Gas prices have gone up 80 cents a gallon since Biden took office and will go up at least another. 50 to $1. 00 per gallon in the next few months. Oil prices have gone up from $38 to $62 per barrel since Biden too office This hurts the low income families the most.
I am sure your news outlets will dispute this and it is Trumps fault that Biden killed the oil industry.

Posts: 657Trump Promises To Give Everyone $2,001 Checks If he's Elected President Again
"WEST PALM Beach, FL—With many voters around the country disappointed that Biden hasn't given them $2,000 yet, Trump seized the political opportunity to promise that if he's elected in 2024, he will ensure every American receives a stimulus check for $2,001 dollars.
"Sleepy Joe promised a $2,000 stimulus, and where is it?" said Trump in a statement from his Mar-a-Lago resort. "Total disgrace. Too busy bombing people in Syria maybe, who knows! Everyone knows I would do a better job of passing stimulus than Sleepy Joe. I'll even do better! $2,001 dollars! How does that sound?
Biden was so outraged by Trump's taunt that he challenged him to a soda-drinking contest at the local five & dime.
According to experts, the presidential race in 2024 will just be a large auction where candidates outbid each other to buy everyone's votes with printed money. Presidential hopeful AOC set a high bar this morning by tweeting a promise of infinity dollars to every American. . ."

Posts: 690Oil industry investment returns
For years, companies pledged sky-high returns even when oil was as low as $50 a barrel. But those promises were never kept. Over the past decade, shale oil and gas producers burned through more than $300 billion in capital spending above the cash generated from oil revenues, according to Deloitte LLP. That resulted in massive flows of oil but little in the way of financial returns to investors.

ERCOT says 46,000 megawatts were offline as of Wednesday. There are 70 to 80 power plants offline as of Wednesday, out of 680 across the state. Thermal energy -- natural gas, coal and nuclear -- made up 28,000 of those megawatts while wind and solar made up the other 16,000.
"The ability for gas generators to produce, particularly at full output, was affected by the freezing impact on the natural gas supply," Bill Magness, ERCOT president and CEO, said during a livestream Wednesday. "So getting those resources back is the central solution to getting people their power back. ".
Approximately 40% of generators went offline due to the cold weather. The significant drop in power generated led to rolling blackouts across the state as ERCOT tried to keep a balance between the supply and demand in order to prevent a "catastrophic" blackout. This made the outage last much longer than ERCOT anticipated.
As for prepping power plants for extreme cold to prevent generators from freezing, Dan Woodfin, senior director of system operations for ERCOT, says there are national standards being considered, but they have yet to be mandatory.

CounterPunch is a magazine published six times per yea in the United States that covers politics in a manner its editors describe as "muckraking with a radical attitude". It has been described as left-wing.
That is why you liberals are anti American.
CNN now calls Trump cages for children Migratory residences because Biden is using them.
If you think frozen wind mills generate energy with no wind and solar generates energy in the dark then you are a good socialist.

Posts: 657Biden Clarifies That Stimulus Checks Are 'Just An Idea'
"Washington, the. See. —As more and more Americans start wondering where the $2,000 stimulus checks Joe Biden promised are, especially as he's now decided to start meddling in Syria, Biden issued a statement today clarifying that the stimulus checks were "just an idea."
"The stimulus checks, see, they're just an idea," he said, shrugging off claims that the stimulus checks were supposed to be actual checks sent to Americans. "They're more of a metaphor. You might say the real stimulus checks were just the countries we bombed along the way, Jack. The real stimulus checks, ya see, they were inside us all along."
"You there, the grrr-- the girl with the pretty hair," he said, gesturing toward a reporter in the front row. "You're a stimulus check. And you, the guy with the mustache -- you're a stimulus check. In a way, all of us are stimulus checks when we live according to the American values of love, progress, and unity. We can all become the stimulus checks we wish to see in the world."
Biden's statement brought everyone in the room to tears, and Snopes quickly fact-checked his claim that the stimulus checks were never intended to be literal but were always "just an idea" as "double-plus true."

Posts: 657NB: Babylon Bee is a Humor / Satire News Outlet. News: Divorce Lawyer Helps Hungry
Heart warming divorce lawyer story.
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass. " "Well, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there eating grass under that tree. " "Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the second poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also. " The other man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!" "Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you. ".
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high. ".
Come on, Man! . . . did you really think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story? Look at Congress -- over 300 Lawyers! Biden is a lawyer and if you are hungry, come on over to his mansion. He has a big lawn with lots of grass that needs trimming! LOL.
"Biden Will Be First Lawyer-President Without a JD From the 'T-14' in a Century" Joe Biden earned his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, while Kamala Harris graduated from the University of California Hastings College of the Law in 1989. By Karen Sloan.
