Then how do you explain only 34% of the people polled think the country is heading in the right direction?

Hey, that's up from when it was taken under the Xiden admin

So was OPEC+.
OPEC+ fucked us, just admit it.
Terrible 2 year deal by trump.
Trump and OPEC+ caused lower supply, and when people went back to work, demand went up but OPEC+ was a 2-year deal.

There was NO Biden policy that spiked gas prices to $5.02, it was trumps OPEC+ deal.

/----/ Prices rose further after Russia invaded Ukraine, at which point Biden—along with several allies—chose to embargo Russian oil. That helped push gasoline and diesel prices, which were already high, to all‑time records.

There was little or no economic justification for Obama and Biden to pursue restrictive domestic domestic energy policies.

Not to mention the countless billions of "green energy" subsidies that went God knows where. Mostly into fat cat pockets.

 

[Concerned American]

How about the tanks of the 18 wheelers hauling your food to the grocery? The fertilizer prices of the farmers? The price of heating oil and natural gas to power utilities?

Your concern over diesel is valid. Fertilizer? Not so much as it is produced in this neighborhood of the world.

You clearly know nothing accurate. Do believe everything you’re told from Fox News?

Had O not committed the coup, no war would have occurred in Ukraine. Are you now an O Supporter?

Sadly, Trump's War will see $5 gas, higher grocery prices, and an economic downturn Americans are forced to spend less.

Today he ran his mouth from the W.H. saying he thought the price of a barell would hit $200. Oh, ooooook. Sooooo, Dotard shitstain thought oil would hit $200 but he started this war anyway.

There's the same guy who ran his yap about lowering costs for American citizens.

 

[Clipper]

Diversion again, you want things to fail badly because it is Trump. You want to **** Americans over because your hate of one man.

And we shouldn’t have gone to war, but I also don’t want our nation to fail.

Dumb ass!

Trump thought oil would hit $200/barell but he started this ear anyway.

You need a whipping boy to blame for this catastrophe look at the orange shitstain.

 

[Stryder50]

Current @$5.30+ per gallon here in Washington State. But about a dollar of that is state taxes. Second highest in the nation.

Have you ever been in combat? STFU

You're so goddam worried about whether or not I went to war? YOU voted for draft dodger Trump aka Commander Bonespurs.

It is YOU who needs to STFU, hypocrite.

Thanks for confirming that you're an ignorant keyboard warrior with the common sense and maturity of a petulant third grader.

I heard he's also talking about getting arms to the Iranian populace that is fed up with the theocracy.
Once the people are armed they can take on the IRGC and other remnants of the theocratic regime and replace with something more civil and peaceful focused.

Then this military venture would be done, petrol prices start dropping. It's possible that result could be in before the end of this year.

Bonus would be one less major power disrupting peace in the Middle East.

Biden dodged the draft.

Obama was not in the military so clearly this is not important to Democrats.

That appears to be wacko lib blue anti gasoline california where fuel prices are much higher than in red states like Texas

In this case about $2 higher

The war in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz has actually been buffered by the fact that all of these tankers were at sea at the time that the Strait of Hormuz closed," said Michael Ross, a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, speaking with ABC.

"So all of that supply has still been making its way to consumers. This is the last shipment of that supply that was keeping prices relatively stable. So that should worry us."

*******

All of the tractor trailers that carry all of the goods to other states. Leave from ports in California. They have to buy the diesel in California prior to leaving the state. It doesn't matter what the prices are in other states. The cost of the goods on those trucks, will be based upon what the price of diesel is in California.

Just knowing all of the states on the other side of the California border are paying out their asses for everything is satisfying though.

Why the oil market hasn't seen the Iran war doomsday scenario that experts warned about

Oil hasn't surged to $200 like some, including Trump, had expected. Business Insider spoke to energy market pros about what's kept a lid on prices.

Investors expect a resolution soon​

Investors are counting on Trump to resolve the Iran war soon, and market pricing reflects that sentiment.

The turning point for financial markets was April 7, when Trump announced a temporary US-Iran ceasefire, sending oil prices plunging. The initial ceasefire signaled to investors that Trump was seeking an offramp and was sensitive to market reactions.

Pressures for Trump to reach some resolution in the Middle East are mounting not only from higher oil prices.
