The article doesn't address that but it has to play a role with increased prices especially in Ca.

Biden blames Trump and Corporate greed for the increases...

Biden's war on oil has contributed to raising the price of fuel post-covid (part of that is returning demand, but on the supply end, the Keystone XL pipeline could have replaced 1.5 million BOPD supply that was lost when stripper wells were Plugged and abandoned during COVID).

Artificially, indirectly, raise the price of motor fuels while trying to pimp EVs, and the result is that the extra fuel costs become a surcharge on everything shipped, and that's just about everything. In large part, the increase in cost of supplies and materials, right down to the broccoli on the grocery stores shelves, ties directly back to Biden's Energy Policy, and pandering to the whole Ecowhacko lobby.

Naturally, that means if you are selling something, those costs have to be recouped, and the help will want more money so they can maintain their standard of living, too.

It's a vicious cycle, and he set it in motion day one.

Thanks, pookie!

You're welcome, as always, Smokin Joe!

This is a target rich environment...

I'm sure he feels safe flying from Qatar to Iran and back.

More malaise then recession ... the country lacks common cause, common direction, and common apsirations ... the rich want to get richer, the powerful want to accumulate more power ... the rest aimlessly wander in the deserts of modern politics in search of oasises, but only finding mirages.

The politics of division can win elections, but it doesn't build a nation.

Biden does not work to improve the lives of ALL Americans; he works to improve the lives of some (Americans and non-Americans) at the expense of others.
