    Actually, you are. The whole scenario you're commenting on is a product of your own imagination. All I said is mass transportation. Anything about a bus is yours.

    You never do, even when it's right in front of you.
    Except the states that take more than they give.

    Oil and gas companies are increasingly self-insured.

    Here’s the problem;

    Headline; The Permian Basin is ground zero to billion of dollars in zombie oil wells

    “Texas and New Mexico have already identified about 7,000 abandoned wells that were once operated by over 1,000 companies”

    ————-

    Startups, former Big Oil employees who have drilled less than 10 wells, NO GUSHERS, ran out of money, and have disappeared faster than Monica Lewinski’s lip gloss.

    psst; I’ve known a few of them

    Well why don't you tell us how people that live out in the country can use mass transportation?

    Go ahead and tell us how that's going to work for people to get back and forth to work or to go back to the store quickly and grab a couple of items.

    Oh that's right.... Either just buy an electric car and shut up and eat the bugs or move into the city like a good boy.

    Own your own business and need to drive a 100 miles a day? Just shut up and take mass transportation.

    At least in my imagination I know that that won't work in reality but in your imagination that sounds like a very good idea.

    I mean really.... Who the hell needs to have their own car to drive around? Bunch of selfish conservative, bastards that's who !!!

    Well, you either didn't read posts before that or you're ignoring the subject and context of those posts.
    BTW, what's on topic with yours?

    How would that have changed the narrative of you reply?

    In fact, now you're doing nothing but attacking me, and not addressing the topic of the thread :roll:

    I just want to remind people of something Biden said. Remember how he frequently says people making less than $400k won't get a tax increase? Well, he's raising the royalties (essentially a tax) on oil profits which will be passed along to everyone in the country, including POC who he and Harris constantly champion for.

    Easy, they can't. They never have been able to. I would have thought that would be an obvious point.
    Mass transportation has been around for a long, long time. Are you seriously telling me you don't know how it works?
    Yeah......pretty much.You could get a horse again. What's your rebuttal? FREEDOM!! That's the usual crap from the right.
    Or your electric car like you just said.
    Not surprised. In your "reality" everyone should be carrying a gun. FREEDOM!!!
    In most cases, conservative's ARE selfish but in this case the problem you brought up is unique to Americans.

    Wait, we're producing more oil than we ever have in history and you think Biden is waging a "war on oil"? How does that make sense? What has he done? He's been better for the oil industry that Trump ever was, or would be.
    Trump crashed the oil market with his "deals" and put more US oil companies out of business than any President and in an effort to "work a deal" pissed of OPEC+ which is why the gas prices (along with the war in Ukraine) went so high. That disaster on his part just ended recently.
    Seriously, get a clue.

    Price gouging is when businesses raise prices to an unfair level during or after an emergency or disaster.

    No, they were falling until Obama repealed the ban on oil exports.

    The highest gas price increases I've seen in my life have come under Biden and Obama, and Obama wanted to bankrupt the gas companies, there's a video of him saying that. No, wait, he was talking about coal plants. The left hates both.

    That isn’t what I said. Try again. If you reread it a few more times I have faith you will figure it out

    Well, Biden’s 60-day moratorium could be labeled as a war on oil, however, the truth is; In 2021, NOTHING Biden or Trump could have done to increase crude oil production AT PAR with demand.

    Reference to the cancellation of Keystone XL; Back then, I WAS A PROJECT COORDINATOR for a Big Oil&Gas, and I took part in this project.

    Thus, if you or anyone else have a question that relates to the cancellation of Keystone X, I will answer truthfully.

    what?

    “— why do we pay so much more than other large producers?"

    Explain.
