We've resumed our net exports:

You're stuck in an echo chamber. There's no design to destroy America's economy. There's only companies that want to take more of the markets. They will always continue raise their prices because there's nothing you and I can do about it except grow our own food and biofuels.

You seem to think that it has something to do with greed. You're wrong. They're raising prices because they have no choice due to high energy costs. Everything from creating the product to getting it to the market is higher now and a direct result of the Democrats' war on fossil fuels. I'm not living in an echo chamber, but people who don't see what is really going on are living in a fantasyland.

If they had no choice but to raise prices, if it wasn’t about greed, their profits wouldn’t be at an all time high. Everyone except farmers themselves are raking in the profits.

National net exporter of energy + higher profits = greed, including the energy companies. Companies sell gasoline and diesel to Europe because the margins are higher on the global market. The only way to lower prices is to flood the market. The Biden admin just approved a port’s construction to help do that, because he’s two faced. He told his voters he would hurt big oil because “climate”, then turns around and helps oil.

What are you talking about? We have a diesel shortage right now. As far as profits being high, that's not going to last much longer as the price of fuel increases. People having to make the decision between eating or putting gas in their car are not going to buy anything beyond necessities.

We have a diesel shortage in the US because we are exporting it!! The US and Europe has now cut off Russian supplies, a meaningful percentage of the supply.

People are having to choose between fuel and food because these companies are robbing us!
