The Oil Barons don't drill to serve the US public but to sell it to the highest bidder, on the global market too..

ok is nobody else going to talk about how hairy this mans nipples are? 😂😂😂😂😂
Didn't even touch on the futures market which aims to predict supply.
It’s not the president. Big companies do and opec. These companies drop prices when their favorite president is in office and raise when it’s not. It’s happening right in front of your faces and no one notices. Smh. It’s working as intended. Gives a false sense of the economy doing better when their favorite president is in charge.
Oligopoly
We wonder if ANYONE actually believes this claim.
The folks at Institute for Energy Research have identified 100 separate Biden executive orders, regulations, and laws that have impeded oil and gas production and raised prices at the pump. These range from killing pipelines, to expanding EPA regulations on oil and gas drilling and refining, to taking hundreds of thousands of acres of prime oil and gas lands on public lands and in areas like the Gulf of Mexico off-limits for drilling. Economist Casey Mulligan of the University of Chicago estimates that these policies have reduced oil and gas drilling by 2 to 3 million barrels a day. That increased production would bring gas prices down at the pump.
Perhaps none of these half-truths and outright fibs should be too surprising. What should we expect from the administration that first denied inflation, then said inflation was transitory, then claimed it was only a high-class problem? Biden has done another about-face, decrying inflation as bad but now it is Russia’s fault or greedy businesses, like meatpackers or oil companies and even mom-and-pop gas station owners.
Ok…. Let me translate….
Presidents control their administration. The administration controls policy. Policy controls regulations and taxes. Regulations and Taxes control price of gas. Price of gas affects the price of food…. And so forth…
Very well done!
alot resources in this planet yet wasting it creating money 😮💨
5:13…we import bc we don't use the oil we drill…there's the story behind why but yeah…
NO MORE BAILOUTS!! For ANY corporation and/other bank
Drill baby drill
We want Trumps $2 gas and 1% inflation and peace back
Well you're not necessarily correct.
You forgot the fact that presidents can make the price drop..
How is that ?
When you tax the hell out of oil!
The president controls that!
When you make it to where you can't dog for it in America.
The president controls that..
When you shut down pipelines.
The president controls that!
When you put massive restrictions and controls on refining .
That makes the oil prices go up..
The president controls that..
The whole idea of Independence..
Means we have the ability here in America to produce gasoline and dig for oil..
When you have a president that is at war with oil..
And consistently makes it difficult for them to dig and refine .. the laws of supply and demand my friend..
The price of oil goes up.
Which means the price of gasoline goes up..
And when the price of gasoline goes up.
Because of what the president is doing and his policies on oil .
That makes the price of everything go up..
Food building materials and anything you can think of..
Because everything gets there because of oil.. all the food at your grocery stores gets there from a truck that runs on oil… So yes the president does control the prices in a sense
So with the full video you are saying that the President of the US of A is deciding the gas prices.
Oil companies do not set the prices. Oil is a commodity. Presidential policies absolutely have effected oil prices.
Wait, I did that!!! Thanks Joe!!!
What are your thoughts on this….. "Biden" selling oil reserves to lower oil market prices.
https://youtu.be/9-q2PWkZKIA?si=onsoKQmV-KEYZXyZ
The second he says climate scychology he lost all credibility. But ill hear him out stay tuned for crap to keep you voting to stay poor learn your lesson 2024
I remember gas being under 2 dollars when President Trump was in office
They want trump back in so he ends climate change rules. If the U.S. would protest by staying home as often as possible for one week our reserves would back up lowering prices. If the oil companies do it again then make it a month. You and I have the power.
The war in Ukraine has much to do with how oil and gas comes from the east to weastern Europe.
It's either going the traditional way from Russia vs. sidestepping them, via Ukraine….
The base price for gasoline here is not going below $2.50. (Not without something akin to nuclear winter–or, a severe 30s-style deflation.)
Our aways well-beloved national petroleum industry uses American workers: The Saudis use PRC slave labor.
How dare you. It hurts to laugh and you're being funny.
I like your style.
But don’t we want them to stop drilling? It seems like record profit is due to seeming inelastic demand for gas.
how many great lakes worth of oil do you think humanity has consumed
Thank the Lord Jesus Christ we still have money for gas. It could be a lot worse
who still here in the distant future?
I really like the bits where you're a fast talking announcer guy
The US should shut down all of the oil companies, stop selling our gas overseas, and sell gas for cost.
Gas prices in the US are like the grain dole in ancient Rome.
Bidenomics hard at work
Trains would have an impact. Higher prices but reduced carbon emissions. Depending. But transportation by train is way more efficient when utilized.
We just gonna ignore the chest hair circles?
I just love it when people complain about gas prices when the top three best-selling vehicles are all big gas-guzzling, inefficient, and enormous 20-26 MPG trucks
Excellent!!!
The government and thier taxes
Oil is the component that is used to produce the very device this video is viewed. Our society cannot function without it you cannot produce what we use every day. Gas is a by product of refineries. So many key chemicals are derived from oil it is mind boggling. Yes wind mill blades can’t be made without oil. Good information. Thanks also, Biden stopping drilling rights and threatening oil companies with penalties results in oil companies not challenging the administration for fear of financial loss hence yup prices are up with less supply.
Note: in 2020 Trump replenished the old reserves at zero cost price as you reported only to have Biden dump the oil in the market selling to anyone including China! Why mid term elections. PS he will pay off your student loans for your vote Not!!!
I mean when we literally HAVE to drive to work we care a lot more about the price of gas than people in European countries the size of one of our states. Plus we just have less public transport infrastructure and what is there has safety issues
if you dont think an anti oil president will effect oil companies' willingness to grow, youre absolutely ignorant man. Otherwise good video mate
omg still relevant
Obidenomics at its core, the great reset is real. Green peace and the greed of the people in charge with no common sense. How about we open our oil and stop buying from other nations. Our fuel prices would go down and that's how gas prices work. Dont listen to the lies. Took 200 years to get to this therefore we need a 100 year plan to go green. Gfy
very confusing the. whole. video talks. about. the. price. of. gas. but is actually about the. price. of oil not gas! Germany now. buying expensive. LNG from the US who sabotaged Russia's NS2- THANKS GUYS
Politicians have no problem taking credit if the prices are low
