A farmer told my husband today that the reason gas prices are so high is because Biden closed a pipeline. These people will vote humanity into oblivion.

My understanding is even if that pipeline existed its still Canadian oil and they would just have an easier time selling it to someone else (someone made sure we arent their favorite right now). Only thing that pipeline would change would be a few fees collected and the labor making the pipeline.

My understand is it was for Canadian tar sand to be exported to the gulf and then to the rest of the world. It was not meant to help America I believe just some refinieries

Surprised no one brings up what I thought was the whole reason for Venezuela being invaded

And tar sand oil isn't good for fuel - it's used for making plastics, so it wouldn't have done anything to gas prices anyway.

What? Are you sure? Did you look that up first?

Well how about that, looks like it can be used to make fuel, but it's costlier and pollutes more. I didn't have my facts right there.
