We went from being energy independent for the first time in many decades to having gas shortages in a little over four months.

Yeah, because there was no indication of vulnerability to cyber attack before Biden took office, and he should have been able to eliminate that vulnerability in less than 4 months.

Only pirates should price gouge. Did I mention I am selling a gallon for $50/6 rolls of TP/3 2x4s?

One station in my town ran out and instead of taking the price down on the sign, the employee on duty changed it to $9.98, immediately triggering media reports of price gouging. Oops."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

$7/gallon for a few gallons is something that someone who really is in need of a couple gallons will pay, while those who merely want to fill up a half dozen gas cans they just bought so they can horde it as well as those who already topped off their tank twice that day already, would pass on.

But don't let anyone dare hold old Joe to a similar standard. That would be unfair.

Of course not. Prices always go up during an economic recovery. But we were talking about gas shortages.

If you want to give TFG the credit for the fall in gas prices last year, then you have to give him credit for the economic damage caused by the pandemic. Because, you know, cause and effect.
