Gas Prices: Big Oil is F*cking Us Over Again

Latest

No, Biden is not the cause of increases at the gas pump, OPEC is largely responsible for the price of oil.
No, canceling KXL is not the cause either, it wouldn’t be in production yet even if it had been approved.
No, increased drilling on federal land is not the answer, it would take years before it ever got to market.
No, more lease sales to oil companies will not help, there are 23 million untapped acres under lease now and every single one is just a speculation that it MIGHT produce years or decades down the road. Yes, oil companies ARE making record profits…

Hmmm, now why you figure that could be? Oh yea, right! Big oil is fcking us over for bigger profit… again.

People worried about getting “tread on,” while their a* is in the sausage grinder.
