Cutting oil production increases prices, right? Every time. Right? It causes the markets to up the futures prices. And all sort of things happen, when oil companies like OPEC cut their fuel production. Right?
In April of 2020, 7 months before the election, Trump struck a deal with OPEC to lower oil production. They agreed. That's when the oil bust started. By may, here in the USA, oil field layoffs had started, and US oil companies started lowering their production. Essentially, because OPEC started their bust cycle, US oil companies did also.
By the time the elections rolled around, oil companies had used up their excess oil and were relying on fresh oil to supply the country.
But see, here's the kicker. US oil companies still imported and produced enough to supply the nation. Not once did any of us see a gas station that was out of gas, because the refineries couldn't supply gas.
Biden has been the best president US oil companies could've asked for. Record profits, without having to produce 1/2 as much oil as they did the previous year.
They bitch about Biden. But it's all show. They love him. Especially after Biden has promised them guaranteed $70 per barrel.
