Audio and summary
The prices have been rising ever since the Biden/Harris shut down the pipelines, and made it so no investor will take the chance to drill. We will not see pre-Biden gas prices until his boot is taken off the neck of America’s oil companies, which will happen once he is removed from office. Why are we applauding the signs of gas dropping to just over $4 when it could AND SHOULD be under $3. The left wants us to be thankful that it’s dropping by pennies, wow, how is that 4% raise working for you with 9% inflation??
