My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 2, 2022
Recent polls showed that people hate oil companies more than they hate Vladimir Putin and Russians, so Biden is doing a script re-write and blaming evil oil companies again.
Someone has to be evil, because the American people are witless, infantile morons who can only understand reality on the level of a Marvel Comics film.
President Joe Biden called on “companies running gas stations” to “bring down” their prices Saturday, after a top White House economic adviser said Americans will have to endure financial pain at the pump in order to maintain the “liberal world order.”
The national average for gas prices stood at $4.82 per gallon on Saturday — and over $6.25 in California.
“My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril,” Biden tweeted.
“Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.”
The Biden administration has blamed surging gas prices on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which is now in its fourth month. On Thursday, Biden told reporters in Spain that American drivers will have to endure high gas prices for “as long as it takes” for Ukraine to defeat Russia.
I just can’t even take it anymore.
How is “Ukraine” going to defeat Russia? This is not actually a Marvel Comics film where the underdog miraculously comes out on top. This is an actual war between a very small, poor country and a much larger country.
None of these people are even offering any theoretical scenario in which the Ukraine reclaims any significant territory. You can go read all of these allegedly serious publications from the CFR and so on. They don’t outline a scenario, because there is no scenario, and this is all just bad writing.
