It is true that Biden's policy on Keystone has an effect, but typically, the price at the pump is also affected by refining capacity and world demand. One reason gas went down in price over the last year or so had to do with less driving going on during COVID. There was also less consumption of oil overall in the world for much of 2020.
That being said, it is true that the price of oil does have a downstream effect on the price at the pump, but it usually has a delay.
Well, if the price of oil rose in November or December in response to Biden's election, then that would explain why gas prices are increasing now. I haven't followed the speculative market on oil recently. When did oil prices begin to rise?It is true that Biden's policy on Keystone has an effect, but typically, the price at the pump is also affected by refining capacity and world demand.

Our Covid situation hasn't changed all that much in a little over a month, and to my knowledge, there have been no refining or transportation issues. It's all because of Biden's policies and expected policies. That's why traders are usually referred to as speculators.

Since the delay I mentioned usually is about a month or so, that makes sense.Well, if the price of oil rose in November or December in response to Biden's election, then that would explain why gas prices are increasing now.

They began to rise after the election.

I think the funniest thing about the progressive resistance to Keystone is that the oil will be transported one way or another. If the pipeline doesn't achieve it, then trains will.
Trains are, of course, less environmentally safe than a pipeline, but environmentalists are usually pretty bad at risk assessment in general.
Some folks have an acute gun fetish, and mistakenly derive an unrealistic sense of entitlement from the 2nd Amendment, fancying that they can mince around fondling any sort of man-enhancer anywhere and any time they wish.And that's what we are talking about shitlapper, infringement on the 2nd. Constitution doesn't say that, BATFe did. On their own. No input from anyone, no congress, nothing. They just make up their rules. And the ATF CFR book has more than doubled in the last 50 years.

95% of the 'gun crimes' in the US are caused by negro gang bangers.I'm a gun owner. Got a bunch of 'em downstairs in the safe. Got my first gun at 11yrs old. Bought it with my chore money. Used to be a member of the NRA. Until they went stupid.
I think American gun-culture is stupid and crazy.
I've long advocated that when a tool of such potential destructive/disruptive potential is brought into our civil society then what comes with it is ----- strict liability.
If there is ANY harm to humans or property after that weapon is fired then the OWNER of the gun bears a significant liability. NOT just the jackass who fired it ....... but also the owner of record.
That means if your Glock is stolen from underneath the seat of your Ford-150 and it is used to shoot somebody's cheatin' wife.....well, the shooter gets arrested and tried, and the owner of the gun gets a whopper of a fine.
It was his gun. He brought it into our society. He failed to secure it adequately. Ergo......he has a share of the responsibility.
THEN.......you would see a more serious, responsible, cautious approach to owning those things.
IMHO
I don't chat about legal matters with gun enthusiasts, but have long heard variations on the "Big Blue Meanies are coming to take my precious away!" hysteria that makes me want to comfort them with the reality that there is no serious legislative initiative anywhere to revoke their 2nd Amendment rights.It seems every time I ask an anti-gun leftist, they all seem to have a different answer.
There aren’t any people in prison awaiting trial. People waiting for trials are in local or county jails.We lock up the wrong people and we have pretty horrible bail policies.We have the highest incarceration rate in the world.High legal gun ownership guarantees lots of criminals with guns.
yeah that's why crime rates are lower than they were 20 years ago
Law enforcement is gunned down weekly. That is rare in countries with strong gun control. They also rarely shoot people . Many of our problems are due to weak gun laws.
Did you know that almost 70% of people in prisons right now have not been convicted of any crime but are merely awaiting trial?
95% of the 'gun crimes' in the US are caused by negro gang bangers.
More like 80 million, but yeah. The point remains.They do ban cars in some areas.If more people are killed by cars than guns, why don't they want to ban cars instead of guns?If being able to fondle a shooty infuses confidence, why are so many of the gun-dependent so insecure?Democrats: "We need to keep guns out of the hands of children, criminals, and the mentally retarded"
Republican Translation: Them damn Liberals are gonna take all our shootin irons away!!
Why are Republicans so paranoid about guns? America has more guns in circulation than they have people. A few less guns in the hands of criminals and children seems like common sense to me.
A majority of people in this country want sane gun laws. Those who want a total ban are fringe
A majority of people in this country want sane gun laws
and who decides what's 'sane'?
Is banning 'assault weapons' sane?
Over 3 million in civilian hands, and less that 50 have been used to murder in the last 40 years.
Is that 'sane'?
Which is why we MUST push with equal force in the OPPOSITE direction, JUST to maintain the status quo.Any psychological background check will have hazards, no doubt. And I agree that some probably would avoid help given that situation.
As far as the check itself goes, however, it would require reforming HIPAA law to allow for the check to access personal information. The diagnosis of mental illness would not be connected to the background check itself, because, as you said, there is the hazard of political bias. Diagnosis of something like schizophrenia would still be something that would be determined by a person's psychologist -- someone they trust, not a potential political activist type.
All that aside, I disagree with a lot of proposals by Democrats on this issue.
As the late Rush Limbaugh used to say, I know liberals like I know every square inch of my glorious naked body. That being said, I think back to when the left was pushing for gays to be out of the closet. That's all they wanted, and they'd be happy. Today, they forced their marriage down our throats, and even are able to adopt children.
I remember at a time where everybody smoked. The left asked that it be restricted in movie theaters. That's all they wanted, and they'd be happy. Today, you can't smoke a cigarette in most public places, and in blue states, not even outside in a park or on the beech.
What I'm saying here is that Democrats never stop at point A. Oh, they say that's all they want at the time, but after they reach point A, they proceed to point B, then C, then D...........
Once we agree to psychological background checks or exams, we'll be opening up a new Pandora's Box.
50 percent of all murders are committed by blacks mostly in the hoods. 37 percent of all violent crime is committed by blacks.95% of the 'gun crimes' in the US are caused by negro gang bangers.
OK, poster 'dannyboys'......that sounds really serious.
But, before anyone here on this venue reacts........can you prove it?
I don't mean you personally hafta call the morgues or ER's......but rather, give us some authoritative sourcing that we can have confidence in.
And in you.
I don't give a shit about the cap guns most of you peckerwoods call an assault weapon as long you behave - too include not showing up in public with your dick hanging out.They do ban cars in some areas.If more people are killed by cars than guns, why don't they want to ban cars instead of guns?If being able to fondle a shooty infuses confidence, why are so many of the gun-dependent so insecure?Democrats: "We need to keep guns out of the hands of children, criminals, and the mentally retarded"
