Obviously.

And that's why you are a spoiled brat who can't imagine (or at the very least is too ego-centric to care) others have it far worse than you and you've been "lucky" so far to get away with (artificially) lower(ed) gas prices for decades.

So we ran out of "care" for US people complaining about "high" gas prices, when they're still lower than our prices a decade ago.

So I'M the ego-centric one who doesn't care? Look at what you wrote!

I'm an advocate for lower energy prices for ALL my fellow Americans. Energy is the life blood of the worlds economy.


Of course you don't care that American's energy prices are going higher. You can't miss something you've never had.

You're wasting too much energy as is. I don't care for you not innovating enough to be more economical with the energy you got because it's so cheap you rather waste more than be more efficient with it.


Hello Japanese car industry.

That right there is the shittiest excuse not to speak up ever invented.

Don't complain that you are hungry, there are people starving in Africa.

Don't complain about how little money you have, there are people with no houses.

Don't complain about the government sticking Jupiter's Cock into everything you do, there are European countries that let their governments use them as slave labor.

Don't speak up about war, there are people actually there dying.

Don't say a word about marriage inequality, there are places where you can be killed just because you know someone who has a dog that came from the house of a man who shops at a store that sells crops from an American company that might have a homosexual employee.

Don't complain about taxes, Danishlanders shit money and their government wipes their asses.

Is it? What if you've been paying too little all this time? The amount of money you pay in fuel is excessively low. Complaining about it is like a kid not getting an ice cream for 5 cts and throwing a tantrum because he has to pay 10 cts now.

Meanwhile, we don't complain while paying 20 cts for the same ice cream for decades.

It's like those kids in a mall that want their candy and they want it now. It's ego-centrism at its best.

Guess what, supply and demand is a consequence of free trade. Deal with it maturely instead of complaining about it. You know where they keep oil prices artificially low? Argentina. A socialist state. They just nationalised YPF, apparently partially because Repsol refused to invest in YPF that was forced to sell oil under cost price to keep the Argentinian economy going.


Yay for Republicans acting like actual extreme socialists and wanting to keep oil prices low despite of market prices rising?

The main reason fuel prices rise in the US is inflation. Now tell me I can't complain about that.

Sure, potential Iran conflict potentially blocking the straight of Hormuz or war in the oil region of the world has nothing to do with oil price instability either.

Not in the US typically.

This is absolutely correct.

Here's my oil plan for the US. Sorry Fig you're SOL .

Every barrel of oil pumped from US owned property should be pumped out of the ground at a set price. Say $75 a barrel or what have you until we have enough for domestic consumption. Then whatever we have left can go on the open market.


Thoughts?
