First comment:
He's right. Its not.
And the fact that gas prices are hitting new highs WORLDWIDE would indicate that Biden policies are not responsible for the increase.
But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of this right-wing conservative circle-jerk that /r/economy has become. Keep putting those stickers on the gas pumps you donuts.

Followed by protracted arguing:
That's a whole lot of words to say some stupid both sides bullshit
You really play this whole anyone that disagrees with me hates minorities card.
If anyone is super into the oil industry or arguing about it there's a lot going on in there.
Everyone else in here is also probably an r-slur:

Doesn't matter if there's a dial, Biden hasn't been doing much to help it and historically gas prices have always been one of the biggest issues when it comes to voting. Pulling some oil out of reserves we couldn't last on for a week isn't doing shit, that's for darn sure. Personally, it's good job security for me though, we've been busier than ever at the refineries so I'm not complaining
as someone who works in the industry I can assure you that's not true. We've been busting our asses running non-stop. My main priority is taking heat exchangers off-line to get them cleaned, and we've never been operating at a faster pace. We've broken several intracompany records for turnaround time in the past 6 months. High oil prices aren't good for the execs in the long-term, they see the sweet-spot between 50-75 dollars a barrel. High prices gives clients more initiative to start looking into alternative solutions

That's the real irony: environmentalists have wanted this for decades, but now they have it, they deny their Savior three times
