Makes sense to me, really hard to keep ******** out of this, but both explain it differently, but we've been hunkered down for 2 years now, hard to remember how it used to be.

I know I won't be starting a go fund me for the oil companies anytime soon. Don't really consider this political. They pull this stuff no matter who is in.

Oil and gas wasn’t a issue between 2016-2020. Just saying…

One political party wants to do away with the use of fossil fuels. A former presidential candidate of that party wrote in his book:"The biggest threat to the planet is the internal combustion engine." We can try to avoid political posts, but the fact is, political decisions affect every aspect of our daily lives and that certainly includes our ability to enjoy racing.

Oil companies are at record profits for the last 7 years. It is not ******** it is greed.

From 2009 to 2020 oil prices have been reasonably stable

All other things held equal, inflation guarantees record everything every year.

Facts, not ********.

"The price of oil is set in the global marketplace. Oil is traded globally and can move from one market to another easily by ship, pipeline, or barge. As a result, the supply/demand balance determines the price for crude oil around the world."

Oil companies do not control the demand for crude oil.

It is fact, not ********, that the present administration is doing everything it can to depress the domestic supply of crude oil and natural gas. Even so far as pressuring Wall Street to not make capital available for oil and gas exploration and production.

Do the math.
