@Hüsker Dü Please watch 2000 Mules and ask Espola what he thinks about cheating. I think I finally figured out why people thought it was ok to cheat on Trump. They were sold from Tel A Vision that t was a Nazi, was partners with Putin, had sex with a group of Moscow prostitutes and then peed all over the place afterwards. This was mainstream media at it;s finest. James from the FBI even went to the WH to let t know that word on the street was it might be true and Comey had to ask the tough question, "did you do it Mr. president?

No thanks, I’m not that stupid nor gullible. Democracy is fragile, stop trying to help blow it up.
Blow up Democracy? Your side is blowing itself up and does not need my help blowing up your mess that your side made. The lap tops from hell are insane and full of emails, texts, pics and video mines. Check this mine out Husker Du.

You believe some crazy ass shit! Take a walk. You need to start assessing people by what they do not the letter behind their name. I can list a few Republicans that I would be proud to have as president. Can you do likewise with Dems, Independents, Green Party or anyone else?

There's lots of reasons in the article as to why drilling isn't going on. There's also the fact that with oil prices as high as they are, oil companies are making record profits. Where's the incentive to increase supply and drive down prices, when you are making record profits? The oil isn't going anywhere.
From a national security perspective, it actually makes sense to leave it there too and use someone else's. That's a balancing act, but we never want to be in a situation where we've used all our oil and we are reliant on external sources.
Hmm... a couple of nice looking "what ifs" you snuck there. Yes we might run out of oil, but today we are the worlds largest oil producer. (Or maybe second, it fluctuates between us, Russia and Saudi Arabia
Also yes it is possible that despite oil currently pushing record highs, that industry insiders know something... which is prompting them to not drill so they can reap even higher prices down the road. But in actuality were heading into summer (when less oil is used) and Russia doesn't have the money to extend the war in Ukraine until next winter. So I'd say it's more likely that folks aren't pumping on this leased land because they know they won't get the oil out of the ground before prices go back down.
Which makes me wonder why they don't just say that... why the smoke and mirrors about higher prices? Something smells fishy to me with how this is being frame. And that brings me back to us as a nation presently being totally dependent on access to oil supplies, and the need for government oversight because of that.

I'm pretty sure that gas prices always go up in the summer, due to higher demand when we hit the road on vacation. That said, I noted that my local Costco regular was 0.40 a gallon cheaper at the weekend than a few weeks ago. I'm not convinced by the whole conspiracy thing, gas prices have been rising for the last year or more and the Ukraine invasion triggered a surge.
There's also the question of refining capacity, which I know nothing about, but drilling and pumping more crude has to be matched by increased refining capacity ... so if you don't have the latter, then there's no point.
No, it triggered fear, which causes folks to panic and freak out and drive up the price. Under t, we had control of our own oil and energy. JB and his Son ruined our country as did other crime families. The world is run by a few families and their bloodlines. These families want a New World Order, everyone jabbed and One Happy World, where you own nothing and are happy
I kind of like the sound of that if no one owns me.Multi Sport

Say it ain't so Joe...
"Deutsche Bank raised eyebrows earlier this month by becoming the first major bank to forecast a US recession, albeit a "mild" one.
Now, it's warning of a deeper downturn caused by the Federal Reserve's quest to knock down stubbornly high inflation.
"We will get a major recession," Deutsche Bank economists wrote in a report to clients on Tuesday."

My understanding is that in the colder months, much of the country still uses oil to heat their homes and for hot water. So in terms of consumption of oil the months where folks are driving and heating their house would be the time where fuel was in high demand.
As for summer gas price fluctuations, doesn't that have more to do with the number of refineries that were setup to refine crude into gasoline? Refiners don't want to create extra gas beyond what will be needed; so those weekends where the weather is nice and everyone wants to drive somewhere demand can exceed the supply that was anticipated. So the price goes up.
Ive started watching CNBC in the mornings and they have been dropping the R word for weeks. The Fed is going to have to try and slow the stock market if they want to try and tame inflation... so short term you'd expect stocks to go down.
Since I've been playing like I'm an expert on everything this morning let me take a moment to make the caveat that professional I'm a television editor and not a oil expert or stock market guru (i.e. don't invest your retirement on my stock tips). But my two cents are Jay Powell has been pretty good so far? So I'm hopeful for a soft landing. If folks were to take their money out of the market... where would they put it? Bonds? Real Estate? Under their mattress? Hmm... considering the alternatives the market doesn't look too bad.
People here encourage cryptocurrency. Or is that considered to be part of "the market" now?
BTW, crypto, just like any bubble-based investment vehicle, will do just fine until too many people want to cash out. Since there are no fundamental objects of value, the fall will be as limitless as the rise.

White House adviser Cedric Richmond confirmed Tuesday that he will depart President Biden’s staff for a position at the Democratic National Committee — shortly after reporting that he called left-wing Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib “f—ing idiots.”

I've always viewed dips in the market as sales and feel the same about other markets now too.
Not an analyst but I just finished an Amazon Grocery store. The tech in the store is amazing and very protected and guarded.

Same was said about trump by many very close to him, so there’s that. I must say you simply ooze hate, feelings of victimhood, with a strong penchant for vengeance. A woman scorned on steroids.

Prices go up every summer, so I think its just a question of raising the price point in the knowledge that people will pay. It would be a major "miss" of a corporation to not be able to anticipate demand every summer, forever. And its not like there's ever a shortage or a fear of a shortage.
SUMMER GASOLINE
In the warmer months, gasoline has a greater chance of evaporating from your car’s fuel system. This can produce additional smog and increased emissions. Refiners reduce the chance of gas evaporation in your car during the summer by producing gasoline blends that have lower Reid vapor pressure (RVP), or lower volatility. These blends vary from state-to-state, region-to-region due to RVP state regulations. They also vary by octane level.
Cost for your wallet: According to NACS, this higher-grade fuel can add up to 15 cents per gallon to the cost of your fill-up. This excludes the increased cost due to summer fuel demand, which can vary between 5-15c/gal, depending on region. More stringent requirements (like California) can mean an even higher cost.
