What the fuck :rofl:

It's called supply chain disruptions and panic buying fueled by stimulus checks

The economy was way better under Trump and even most Demodrones acknowledge that


That's an exceptionally brain-dead take. The supply chain disruptions were caused by Covid. Full stop. The stimulus checks were not what caused these issues. Covid interrupted production, shipping, and basically every facet of manufacturing. Computer ship shortages were caused by increased demand for at-home telecomputing power both in the form of individuals buying computers and companies buying server space and a draught in Taiwan resulting in lower manufacturing.

The economy Trump handed Biden was in shambles and experiencing every problem it is currently experiencing. The only thing you can really pin on Biden economically is that he didn't fix the entire world's supply chain in his first year.

The biggest inflation this year was petroleum prices.

Cancelling Keystone XL blew up like a Cigar in Biden's mouth.

Meanwhile the USA is exporting 8.5 million barrels of oil per day.

So weird right? Almost like you fell for conservative outrage.

Keystone XL was an illegal pipeline that still would have gotten approved under Obama if Republicans hadn't brought so much attention to it.

It was literally rerouted to native land after the White City it was passing by originally protested about oil spills

There's always fake outrage when the economy falters. I still remember Bush getting blamed for Great Recession.

Biden proposes dumping trillions of dollars into the economy at a time when voters are especially sensitive to inflation. Voters are punishing him for being deaf to their concerns.

That barrels number is pointless without historical comparison. Biden's supply of oil is lower than his predecessor, and a low level of oil supply forces the price to rise at the current demand.

Inflation is caused by the supply chain dummy.

The stimulus checks are the most popular thing he did. The stimulus checks from almost a year ago causing sustained inflation is incredibly dumb and dishonest

Just like complaining about oil prices is pointless without historical global production. OPEC has cut oil production to increase profit so they can recover losses sustained during last years global shutdown.

Biden didn't cause a spike in global oil prices, you're smarter than that.

This is wrong. It wasn’t homebodies buying up computer chips. Its crypto mining on a major scale by company’s like Mara.


Also Democrats caused supply chain issues. Now crying they can’t fix supply chain issues which is a direct cause of their politics.

Biden put opec back in the driving seat when he knee capped our energy sector. He’s the direct cause.
