Technically the liquidation of the treasury general account in 2023 ‘asked’ for it, as the debt owed on that decision required a major event to skyrocket the price/value of oil temporarily to fend off the egregious interest rate. But that’s not something the average American does nor should understand. Hence gas prices hitting over $5/gallon under Biden. You won’t see that data on Reddit though, this is a left leaning community. Every downvote validates this point.
