The same amount of experience you have, my dude. Plus, I have read your BS for long enough to know that no matter the source cited or people experienced in the field, you're going to turn your attention to trying to saying the source is bullshit. It's what dumbasses do. The shoe fits.

Members of Congress from both parties are politicizing and spreading bad information on the energy crisis resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Given the acrimony in U.S. politics today, this isn’t surprising, but misinformation on the real cause of high gasoline prices is a disservice to U.S. citizens. Democrats blame the oil and gas industry and Republicans blame President Joe Biden, but global market forces are the real culprit. Better understanding of the energy system, among policymakers and ordinary people, is crucial as the United States and world strive to transition to a system with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Rising U.S. gasoline prices are the result of global oil market conditions.

Last week a friend from Uganda told me that gasoline prices have risen by 50% there. I asked him who the people blame. “Our President.” So, there you have it. Uganda’s President is behind the rise in gasoline prices.
Not really. But it goes to show that it is natural for any country to blame their leaders for increases in gasoline prices.
As I have argued previously, there are few handles the U.S. President has that can impact gasoline prices in the short term.

The
late-summer surge in gasoline prices is heightening the risks that inflation poses for President Joe Biden, and offering Republicans a new chance to pin the blame on his green agenda.
The GOP narrative has a major hole: U.S. oil production — already the highest in the world — is on track to set a new record this year, and will probably rise even more in 2024. But the ever-increasing flow of U.S. crude has failed to keep a lid on gasoline prices, showing once again that a global market drives the fuel prices that shape presidents’ political futures.
And that means events far beyond the nation’s borders will play a sizable role in voters’ verdict on “Bidenomics” — as global oil prices rise and fall in response to
banking conditions in Europe, China’s slumping
real estate market, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine and the latest maneuvers by Saudi Arabia.

I think it gets to the people who will listen. Some people are just so dug in to their political beliefs that it does not matter what you say. But people who are more independent, like myself, I'm an independent. I'm very open minded. I'll listen to anybody on any of their beliefs and take that in.
