doubling down on both the short-sightedness and selfishness points by illustrating how the only way you could ever imagine someone understanding and caring about larger issues, is when they don't impact them directly and immediately. involuntary comedy gold, lol.

Prices are not a reflection of the past but of future expectations. The fact is, his moves and his stance, which is undoubtedly towards supporting EV's and opposing fossil fuel consumption is obvious. That's been most democrats perspective for a few years now.

Tesla and the rest of the EV's are not trading at stratospheric valuations because of what happened or what is happening today but rather what will happen. Same with gasoline, it's going up because market participants know supply will get squeezed. There's a ton of things that are and will happen under Biden's admin that is anti-fossil fuels. The below article is just an example.

It's fine to have your perspective I just wish Biden was a little more honest. He is absolutely raising taxes on the middle and lower classes through this proxy.

Just some back of napkin math. 10 dollars extra per week per car currently for me. 2 cars. 2*10= 20, 20*52 weeks and we're at 1040.

To get this to pretax we can multiply by 1.25*1040= 1300 per annum.

Let's say the average family makes 60 grand. 1300/60,000=2.2%

So the average middle-class family just got 2.2% tax increase in a matter of like 3 months.

Let's say that family only make 40k. 1300/40,000 = 3.25% tax increase

And this is at current prices when we are still in half lockdowns with just barely getting out of winter. What is that % going to look like if gas gets to 4/gallon? How about if we include the price increase in goods and services? Now consider this in the context that like 50-70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Trump negotiated with the Saudi's on a monthly basis.

Biden has no backbone and this will carry on into all other foreign affairs as well.

Keystone is just one aspect of Biden's failures and inefficiencies.

yeah, here's trump's record on "negotiating" with the saudis: he not only supported their regime after they murdered a washington post columnist, but also made america actively support the genocide in yemen. biden at least ended the american military support for those massacres - for now. i thought you trumpist were non-interventionists and opposed wars? shouldn't you be glad about biden's course? oh right, you don't have any real principles...

Higher gas prices hurt the poor and low income groups disproportionately. It also makes long commuting distances less attractive and thus indirectly increases pressure on the housing market in booming metros.

higher gas prices have nothing to do with biden right now lmao.

Dunno if Biden is at fault, probably not. But that's not the point I was trying to make. Thor said that he favors higher fossil fuel costs. I pointed out that this is an elitist attitude which disregards the very tangible negative impact of higher gas prices on low(er) income people.

sorry i misquoted who i was directed at - was supposed to be vs endlessky lol, my bad

you literally just made the 'states with lockdown are doing worse than states without' argument without listing any metrics

shut the fuck up troll

Per capita death rates are a metric

Fuck off, degenerate
