YAWN. Biden killed the pipeline to pander to heavy donors like railroad owner Warren Buffet and radical, clueless environmentalists who would have us return to cave-dwelling…US, that is, not them. Simple enough. All the other “explanations” are frosting on that ugly cake.
This is a really lazy take that ignores the major demand declines during the pandemic and permanent losses in refining capacity (approx. 1.2 million barrels per day). Keystone XL wouldn’t have even been for U.S. consumption, it would have been for exports, years in the future. Its prices on Brent Crude futures would have been negligible.
Most all of Bob’s comments can be described by your first six words.
This isn’t the first comment I’ve seen from Mr. B.P. that’s immediately negative and conspiratorial that fit into a slim narrative that most conservatives I know in south-central Indiana don’t agree with. Except my uneducated sister and her “white rage on everything” hubby. It is sad to see lumber prices still riding so high due to lack of supply – even though the new President is working with Canada to reduce the increased tariff that President Trump slapped on them.
My equally lazy response is that the Trumpublican Party and associated media machine runs on grievance and anger. I’ve seen the Fox News watched by family members. Appears to me that if you watch enough of it and you’re convinced that you yourself are under continual attack from “those people” and everything is going to hell.
Blaming Biden for higher gas prices, when gas prices go up every summer due to increased demand, is just another example.

All you nay-sayers deny the concept of perception. As my father used to say, “People believe what they want to believe.” So true. (Leftist, Gannett-owned USA Today fact-checkers? What a joke; talk about the fox guarding the hen house!)
If you really believe Biden & Company are “for” the working man and pro-America in general, knock yourself out. The reality that he is a puppet for evil, Godless forces beyond your comprehension (or want to acknowledge) is something I cannot help you understand or acknowledge. Ignorance is bliss, per the old adage. Or, as Author Ayn Rand says, “You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” See how all this has played out in, say, 4 or 5 years.
To the topic at hand: Sure, there are forces at work within the gasoline supply chain that will raise prices in the summertime….so how do you account for the price having ALREADY gone up almost a dollar a gallon since Biden took office BEFORE the summer driving season arrived? People hear of the pipeline being aborted and perceive what it is going to do to the gasoline supply in the United States…and if you haven’t noticed by your own posts, perception is reality for all too many people.
(BTW, I watch less than an hour of FOX News every week, most recently to stay abreast of the condo collapse disaster in Florida. Tragedies like that testify to man’s arrogance and greed, a belief being borne out as engineering reports that were generally ignored are revealed. That has nothing to do with Biden or Trump; it’s yet another manifestation of human nature.)
It’s supply and demand. People are able to get out of their houses and are anxious to do so.
Bob, if you don’t think all politicians are playing for the rich elite, you’re a fool. Even Trump had lots of people who luxuriated in the swamp…

I know, I know that’s just more fake leftist news. Enjoy your information bubble and whatever your perception of reality is.
How DID you get so smart, Joe B?

I guess I’m not the fool you think I am because, no, I don’t think ALL politicians are playing for the rich elite. I believe there are a few principled men and women in politics, albeit not enough of them. Tim Scott and my first choice for President among the 2016 Republican candidates, Dr. Ben Carson, are among them.
‘Too bad you are so jaundiced, Joe; being left-wing and ignorant is a dangerous combination.
How’d I get so smart? Read a whole bunch, worked hard, applied myself, good teachers. Just lucky, I guess. Next time we can talk about my humility… and the role that heavy doses of sarcasm plays into everything.
Ben Carson? Please. Look at his record at HUD. He was in over his head and remains so. Ask more from leaders.
What’s sad is how being a Dick Lugar Republican gets you called a leftist. If only Republicans had anyone as serious as Lugar around. They’ve purged all the serious politicians with big thoughts from the party … heck, Mitch Daniels has forgotten more than DeSantis will ever know.
No Oil Joe!
