What policies or regulations would you specifically suggest that Biden pursue to ease gas prices?

Do you think he should, for example, reverse the moratorium on offshore drilling in the waters off both Florida coasts and off the shores of Georgia and South Carolina for 10 years that Trump signed on September 9th 2020? It was widely viewed as a political stunt in an election year anyway. Would that make you happy?

Maybe you think he should pressure OPEC to increase production? Well, Biden has pressured OPEC and other oil-producing companies to increase production. But why have they cut production so drastically? Before Trump left office in April 2022, he brokered a deal with OPEC to cut output by 9.7 million barrels per day for two years - the single most significant output cut in history. Since then, OPEC has been reluctant to increase output except slowly.

OPEC+ keeps cautious oil production despite Biden's pressure

Clearly this problem is far more complex that many seem to be able to comprehend.

Answer: Nobody did.

All I did was point out what a raging oppportunist sleazebucket it takes to instantly and immediately start politicizing the tragedy, within minutes.  

Never let a crisis go to waste right?

But then you live for these kinds of tragedies, so you can pontificate like the rest of the leftist tools who have no answers except to take all guns from society.

What happened today is a horrible event and a tragedy and You couldn't wait to get on here and start your regular gutter slime politicization of it.

My guess is that deep down in that sick, twisted head of yours, you're grinning just a little bit, because it gives you the opportunity to use this awful occurrence to promote your leftist politics.

It takes a real lowlife
