[citygator]

Oil prices blow past $100 a few hours ago for the first time in years. Experts warning investors to expect all time highs.

Not what a weakening economy needs that’s for sure.

After adding more than $40 a barrel in a little more than five trading sessions, the nominal record for West Texas Intermediate futures—$145.29, set on July 3, 2008—no longer seems out of reach. And if the Strait of Hormuz remains a barrier to Middle Eastern barrels reaching the market for long, an inflation-adjusted all-time high around $215 a barrel might also be in sight.

And you are cheering it on, aren’t you? I bet you would love it if we had more dead soldiers so you can gawk and point and laugh at the maga people.

Btw, you are citing futures contracts and not current price per barrel. Price could very well be under $100/barrel by tomorrow morning.

Democrats aren’t calling for a legislation to ban speculative trading nor demanding windfall tax against oil companies.

I wonder why?

So would now be a good time to put more regulations on US Energy Companies??

Are you stupid? This war is you and your party's doing. We'd all rather you crawl under a rock and disappear than laugh at you for screwing us all over.

Newsom is having several cups STFU today.

Governor Newsom Calls for a Windfall Tax to Put Record Oil Profits Back in Californians’ Pockets | Governor of California

SACRAMENTO – As Californians see renewed spikes in gas prices, Governor Gavin Newsom today called for a windfall tax on oil companies that would go directly back to California taxpayers.

"Experts" eh? Which experts?

 

[pknopp]

Trump did that.

Except..your savior is responsible for all of it. To the benefit of his corporate friends and donors.

I said it was going to happen a couple days ago. No you didn't have to be an expert to see it coming.

 

[Captain Creeper]

It amazes me that leftists who are borderline retarded create posts like this.

 

[drudge X]

Trump did that.

Speculation

... and yet .. gas is still cheaper than it was under both Biden and Obama .. and .. we are getting shit done instead of being pussified by our leadership.

"Experts" told us to wear a mask, get a shot and stand six feet apart.

I do not consider Trump to be a savior. That is some bullshit you guys cooked up your manipulate people against him and his supporters. Second, it is no surprise to anyone with a brain that fighting in the Middle East temporarily drives up the price of oil. DeRp!!

Apparently, though, it has come as a surprise to you and OP.

No, I am not loving that the cabal of pedophiles you voted for entangled us in another stupid war

From all the years since 1979 with Iran and the crap they pushed, this is deserved. The argument is that if Trump should have done it. I have no hope if you win in the fall. More people know what you are now. Unfortunately, your brainwashed and those with gripes since Neanderthals walked the earth do not.
