that what is needed is real hard times so people get back to basics and have their feet on the ground again - for too long people have been spoiled with the good life and spent their energy on stupid things like transgender issues, woke and racial issues - tearing down statues of people who had a hand in forming the country - this carbon tax is a joke and will ruin the whole economy of a country - unfortunately good people who voted for Trump will also have to bear the ills of what is going on but I think these people are the heart and soul of this country and have the fortitude to weather the hard times coming - let the hard times roll -

It is my understanding that the high US gas prices are the result of the Saudi/Russia price war, and the collapse of the US shale oil industry.
Now the demand is back, but the shale producers are still closed.
The US was actually oil-independent for a few years.

He has not caused a civil war which was where Trump and his supporters were heading to, not to mention his love of all dictators worldwide.

I would have thought that the Conservative supporters on here would be jumping for joy, they have been the biggest supporters of BIG OIL and getting their corporate donations, now the Oil Companies are awash in cash and boosting dividend's.
