I'm sure shutting down pipelines and then paying russia for oil didn't factor into that.

The fool actually is begging OPEC and now groveling to China to release oil for us...totally embarrassing...

U.S. Asks China To Release More Oil From Its Reserves
By Irina Slav - Nov 17, 2021, 9:00 AM CST
During a virtual meeting this week, U.S. President Biden has asked his Chinese counterpart to release more crude oil from its reserves
China released gasoline and diesel from its reserves earlier this month to halt a price rise in some parts of the country

Why is moron boy already quietly taping the strategic oil reserve (according to Bloomberg)  but sending it to...China?!!!!

U.S. Is Already Exporting Oil From Strategic Reserve at Record Pace

(Bloomberg) -- If the Biden Administration decides to tap U.S. emergency crude reserves to push down domestic energy prices, it may not help all that much. The supplies may just be exported away like last month.

About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- a monthly record -- was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia.

?Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release -- 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels -- it?s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead,? said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.

The White House has been mulling a range of options to ease soaring pump prices and Democrats are pressing for a potential ban on oil exports as well as the release of crude from the nation?s strategic reserves.

Awesome!! It?s dollar and a quarter tree now! So 99 cent store will soon be 125 cent store?.Just rolls off the tongue, huh? 

Dollar Tree hikes prices 25%. Most items will cost $1.25

The company ? one of America's last remaining true dollar stores ? said Tuesday it will raise prices from $1 to $1.25 on the majority of its products by the first quarter of 2022. The change is a sign of the pressures low-cost retailers face holding down prices during a period of rising inflation.
Dollar Tree (DLTR) said in a quarterly earnings release Tuesday that its decision to raise prices to $1.25 permanently, however, was "not a reaction to short-term or transitory market conditions."

Powell has announced that he is retiring the term 'transitory'... not because he was wrong mind you, but because Americans were too dumb to understand what he meant.
 
Any word with more than three syllables and you'll lose most of the crowd completely. "Kardashian" being one of the few exceptions.
 
Nothing to see here?.

'Inflation will ease over time, whatever you want to call it': Psaki DOWNPLAYS soaring prices and accuses Republicans of 'screaming from bullhorn' - after Fed Chair Powell warned it could get worse


Psaki stood by the Biden administration's months-old line that the 31-year high in consumer prices is merely temporary in comments to reporters aboard AF1
That's despite Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicating otherwise just hours earlier
The press secretary also said Republicans had 'no plan' to fix inflation
Markets dropped as Powell testified before the Senate Banking Committee
During the hearing he acknowledged that soaring inflation isn't 'transitory'
He said inflation pressures were 'high' and the economy is 'strong'
Powell's remarks raised the possibility of future interest rate hikes
He also raised 'downside risks to employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation' amid the new Omicron COVID variant

Let me guess. Is it the unvaccinated indirectly causing inflation or climate change or racial justice or gender discrimination or abortion ban or guns?
Looks like this administration has lost sight on reality. When you cannot put food on the table or keep the house warm in winter, no body cares about climate change, EVs, racial or gender injustice or abortion or gun debate.

Far right wing "logic".
 
How focusing on the economy is far right?

Far right agenda would be the opposite of what I just said. Drill baby drill.
Ban gay marriage
Promote white supremacy
Expel gun control laws
Etc

This administration's priority is so far left that are going to piss off majority of the electorates, at least the alive ones.

Akula your comments are almost anecdotal

1. Cant put food on the table? Are you sure? There are so many jobs available with higher pay than before for the retail workers and others.
2. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is putting environmental concerns among his top priorities for a second year as his $96.6 billion budget proposal released Thursday includes $2.2 billion for priorities such as the Everglades restoration, water quality issues, and managing growth.

3. majority of Americans understand that climate change is a problem. A recent poll found that about six in 10 adults in the United States say the effects of global warming are already happening and a slightly greater proportion believe human activities are to blame for the Earth?s rise in temperature. Another study found that 65% of Americans believe that climate change is an emergency.

what the f.....?

anyway, let's throw politics out of this for a second. If you were president dealing with a pandemic, what would you have done better to prevent the supply chain bottlenecks that are transpiring? What can you do when China decides to shut off their ports on ONE covid case found? What can you do when there is a shortage in truck drivers? What can you do when the demand for oil was non-existent during lockdowns and now with the economy slowly reopening but all these variants keep popping up? You aren't sure whether to drill more or not. Drilling too much means prices may go down if variants causes more deaths. Drilling too little means you run into price increases. Everyone wants to make this all political, but in the end, it's not as simple as it sounds.

Uh... supply chain?

Price is the intersection of supply & demand - Econ 101

You are only citing half of the equation. 

Overstimulation of demand is the other half, and the President does have control over stimulus spending, as well as who helms the Fed.
