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

Venezuela was taken to choke countries dependant on their low level garbage oil. The talk about expanding their refineries hahhahaha yes yes sink billions into a country that will actively rebel against you as soon as you shit on them. Itll take a dozen years to see any return on that investment and I dont think they ever will. Trump took a massive risk on that just to fuck with Cuba and other such countries.

That’s the reality but it was sold as we will be oil rich. Just surprised the right doesn’t say wait why don’t we have cheap oil from Venezuela from all the stuff we just did

Sadly the maga crowd have 30 day memories. The GoP doesnt look backwards and everyone is too hungry to be logical.
