Republicans said they believe they can use the issue to motivate their base and persuade undecided and independent voters to cast ballots for GOP candidates. Some Democrats said they see a more sinister strategy reminiscent of past elections, involving racial stereotypes and playing on voters’ worst instincts.
With gas prices down, Republicans are looking to gin up fear of blacks

Gas used to be 2 dollars a gallon.

Ya and if your Aunt had nuts she’d be your Uncle. What’s your point?
Gas is up.
Correction: artificially lower

Thank god gas is over 3 dollars. Woulda been hard for Democrats to win in November if it was still 2 dollars.

@ILikePie5
Yep— the market has been pricing in a recession for awhile now, plus Biden’s release of the SPR. These are temporary shocks, IMO. As wintertime sets in, the reality of fossil fuel demand will rear its ugly head again, and oil will resume a steady climb, I believe…

After November, America can get fucked for another 2 years.

plus Biden’s release of the SPR.
That may account for a few pennies on the price of gas.
The main causes for high gas prices are:
Constrained supply of oil due to oil companies slowing their drilling under the pressure of stock holders to boost profits and dividend payments.
Constrained refining capacity. We have had two major refineries in Philadelphia and Houston shut down because the long term prospects for gasoline are dim.
The war in Ukraine has caused the global market to put limits on Russian oil purchases.

Roosevelt sees an article about high costs and low margins for closing Texas refineries, and then calls that "corporate greed"
Democrats don't give a shit about costs to the producers, they only care about making excuses for high prices. As if all manufactured shit just grows on trees organically and you don't even need to collect it.

I was talking about the downward pressure on prices, not upward.

If the Republicans take the House and Senate in November, Americans ARE fucked for the next two years.

That’s a lie.
So tell me why Biden is releasing oil from the SPR, which btw, Donald Trump filled.

Good, now you know Republicans are just as shit as the Democrats. More crony government and more problems for the little guy.

Gas used to be 2 dollars a gallon.
Gas used to be a quarter a gallon.
America used to be less diverse.
The Republican party used stand for something.
White Supremacists used to be losers, now they are, well, they are still losers.

@Sidewalker
Thanks Biden.
Democrats used to care about liberty and free speech and used to get pissed when the politicians they voted for started working for ultra rich lobbyists.
Democrats once long ago didn't elect racist 80 year old segregationists that told people what to do based on the color of their skin.

@ILikePie5
The lie is releasing oil from the SPR artificially lowered the price of gas. It’s a drop in the bucket of the U S daily consumption.
Trump filled the SPR? That’s easy to do when you have 3% GDP growth and 16% unemployment

Oh ya, 7% GDP growth in 2021 and record low unemployment is so fucked.

2 consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP. Very likely we will have a 3rd as well since Biden thinks he can spend his way out of it with your tax dollars.
Americans love liars. They voted for one to the White House. I.e Trump. Trump lied before the UN. Bush lied about Iraq and WMD. JFK and LBJ lied about Vietnam. Clinton lied about sex with Lewinsky.

The Republicans said they will impeach Biden if they take control of Congress.
Obama might be the only clean modern president that America put in the White House.

2 weeks ago I bought a brand new Toyota Highlander from Irvine Toyota. They said it was only the fourth one they sold this year. Not because they don’t have buyers, but because it’s only the 4th one they received from the manufacturer. Is that the government’s fault or is that a failure of capitalism?
This is what is curbing GDP right now.
We are heading for a recession. I hope we all get over it with little pain.
Is that the government’s fault or is that a failure of capitalism?
Well let's see here. The government under the Crony Marxist Democrats just pledged to support the competitors of combustion vehicles to the tune of ...what was in that boondoggle "save da planet" bill...hundreds of billions of dollars?
How is Toyota supposed to compete with that kind of corruption of the free market? You already know the answer.

There is a problem with the supply chain. There is also a shortage of electronic chips which comes from Taiwan and China.
Bringing these products home by locally manufacturing them in America is not only a solution. It is good for the future economy and competitiveness.
