Did some traveling this weekend and saw these fun and enlightening stickers on several fuel pumps. Just got home and looked them up and see that they are widely available…. If it didn’t mean I would be defacing another person’s property, I would buy me a batch and join in the fun.
These decals would be too funny if they weren’t true. I see them quite often in my part of the world, I also see where the leftist have wrote FU on them or tried to scratch them off. The local owner of a service station (a true service station) has them on his pumps. If he catches someone defacing the stickers he tells them “if that offends you don’t come back”.
I've seen these too. I asked my local gas station owner about them, and he said that in this state it is a $1,000 fine to deface private property. He mounted a camera high above the pumps to catch the license plate of anyone defacing his place of business. I hope and pray that each one of you shells out the 6 bucks for a ten pack of these stickers. That way, you might just be out $1,006 for your immaturity and disregard for another man's business. I kind of thought that you said that you were against destroying private property, but I guess when it's thousands of maggot supporters, it's just fine. My advice... GROW UP!
I don't plan to put stickers on anyone's property, my own included, but you are one seriously duplicitous jerk. You have the nerve to equate the application of a removable sticker with the permanent damage done by brick throwers, looters and arsonists? Someone get Joe a diaper . . . he needs to start over again.
You can see how terrible the arguments are when a sticker is compared to looting. It's also funny that these leftists will demand a $1,000 fine be paid for a sticker but excuse $1,000+ of items stolen from a store. How much financial damage does a sticker do compared to looting a store?
The implication of these silly stickers is that Biden is causing high fuel prices. It doesn't surprise me at all that the same morons that elected someone like Trump, actually believe that the U.S. President has any effect at all on gas pricing. Obama didn't, Trump didn't, and Biden certainly doesn't either. How damn stupid do you really have to be to keep believing something so provably false? Anyone, be they Democrat or Republican, that thinks the president controls gas prices needs to have their head examined because they seem to have become disassociated from facts and reason. The only reason we are seeing high prices at the pumps right now is because of your favorite economic system and how oil producers are manipulating it to their own benefit. Supply and demand baby! Live by it, die by it.
You either have to be dishonest enough to pretend to not know, or dumb enough to really not know that a president's policies affect supply and / or demand.
B.S. Name one Biden Administration policy that has caused a supply and demand issue that then resulted in higher fuel prices at the pump. Or Trump for that matter. Or Obama for that matter. I'll wait. Let the googling begin....
I think the left chooses to ignore shutting down pipelines, adding regulations, and pushing unproven “green” technologies. Begging OPEC to supply more oil also rarely goes well. Neither does emboldening Russia.
B.S. yourself Joe. Learn something about how the world really works . . . not how you want it to be. When an impactful new source of some commodity is expected to come on line, the market prices in the expected increase in supply, driving down the price. That is true for oil, for concrete, for electricity, for lumber, for milk, for labor, for everything. When that expected source is suddenly canceled (Keystone, in this case), the market realizes the supply is not going to increase, expectations change, and the price of the commodity goes back up. No Googling required. I'll leave it to you to choose which you are Joe . . . dumb or dishonest.
Talking straight out of your ass as usual. Funny, no mention of either Keystone or Biden. 3 reasons why gas prices are so high right now Andy Kiersz Nov 25, 2021, 9:21 AM Drivers are feeling the pain at the pump. Grace Cary/Getty Images Gas prices in the US have hit a seven-year high. Demand has increased as the economy reopened and Americans have begun driving more. Meanwhile, supply has been constrained because of lower US production and OPEC decisions. Get a daily selection of our top stories based on your reading preferences.

Americans are once again feeling pain at the gas pump, and it's because of a classic clash between rising demand and constrained supply. An October report from AAA found that gas prices across the US hit their highest average levels since 2014 higher than they've been at any point since 2014. It's gotten even worse since then. Data from the US Energy Information Administration, which found gas prices rising throughout 2021, hitting levels not seen since the middle of the last decade. Prices continued to spike throughout October, hitting an average of $3.40 a gallon on November 22: The reasons for the price spike are textbook supply and demand from an economics textbook: Americans have gotten back to driving more this summer as the pandemic has moderated, and a combination of domestic supply interruptions and trouble in energy markets overseas have made crude oil more expensive. Demand is up as Americans take to the road again As with so many other aspects of everyday life, the COVID-19 pandemic radically changed how Americans travel. Lockdowns and the uncontrolled early spread of the virus led to canceled travel and a sharp reduction in commutes. By summer 2021, however, Americans were back on the road. The number of vehicle miles traveled measured by the Federal Highway Administration plummeted in spring 2020, but in the last few months, highway traffic was back up to what would normally be seen in midsummer: That increase in the amount of driving Americans are doing also means an increase in demand for fuel for cars. US oil production and refining haven't kept up In addition to that ramp-up in demand, there have been some big supply constraints as well. The Energy Information Administration noted in mid-September that Hurricane Ida shut down a large swath of the US's oil drilling and refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico in late August. While rigs and refineries have quickly come back online since, crude oil inventories remain low, suggesting an ongoing lack of supply. EIA wrote that as of late September, oil stored at Cushing, Oklahoma, one of the main crude depots in the US, was down 40% from the start of the year. Other EIA data shows that crude oil inventories across the country remain subdued: A crunch in domestic oil supply and stockpiles coupled with a rise in demand leads to higher gas prices. Energy markets around the world are in a crunch In addition to domestic oil supply slowing down, oil and energy markets overseas also aren't helping matters on the supply front. OPEC and other major oil-exporting countries have repeatedly agreed to only modest increases in production, despite oil consumers like the US and India pushing for higher exports, according to CNBC. The cartel most recently agreed to increase production by just 400,000 barrels per day in December, after President Joe Biden directly called for more production to ease rising prices. But it's a delicate balance, as shown by some cartel members' response to Biden and other world leaders tapping their strategic oil reserves: a reported pause in ramping up production. It also shows how the cartel of oil exporters still holds a huge amount of power in global oil markets, even as the US has vastly increased production over the last decade and countries around the world begin the process of moving toward greener energy sources. Broader energy markets have been facing supply shortages as well. European natural gas and electricity prices have skyrocketed, and traders expect higher oil and other energy prices for months to come. Russia, a key provider of natural gas to the EU, has held back on increased deliveries to the West, keeping prices volatile and high. Put together surging demand from the US reopening with supply crunches both domestic and global, and it should be no surprise that gas prices are spiking.
Joe Biden is directly responsible for the rise in gas prices. There's simply no question about it. Gas prices jump in Keystone Pipeline cancellation fallout Oil watchers say $4.00 per gallon gas may come before spring February 4, 2022 Oil demand is at record highs in the U.S., but domestic oil producers can't or won't catch up because they have been canceled by the Biden administration, which is feeling the sting of its own anti-energy policies. Prices at the pump hit a seven-year high of $3.41 per gallon as oil topped the $92- per-barrel level. President Biden, who canceled the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in the White House, continues to chip away at America's energy industry. Drilling moratoriums, threats for fossil fuel investors and desperate appeals to OPEC for help have contributed to rising energy prices, a major component of the inflation spike. The Biden administration has tried to backtrack on that and now is calling on the U.S. shale industry to drill the leases that they have and to add rigs, but even though the rig counts are going up, the production that's coming online is barely moving the needle. The U.S. shale industry is in need of constant investment to keep oil production going up at the same time companies have to be more fiscally responsible than they were in the past because the Biden administration's clampdown is making it almost impossible to take economic risks. Adding insult to injury, on Thursday lawmakers called on Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to limit natural gas exports. "We can’t let energy companies squeeze American consumers with unaffordable energy bills at home while reaping record profits through LNG exports abroad," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in a statement. "The Department of Energy needs to reevaluate its LNG export policies and figure out how to keep prices low for American consumers. Until the Department has a plan, it should consider halting permit approvals of LNG export facilities." The "ask" is a further slap in the face to American energy companies that have already been neutered by the Biden administration. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/gas-prices-jump-in-keystone-pipeline-cancellation-fallout
Wish I could find it. Not tech-adept enough, but I said on this forum during the election that if Biden were elected that we would have $5.00 a gallon gas within two years and I would say he is well on course....... Joe's spin above is weak at best. Prior to Covid this nation was fully energy independent and I was paying two bucks a gallon...... It is folly to believe that shutting down major pipelines and hamstringing energy producers wouldn't have a negative effect on cost and availability. A person would have to be drinking very deeply of the Koolaid to believe otherwise.
