Because ol' joe dumbass had no clue what he was doing on his first day in office, the people of America are suffering at the pumps.  Of course, THEY knew this would happen and WE knew this would happen.  Now biden wants to buy back oil and gas?  What a dipshit.

My state and my neighboring state were a huge part of that shutdown, and I hope now that our gubners tell biden to shove it when he asks these pipelines to be re-opened (and he will ask).  The gubmint is so busy handing out "free money" the workers don't really care if they go back to their former jobs or not.  And that's true of several "professions", not just the oil & gas industry. 

But of course it's fine for the elitists to use all the oil and gas they need/want to fly their private planes.  Doesn't anyone in that party recognize irony when they see it??

Guess not.
