I hate to think what Diesel costs.
Wonder how much a trucker pays for a full tank?
Ya reckon that will filter down to what we pay for the stuff being hauled?
Inflation is just getting started.
Gee I wish Biden hadn't shut down all the production and pipelines and such. What a dick.

Yeah, prices are sure to rise.
Let's just hope that these high fuel prices
wake up some of our legislators into passing some
green, renewable energy legislation.

Yes that will fix everything, while the rest of America starves in the meantime.
I think in another year most of us will be scratching and pecking around for ways to avoid shortages and huge prices on essentials, while trying to maintain a decent standard of living on paychecks that aren't keeping up with costs.
A lot of Americans who used to be middle-class are already there.

Well, if you're just noticing the widening
gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots,'
you haven't been paying attention.

Exxon isn't a mom and pop grocery store.
5 billion for a worldwide oil conglomerate isn't all that much.
A billion dollars isn't what it used to be.

BIDEN has nothing to do with oil production.
It's called 'PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.'
.........hello?.......anyone home?

That's PROFIT, NOT GROSS, for one quarter(2022).
Anyway, for a guy complaining about
high energy prices, you seem unconcerned that, while , as you
pointed out, regular folks are struggling with high pump prices,
the oil companies are posting record profits. 😛

It all boils down to the laws of supply and demand.
WHO is responsible for the supply of home-grown USA oil decreasing?

The oil companies, of course.
You're gonna' blame BIDEN,
although he has nothing, at all, to do with oil production.
What suggestions DO YOU HAVE?

I'm speechless.
So you claim Biden had nothing to do with cutting down domestic oil production?
Wow.
Long Live Big Brother.
The Ministry of Plenty has a position for you.

You keep running your neck...Talk is cheap.
SHOW ME WHERE BIDEN CUT OIL PRODUCTION.
https://marketrealist.com/p/did-biden-shut-us-oil-production/
Fact is, to lower prices, he released oil from our petroleum reserves.

the infrastructure is not in place even if people could afford a battery powered short range vehicle.

Nothing viable is in the near future…if the US were completely electric it would only account for 15% of the worlds polution…keep giving your money and support to these crooks

The cost to make something plentiful and the cost to get scarce things are the
same. What you are not seeing, I guess, because you don't think these things
through, you simply repeat what the talking heads tell you is that if you can only
produce a small quantity and it is rare, so everyone has to pay more for it, your
profits will go up, supply and demand. So cutting off the ability to get more
products onto the market makes the product worth more, and the cost of
producing it means you will make more money for what little you produce. Make
it readily available in vast quantities, and its price will decrease. The leadership of
this country has their heads somewhere that, in the normal course of life, should
have been autonomically impossible.
