There's no doubt Bidens direction of the US government has put fear on Oil Tycoons and their future in the world. They know this and have created prices to compensate for their own future demise: https://www.washingtonpost.com/clim...23/biden-oil-drilling-permits-willow-project/

And the weather and news agencies are pushing this global warming fear onto the people so they comply with Biden. The media is in the Democrats pocket. I don't even know if I believe in global warming. It's shocking the fear tactics the media is promoting.

And the promotion of global warming is supposed to keep people steering away from the Republican government that would alleviate the inflation and gas price problem. The media is trying by all means to promote the Democrats into office. That much is clear.

So who gains from pushing global warming fear. And who gains from high gas prices. It's foolishness in my opinion not to accept the proof that money is greed for some people, power and money is all they care about.

No producer sets the price of the materials they have to buy or the cost of labor or production or transportation. But producers do set the price on the products they sell.
Not ofr oikl and its distillates as the cites I linked show you.

Well I don't think it takes a genius to figure out the gas prices. As soon as Biden shut down the pipeline and the state govs pushed electric cars, the oil tycoons decided that it was time to cash in before it's too late for them. And wala we have super high gas prices.
What pipeline?

If there is a case ....tell the audience exactly where all that profit goes? There isn't an individual owner. There is a board and investors. The CEO is under contract, the majority of his money actually comes by way of stocks. If the stock doesn't grow, he doesn't make as much.

So define where all the profit goes. I'm being entertained .....waiting . Tin Man certainly has no clue.

I agree with most of what you said, but you give money too much credit. Money is the root of "all kinds of evil", not "all evil":

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...

Since you threw your little fit, thinking you made a valid point ....What happened to all the rest of the profit you were complaining about? What you listed is a small percentage .....Once you get to that level of responsibility maybe you will enjoy the Board Level experience.....However, someone along the way, taught you that communism is best.
Those Board Members see to it that thousands earn a living world wide. You complain about spilt milk ......

When you find a liberal socialist functional argument come back to play again.

Oil Industry Refuses to Answer Questions on Gas Price Hikes Amidst Record Profits, as Experts Stress Need for New Accountability Measures

The last thing you want to count on, is a headline written by a no name journalist trying to make a headline. You certainly don't want the insane position of a Governor that refuses to tell the public why their gas taxes are so high. If California didn't demand specific blends and mixes coupled with the tax rates .....they would paying the same as people in neighboring states.

This is fun ....
They have turned off their critical thinking and fallen in line with party politics. The party that does not believe in free speech and prosecutes opinions that differ from their own.

oil price is still largely supply and demand. Limit the supply, and since oil is in a world market, price rises.
The other price determiner is government policies as in what they force suppliers to do in the business.
Opec+ also recently cut production to boost prices. And the price of a barrel went up $10 to $81.

Price for food has also risen a lot. There has been a lot of government induced inflation worldwide.

Woods salary is not what Tin Man reported. The salary package is about 1.7 million a year. Bonuses make up the rest. His total compensation before stock options was about 33 million. In other words he backed up his income due to performance.....

Every CEO at the head of every major oil company had an attorney negotiate this compensation for them. The salary and bonus structure is what the economics supports. Is exactly what the Corporate structure supports.

I highly doubt Mr. Tin Man ever negotiated a salary at any level.

I have seen many a church and many a pastor sell the TRUTH OUT for that money .
It became a business to them . The only way to survive and keep making that money , IS TO CONFORM TO THE TIMES .
I seen it a whole lot my friend . A whole , whole lot more than i ever wished i had seen it .
TIME TO PREACH JESUS AGAIN . Time to make correction great again . Time to bible up and
do all to contend for the true faith AGAIN . Now raise those hands , Cause its also time TO PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD
again and AGAIN .

Its time for all who serve not the LORD , nor to serve the flocks , but rather heap n steap and lord over the flocks ,
to step down and go get jobs elsewhere .
Its time to make pastors HUMBLE again . Who we think saved us , And who do we think gives gifts unto men .
TIME to PUT JESUS FIRST again . IF folks did that the churches would be in a far better place .

Great speech amigo, now if you could aim it to a democrat or liberal by writing them a letter to that effect, then maybe your speech will have more effect in this life.

It falls on deaf ears my friend . I mean
how can i reason with folks who cannot even figure out what sex they are .
this world is in serious dire trouble .
How you gonna reason with this generation . All we can do is speak truth , preach Christ , stick to the bible .
I bet some of the elites are laughing at this experiment .
THINK of how easy it is for them to convince the people its time to FOLLOW some kind of savoir .
I mean if society can so quickly adapt to insanity
they wont have any problem enslaving it . IF society can buy into such a lie
like if man thinks he is a woman then HE IS one . THEN WE DOOMED pardner .
Cause they already GOT the masses right where they need them .
IF you can make a society believe INSANITY IS SANE and SANE is INSANITY , YOU GOT THEM .

Devin . go back to a time when you were sitting in school .
Ten years old .
If a full grown man walked into the school saying he was a female alien x gender three , that man would have been
hauled out in strait jacket .
Now , how many genders we got ..........
WHEN reprobation sets in , a world cannot and will not survive on that path . IT has an END .
