    1. Your comment is homophobic, but you know that. First of all, Buttigieg is Transportation Secretary, not Energy Secretary (Jennifer Granholm). There is nary a politician that can meaningfully impact the short- or medium-term world-wide supply or price of natural gas or oil.

    2. So Mayor Pete has nothing to do with transportation of fuels as mentioned in the article?
      How about the shipping ports or airports? His silence on these recent issues is strange. My comment has nothing to do with his husband or kids. Keep your bigotry muted please.

    3. So, you are against working parents…. but are okay with marriage equality?

      That is a weird split of beliefs to align with a party… lol

    4. Bernard, your comment belies your lack of information about the macro effects of the pandemic on the supply chain. Buttigieg didn’t cause it and can really do little to help. It’s called market forces, and some new magical policy you’d like him to whip up is fantasy. Finally, I think if your going to be homophobic, you should own it. “Maternity” leave. Please…. if you had said “Paternity” leave, no one would have accused you of bigotry – instead they’d think you’re just very old-fashioned about a father taking time off to care for and bond with a newborn.

  1. Good comment, Bernard…and thanks so much, Biden & Company. ‘Just spent $76 to fill both my 2010 Focus and 2016 Escape off the same nozzle, neither of which was empty and neither of which have 15-gallon tanks. Heaven help us all….

    1. Hmmm…it seems that Donald Trump was the one to sign the agreement with OPEC to cut production rates mid-pandemic, when consumption was down and we didn’t reap the impacts until demand climbed.

    2. But A.T., the first rule of being a Trump supporter is that Dear Leader is never wrong.

      The corollary is that it’s always someone else’s fault.

  2. Natural gas prices are high primarily due to market pressures – worldwide demand has increased and supply hasn’t adjusted. The NG prices may also reflect inflationary impacts but solely blaming inflation is incorrect.

  3. Inflation is a good thing because it forces people to pay higher prices for goods and services, which increases the revenue of the producers such as oil companies. I am an avid investor in stocks, so my investments will continue to inflate along with consumer goods. Much better than investing in my kids education.
