there's no reason gas should be $4.30 instead of $2.60 like before. usa only gets 2% of its oi from hormuz. usa invaded venezuela months ago and gave "custodianship" of its oil to usa oil companies. and, usa is oil self sufficient. all of this means gas should have gone DOWN, not up. it should literally be $1.99 or less right now because Venezuela was selling gas to their citizens for only $0.13/gallon before invasion.
When the hormuz supply dropped, other buyers bid up the remaining supply.
>>535821864American companies don't exist to serve American consumers.The price of oil is determined by what it is globally.Are you retarded?Why would they sell to you at an advantaged price?
>>535821864Corporations have the right and they're obliged to make the most profit by selling their product to the highest bidder. When the global price for oil is over $4 per gallon, asking the state to intervene and force corporations to sell it to you at $2 is LITERALLY communism.
>>535822596>>535822610zogslave mindset
>>535822610>asking the state to intervene and force corporations to sell it to you at $2 is LITERALLY communism.fucking based
>>535822596Oh idk because we’re fucking Americans? As the other anon said you sound like a goy zogslave. Countries should look out for their own people’s interests.
>>535822761>>535821864Fucking commie, why are you so anti-capitalist?
>>535822610Telling an oil company that an U.S. natural resource must stay stateside is a legitimate stance by the U.S. government.
>>535823578>Countries should look out for their own people’s interestsFucking commie, why don't you support your trillionaire's and their obligation to shareholders to maximize profits??
>>535822610You really put the "douche" in 'Fiduciary responsibility"
>>535823626They won't answer that they're too busy watching their significant other get railed in the pooper by a big black buck
>>535823669>shareholdersDid you know (You) are free to go get a job, buy some shares in any publicly traded oil comany and become a shareholder yourself? It's cool, it's like seizing the means of production except everybody doesn't have to starve or be lined up and shot.
>>535821864The oil companies dont sell oil exclusively to the american people. Its sold on the global market. This is why trump doesnt give a fuck if prices are up.
>>535823767is that a big line in tel aviv?
>>535823626Be nice, he doesnt know what the word means.
>>535823868how big is your investment portfolio?
>>535821864I LOVE THAT GAS IS $5. IT NEEDS TO BE EVEN HIGHER. It's worth it to watch liberals piss and shit themselves over it. ahahahahah
>>535821864This is a comment that I actually love because it just show the majority of the US in a nutshell. This is the same type of understanding as they had, and still have, when it comes to tariffs.It is so fascinating so see how little understanding beyond their nosetip they have when it comes to basic high school economy.>Should be no reason why gas is this highYeah, I could tell you the reason why, but I wont since people deserve to live in la la land while trying their hardest to understand what most average teens world wide understands. Fascinating as hell.Guess what America, look forward to November/December. Thank Trump then because if you complain about prices now, whohoo, you gonna be fucking broke as hell at the end of the year.
>>535823868Well yes I'm not a fucking commie unlike (You) and OP
>>535823868I'm glad commies are broke, or they would buy shares and implode companies.
>>535823966Around 350,000. Had a great year with a gold mining stock.
>>535824259that's it? kek.
>>535821864>>535822761I'll melt it down into a concept both you can understand.I have two customers.Let's call one Mr American and one Mr European.Mr American only offers to pay $1.99 for gas.Mr European is desperate and offers to pay $4.30 for gas.Who do I, as a businessman aiming to make the most profit, do I sell to?How do you compete with Mr European?Well Mr American has to bid up his offer to at least $4.30.So now you pay $4.30.>but just don't sell to EuropeWhy would I as a businessman do that?Businesses don't have nationality or a sense of loyalty.Are you learning the downsides of capitalism yet?
>>535822761This geopolitical order exists to keep you poor and enslaved, and that's why your oil will exists at the price it does. Its also why living in the west and in economic zones like Australia is such a miserable experience. They create laws that limit your options to working for the central banking system and its corporations, who then tax everything you earn so that you barely survive on the essentials, regardless of your education, skills, or hard work.It's a slave pen, with laws created and enforced by slaves of the ZOG (Zionist Occupation Government). You won't understand politics, media, or the false left vs right, communism vs capitalism dichotomies unless you first acknowledge this reality. All issues related to minority rights, racism, and political correctness are fabricated by the thieving corporation and its debt-based central banking slavery system.Everything else that you engage with from politics, to work, to civil rights are all worthless endeavours and simply exists to entertain or occupy the thoughts of slaves. The very legal system represents a tool of entrenching criminality, theft of the worst elements of humanity.
>>535821864
>>535822596Because we are Americans you dumb brown backhole
>>535821864The oil companies want us to believe that the yearly increase in their profit margins is a vital Law of NatureNewton just didn't get around to that.Just like when the Israelis say It's time to mow the lawnBig Oil says its time to milk the cow.
>>535821864Damn almost like crude and refined oil products are traded globally
>>535822596>Why would they sell to youBecause the law requires them to. It doesn’t now but congress could easily see to it that it does. Obviously…..
>>535821864you keep buying it.the TV jew made you swallow the expensive gas pill. the price will go down or stay only if you mutts stop taking it.
Gas should be at $1.50c like it was for all of the 90's and into the 00's until, conveniently, several months AFTER we were bombing Iraq in like 03. IT's been a rollercoaster ride ever since, with 'speculators' and 'sudden shortages' and other wild shenenagins all to hand wave the people asking the questions of wtf are you trying to pull here?
Only good goys who die for israel get cheap gas
>>535824259Lmao you're really pulling strings huh. Cant even shoot for the stars in your lies
>>535821864kek you haven't seen anything yet. Fuel prices went up to $6 in the US when Russia invaded Ukraine, and in that case the actual disruption of oil supply was negligible. The Hormuz crisis is orders of magnitude worse, but the US government is keeping the price down through a combination of strategic petroleum reserve releases and manipulation of oil futures. Expect shit to hit the fan when SPR reserves start running out in a couple months.
>>535824612Yeah wtf?? It's like supply chain disruptions have an effect on the price?!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK?!!And why aren't the super corpos running the goy farm, selling the gas to americans below market price?!!!WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!!!
>>535824445So why not just force those businesses to sell us gasoline at 10 cents a gallon or just give it away for free?>>535824603>The oil companiesYou are 100% free to go get a job and buy stock in whichever oil company you believe is going to give you good returns.>>535824648>congress could easily see to it that it does.Why doesn't congress just make a law saying that everybody in the USA gets to have free gasoline?
>>535821864>there's no reason gas should be $4.30 instead of $2.60there is most definitely a reasonbecause we are getting fucking scalped, that's whyplebe gouging by globalist corps is the name of the game these days, where you been anon?
>>535824737What do you want me to tell you, that I'm a multi-millionaire with an 18 inch cock or that I'm a bitter failure sitting in mom's basement bitching about $4 a gallon unleaded?
>>535822610>>535823537Actually it's literally fascism. When the government steals from the people it's communism; when the government steals from businesses it's fascism.It's also called "protectionism" and "good sense". I cba to look up prices, but I'm pretty sure as bad as it is in the US, it is still cheaper than the rest of the world, but maybe that's because we don't have to transport it as far
>>535824919Just want you to admit that >>535823868Is a retarded post in the context of discussion about who dictates corporate policy and who realizes the returns from those decisions.
>>535824700If you don't need it for war, you don't really need it
>>535824648but that's like, communism or something
>>535825039>when the government steals from businesses it's fascismfascism is when the corporate heads help steer government"Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism, for it is the marriage of corporate and state power"-Mussoliniwhen the government protects the oligarchs, directs state funds to support them at the expense of plebes who own businesses, pursues high regulatory standards that the small entities have difficulty complying with......when the government bails out the big corporate entities and leaves all the small businesses hung out to dry and close up shotp......when globohomo has a CRE problem and then your state makes a law saying if you have any sort of food service business you must have a corporate rent, for cleanliness sake of course...this is fascism
>>535824862Not to be Mr. Leave The Multi-billion Dollar Corporation Alone, but oil extraction has indeed gotten more complicated since gas was $1.50/gal. Stuff like fracking means putting a lot more money down the hole to get the black gold out, all the easy stuff is used up. This should be and is reflected in increased prices. Of course, greed is taking a cut too, but that's capitalism for you: it sucks but at least everyone isn't starving.
>>535825127>who dictates corporate policy The shareholders. (You) could spend $150 right now and own 1 share of Exxon Mobil.>who realizes the returns from those decisions.Literally everybody who purchased shares of Exxon Mobil.Realistically most white adults with jobs are already getting returns on this by way of index funds or other investment baskets, but people who are savvy enough to see oil companies (and tobacco companies) as under-valued for the past several years (due to ESG ratings weighing them low) bought low, as did people who typically want to own "Blue Chip" investments.The point remains, (You) can go get a job right now, and buy into whatever big greedy corporation you feel is running an infinite free money glitch and reap the profits and gains.
>>535825314>muh peak oilfake and gaythis is just>let's see how many times we can make this ratchet click as we tighten shit down on the plebes
>>535825380Retard, even with your monster portfolio thst you definitely weren't lying about, you're still exerting functionally zero control over the company’s decision making. You shouldn’t need this spoonfed across multiple posts
>>535823968>I LOVE THAT GAS IS $5. IT NEEDS TO BE EVEN HIGHER. It's worth it to watch liberals piss and shit themselves over it. ahahahahahI imagine this is affecting the rural red more than the libs, but you do you.If you want to pay $10/gal of diesel, then don't be surprised when your farm is bankrupt in a few months.
>>535825811>you're still exerting functionally zero control over the company’s decision makingThat's fine, because I know absolutely fuck-all about how to run an oil company. If they stop performing I'll doomp eet and buy something better. The point remains, if (You) believe some publicly traded corporation is running some kind of infinite free money glitch, just get a fucking job and buy stock so that you can enjoy a piece of the pie. I'm not the one e-crying about having to spend an extra $20 a month on gasoline here. Sort yourself the fuck out.
>>535826271Nobody said anything like infinite free money glitch. You thought you were teaching people shit but you actually just got confused about the discussion because you're multiple steps behind.
>>535826921>Nobody said anything like infinite free money glitch.OK, or "record profits" or "price gouging" or whatever you believe is happening.Again, the point being if you feel some company is raking in the dough just get a job and buy a stake in that company so that you can enjoy some of the profits and gains.I'm going to head out and finish putting in my garden now. Enjoy the rest of your day getting angry at bots and jeets on social media.
