If we didn't have Corporations, who would we work for? People like you don't employ anyone!
Biden Now Says He CAN Impact Gas Prices

No but he ensures two or three nurses have work in the old timers ward
18 cents, on 5 bucks, is 3.6%
not much help, but better than nothing, if the full cut is passed to consumers

That's the rub. If it happens, sure, they'll drop prices $0.18. But there's no real way to know what they'll do afterwards. They could hike it back, or drop it less than what they would have otherwise. Invisible Hand something something...
1) Approve more refineries and pipelines with fast-track provisions for American-funded projects
2) Eliminate onerous regulatory burdens
3) Get FERC out of the business of choosing winners and losers in energy production
4) Fire John Kerry and his climate cult

i notice you didn't dispute what i said, just the usual "hey look over there", let's change the subject, and shoot the messenger, BS.
i've never, i repeat never, been anti corporation.
just anti unregulated corporations in a free market capitalistic environment, absent anti trust/monopolistic protections, in a Plutocracy where money and corporations can legally buy govt.
i worked for mega corps for decades.
some i was proud to work for at that time.
but times have changed.
while not all corps were ever the same, they are more the same now than 20 or 30 or 50 yrs ago.
and virtually none behave the same today as they did decades ago, absent the the worst behaviors back then.
all others are now forced to behave as bad or worse, as the worst back then.
corporations are inanimate entities.
how good/beneficial vs evil they are, is 100% dependent on how good/beneficial they are forced to be, and how evil they are allowed to be, by the govt and humans who regulate/govern them.
that said, once corps can buy govt, thus their own regulatory situation, an evil catch 22 not only becomes possible, but rather guaranteed.
on top of that, once the owners and/or "controllers" of the shares become inanimate entities themselves, or representing someone/something other than themselves, as with mega funds, the original "corporate" concept and how it works/behaves, gets perverted into a whole different thing that is then operating on autopilot, as if effectively controlled by an artificial intelligence type scenario being controlled by an algorithm programmed to one end.
and corporations themselves, and all those who work for them, have no control over how they behave, zero, only the humans in govt with the ability and duty to regulate them do.
but if/when said humans themselves become controlled/regulated by the corporation itself, rather than vice versa, which is the situation we now find ourselves in, (thanks you SCOTUS total scum PsOS), at that point a vicious cycle not only becomes possible, but inevitable.
we are now in that vortex.
the working and middle class realize something has gone wrong, they just can put their finger on exactly what went down, but they see the result.
the Pubs blame the Dems, the Dems blame the Pubs.
the algorithm keeps it that way.
don't shoot the messenger.
This right here. Perv Joe suspends $.15 gas tax. Oil compnay says WHOOHOO an extra $.15 of clear profit, the US gov income drops by that much. Joe is outraged that his plan didn't work. The gas companies say F#$k you, you already told us that you are trying to kill our industry and put hundreds of thousands of our employees jobless while they learn to code. F@#K you, we are paying our share holders until you come close the doors on us.
How does this play out for Uncle Joe ? I have a pretty good idea. Maybe Kamalalala could swoop in and blow it all away? I don't think even Willy brown would be interested at this point.
The problem is, all 4 make Green renewable energy/ transportation fiscally improbable for 50 years. Their "plan" can't wait that long. They need stranded subservient poor folk, to maintain their power. If they let the free market and free spirit control the future, THEY are the stranded subservient poor folk... That aint gonna happen brother.
agree with some of that, but if you think Joe isn't working for big oil and Wall St, you aren't paying attention.
How in the world could you, or anyone, think that I don't think that they are all on the take? They all are performing a balancing act of serving several masters and profiting nicely from all of them. We elect the loudest under performers who are by nature the easiest bought.... Becuase they are, in normal life, NON PERFORMERS.
I totally disagree with you prefering to be an ultra liberal, but the level of corruption of ALL sides of our elected private sector rejects and who controls them. I'm all aboard captain!
Since the EPA hates the working man, Kentucky’s Democrat Governor today declared a state of
emergency over gas prices, which triggers laws against price gouging.
emergency over gas prices, which triggers laws against price gouging.
But answer me this: When I drive through the state on 75 next week are prices going to be lower or do I have to wait until I get to the Volunteer state?
I think it will be $4.77 south of Lexington, down from the $4.86 current state average
Cutting gas tax is stupidity. And it'll never happen anyway.
