So the oil companies all the sudden became greedy when the Democrats took control of all three branches of government? Why did they wait and choose to time their greed this way?
You’re asking the question somewhat rhetorically, so I’m thinking that you’ve drawn a conclusion already.

What’s your conclusion?

Doc is claiming that gasoline prices went up because of greedy oil companies rather than as a result of the Biden administrations policies. If it were just greedy oil companies, why were they not greedy during Trump's presidency?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Trump's extreme socialist agenda gave them massive handouts and subsidies. Right out the gate in 2018, Trump gave Exxon alone a nice $6 billion earnings gain through his inflationary tax cuts.

Higher inflation, reckless spending, massive borrowing, welfare handouts... thanks Progressive Trump.

I think that the law dictates that a corporation serves the shareholder, correct? You could characterize that as ‘greed’ or not, but the mandate exists. Do you agree?

There are also a couple of questions in play here, if we are going to discuss this:

1. What are the specific policies of the current Administration that you see as raising the cost of gasoline to the end user, relative to the cost per barrel?

2. What are the specific policies of the current Administration that you see as affecting the cost per barrel?

What do you think about both of these?
