I respect NW for trying to maintain 'balance', and I do not assume how he votes..
However, one thing is undeniable... The day Biden assumed office, gasoline cost us about $2 per gallon. That same day with his pen, he cancelled much of our petroleum industry's production!
All energy costs have raised precipitously since that day..along with virtually all other commodities.
During the past years, our stocks have plummeted, while prices for almost everything , have risen exponentially.

Thanks for the vote in favor of "balance"
In that vein please check the following statistics:
The daily US oil production in Jan 2021 and the production now
The Dow Jones averages in Jan 2021 and now.
Your other statements are correct about the price of gas and the price of energy. I maintain neither is strongly caused by the government. Except for electricity which is quasi price regulated in most areas; the suppliers themselves set the prices. World oil prices (what oil companies go by regardless of WHERE they drill for oil) went from about $54 per barrel in Jan 2021 to over $120 per barrel today. A 50% increase in oil prices usually results in AT LEAST a 50% increase in gasoline price - again not regulated by any government.
Not going to flog a dead horse anymore, the FACTS are out there and easy to find in unbiased reports; industry production reports, 10K's etc. If you want to follow what Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones etc TELL YOU to believe - that is your right. Only listening to people who tell you what you already "know" to be correct is not a discussion it is an "Echo Chamber"
