Gas prices from around the world (what each country is paying per gallon relative to the US dollar)

"Relative to the US dollar".....derp!

If it is relative to the US dollar then US inflation is driving global inflation.

 

Ever been to Mexico. The Government totally controls oil drilling, refining, and retail sales. How well do you suppose that works? And lets not stop there. How bout if the government takes over food production, building houses (so we could all live in a project), making appliances, cars, and so forth. You know, like the old USSR. We could run our production based on a government developed 5 year plan. That would work great wouldn't it.

 

Thanks to the US you are not speaking Japanese. Show some gratitude.

 

You provided the link in your post, so you're saying it has no relevancy?

Again from your link?


Clearly our Government doesn't have to control to subsidize They do it all the time!

 

Shipping

 

I’m confident we can manage our resources better than Mexico. And no, I don’t wanna take over the private sector. I just want to keep what comes out of public land for the public.

 

We will never do that with US oil because US oil companies can get more money from their oil on the open Markets at the prices set by OPEC

The oil companies DON'T want the US to be oil independent. Do you honestly think US oil companies will sell their oil cheaper in the US than they can get on the world markets ?

 

But let’s let govt regulate reproductive rights lol

 

Perfect Post

 

And the was the pretty much the justification for the extermination of the Aboriginals And people think white supremacy is a American thing

Least you were honest tho!

 

I believe that is left up to the will of the people in each state now, right! There is no law of the land and each state and those folks living in them will be the determining factor now!

 

This is why people are so uninformed, instead of research they take misinformation and pass it along to the other misinformed

Our government does regulate everything from soup to nuts and import and exports are at the top of the list Nothing is exported or imported without some sort of license or some Governmental regulation!

 

Yah the state govts will decide. Because govt know best! Right?

 

Guy You don't know how state laws work, really! How is it cannabis in legal in some states and not in other? Abortion will follow the same process, the will of the people..

Damn, all this time I thought much better of you, as of late, DANG BRO!

 

Why complain about govt competence then want govt to dictate medical care for women?

 

Who's complain other than you Guy

 

You’re clearly not grasping the obvious point I’m making. So NM

 

Oh it's obvious, you just don't like being exposed to it

 

Subsidies are when the government pays for production costs of a particular good. When you subsidize oil, it doesn't necessarily mean oil companies will increase production, or sell their oil to American consumers at a price that equalizes what they are for in production. Part of the reason why OPEC members subsidize their oil so heavily is because their oil companies are nationalized. Their government is not only paying for production, but they are also controlling where that oil is sent to, and how much it will be sold for.

As addressed in the quote you have posted twice now.. This doesn’t happen in the U.S., however, because the government doesn’t control the cost of oil or gasoline like countries that are members of OPEC

Again, before discussing this, it is important to understand what they are actually talking about. OPEC members control the cost of their oil because that oil isn't owned by the private sector, it is owned by the government. Subsidies alone don't necessarily give government control over costs, subsidies are increased government spending to pay for production costs. That's it

 

I know what subsidies are Sort of how the Government want to use taxpayer money to have charging stations place across the U.S.! Like I say, subsidies are hardly a new concept in this nation's history!

 

Kind like that, but also a bit different. Charging stations are a part of local infrastructure, where as subsidies are when the government is paying for production of a particular good. It doesn't necessarily increase access or production, it merely cheapens the cost of production for the companies who produce that particular good. This can reduce the cost of that particular good, but there is no guarantee that the decrease will be equal to the expense of the subsidy, unless the government controls costs for that particular good

 

We don't need to go at this at length Pard! We both know how everyday Government subsidies worked over the last century

 

Please tell me you're being rhetorical?! Or... or are you suggesting that we do EXACTLY what Venezuela did with their oil? Yeah... That worked brilliantly for the people of Venezuela...
