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.

I unironically support these policies but that's because I'm not poor so gas prices increasing doesn't actually affect me.

Limetree and LyondellBasell got hammered for benzene pollution though. That's not a new Biden thing.
