Do you dispute any of his statistics, for which he provided his sources? If you dispute them, please provide your sources.
Oh, that's right: You can't dispute his facts, so you mention where he was born--as if that was in his control--and where he's lived. In other words: You have no actual response to his FACTS and you concede their truth.
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
The funny thing is that you think I would actually click on a TikTok video. If you have stats you wish to share, feel free.
Right...why would you spend a whole 90 seconds (that's how long it is) watching a video with statistics and sources, when you already know that it's going to show stuff that you wish weren't true? Instead, you can spend more time than that on denialism.
You're definitely proving someone wrong but it isn't who you think it is.
Democrats are obsessed with the environment. They think shutting down US oil production makes them good people. But they still want to use oil. So Biden is begging OPEC and Venezuela to increase production so he can have as much oil as he's always had while still being able to pretend he's a good person for decreasing US oil production,
1. This is idiotic.
2. If you really cared about the environment you'd want heavily regulated US companies to be drilling and shipping the oil around now 3rd world suck holes like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
3. Democrats are directly causing unnecessary financial harm to Americans solely for the purpose of virtue signaling.
It looks more to me like oil companies are trying to punish democrats, or maybe they were just cautious with production coming out of Covid. Nothing Biden has done has forced them into anything. Every time I see someone try to prove that gas prices were Bidens fault, it goes something like “oil companies saw that Biden cared about the climate and so they lowered production in preparation. Clearly Biden’s fault.” But none of them say here’s X and Y policy passed by Biden forcing oil companies to make less oil. Because the policy doesn’t exist.
They are hurting themselves to punish Democrats when half of their shareholders are Democrats. That's your theory?
Democrats are making gas powered cars illegal.
Democrats are openly demanding the oil industry be destroyed.
Who in their right mind would invest the billions of dollars it takes to expand production in this environment??
ANY OF THESE is disqualifying and most are worthy of full prosecution. Yet the 'law and order' conservatives' shrug and say 'eh Hunter Biden. ' We've still got a couple months of trump crimes to go through.

Agip, do you have any idea how wildly unpopular your GOP Crime Blotter is? No one, and I mean NO ONE, even Dems view it!

Democrat politicians. They do not want Democrat politicians to be in power. You list a few good reasons why.
And also basically admit that they aren’t being forced to do anything, and that their production decisions have been their own. Brandon isn’t mind controlling the oil industry. We’re in the very early stages of shifting our energy sources. There’s no reason to believe that banning electric cars in one state in 15 years should mean that we slow production now. What likely spooked them more than anything was Covid, but Covid isn’t a politician so you can’t blame it.
The XL pipeline was halted by the Supreme Court while Trump was still in office!!!
Biden could not have had construction on it continue even if he wanted to!!!
The extension was to take tar sands oil from Canada and send it to the Gulf of Mexico to be shipped to Asia to make plastics!!!
That low-grade tar sands oil is still being delivered, only it is by truck rather than the pipeline!!!
It would not have changed the price of oil or gas anywhere!!!
You continue to show how big of a Super Dummy you are!!!
There isn't a single thing about gas prices or the economy that you have ever gotten right!!!
Your Dear Leader, Donald J. Trump, is going to go to prison!!!
Cry Super Dummy Trumplican, cry!!!
You have absolutely no understanding of oil and gas markets. That is evident. Transporting Athabascan tar sand oil by truck or rail poses a greater risk to everyone and the environment than had it been transported by pipeline (pipelines are safer and more efficient). It also makes it more expensive (which seems to be an aim of the current administration) and is one of the factors driving inflation (the other being excessive stimulus from the ARP). The Biden Administration is committed to making oil and gas more expensive.
I still find it comical that posts that make no mention of Trump you try to deflect back towards Trump. This thread was not about Trump. It was about Biden's policies. Talk about Biden's policies and how inflation has gone from 1.4% to 8.3%, how the markets have cratered this year, how the value of your house is plummeting, etc. Please offer defense for those.
Hey Dummy Trumplican!!!
I know more about the gas and oil industry than you do!!!
I never said anything about environmental impact, only that the Supreme Court under Donald J. Trump axed the XL extension!!! That is a strawman argument!!! Doesn't work with me!!!
That pipeline, which wouldn't have been completed by now if it had been allowed to continued, and which again was shut down during Donald J. Trump's administration, has zero to do with the cost of oil or gas!!!
Typical Dummy Trumplican thinking that a very small thing that happens to pass through the United States can affect global oil prices!!!
Joe Biden is not Donald J. Trump!!! That's all the defense that is needed!!!
The inflation we see is due to coming out of the global pandemic!!!

Got it.
Okay, I think you're not being fair, truthboy. We've already established, on this thread and others, that we're not going to require people to watch videos, even short ones.
So here you go, Joe: GOP states have a 40% higher murder rate than Dem states. GOP states are only 29% of America's economy, Dem states 71%. Nine of the top ten states to get federal welfare benefits from the gummint are GOP. Nine of the top ten states for maternal and infant mortality are GOP. Nine of the top ten states for gun violence and gun death are GOP.
The TikTokker provides his sources for all of those.

I read every single one of them!!!

Clearly Biden’s fault.” But none of them say here’s X and Y policy passed by Biden forcing oil companies to make less oil. Because the policy doesn’t exist.
Oil companies are just like any other companies, they exist to make money and will act in their self-interest. That being said, the left likes to paint oil companies as evil and complain when their policies create regulatory environments that cause prices to skyrocket and accuse oil companies of gouging consumers. If you want specific policies, here you go: Executive Orders 14030, 14008, and 13990. He signed 13990 on his first day in office as a shot across the bow of all of the oil companies and those who would invest in them. Policies affect price. Ask Californians and their $6.30 gas (because nobody is going to build a refinery in California ever again). When you enact policies with the aim of eliminating fossil fuels without a cost-effective alternative already in place, you create a disincentive to invest in fossil fuel infrastructure (and destabilize the marketplace). It takes years to payback an oil well, pipeline, refinery, etc. That is why your electric bill went up 15% last year. They legislated natural gas prices higher with their federal drilling moratorium, anti-fracking legislation at the state and federal level, etc., but the alternative (renewable + storage) is not cost competitive at this time (and may never be) compared to the incumbent technology they are forcing out the door.

The pandemic hit full force the Trump administration. Trump stared it down, scoffed and handed off to the newly elected Biden an inflation of 1.7%. Biden took that inflation, doubled down with idiotic spending programs and sent that inflation from a world-leading inflation of 1.7% to a world-worse inflation of 9.1%. Biden sh&t the pooch as a coworker of mine used to say.

It's disingenuous to say they aren't being forced to do anything. You make decisions based on the environment you operate in. Democrats make that environment openly hostile.
Why would anyone invest BILLIONS with a 15 year horizon? Would you buy a house if you knew it was going to burned down in 15 years and you'd lose your investment?

talk about disingenuous...it's perfectly obvious to everyone that the fossil fuels industry will suffer as alt energies come online. So oil companies aren't investing like they used to.
This isn't a political issue....it's just facts. Virtually the entire world is pushing hard to get away from burning stuff for energy, and for good reason as renewables become cheaper and cheaper.
Blaming the Dems for this is disingenuous....it's like blaming the dems for gravity when you run slow. Sure, the Dems believe in gravity. But so does everyone else.

While we're at it, would be the Democrat solution to increase the GPD and decrease crime in, say, Louisiana? Or NM?
that's an interesting question. Obviously hard after generations of conservative misrule has ingrained poverty and lack of respect for education.
Probably you could read Hillbilly Elegy to get some ideas on how to help poor people trapped in conservative states. Education, better jobs and getting kids away from being stuck in conservative small towns are at the heart of it. And somehow ending drug abuse would go a long way.
Usually, unfortunately, government work is key to getting undereducated people into decent careers. So one idea is increase taxes, increase the size of local government hiring. It's not the most productive work, but the idea is to get people working and get their confidence up. I'd rather people worked in private sector but private companies generally want educated people without criminal and drug problems.
Unions can be useful to help poor people learn trades. Rs obviously fight unions at every stop since Rs want to help rich people, not poor and middle people.
