Biden had ordered some oil to start to replace what he withdrew.

He has cancelled that due to the price of oil.

I guess he should have not stopped allowing exports of oil and natural gas...he could have afforded it then.

Yes, and if he would have let us keep drilling in the U.S. we wouldn't have high gas prices and the need to tap our reserves. Biden would rather enrich our enemies by purchasing oil from them. Amazing that the people are not enraged.

Biden is trying to control the world economy.
It's failing.

He wants to slow our economy because of inflation...higher energy prices will do that.

We will be paying for the Federal Reserve's "free money" policy for a while....ten years at a guess. And with AI...probably for a while. AI is going to obliterate some office jobs...and with only half of the office spaces being used half the time....real estate market is in the toilet too.

It's going to take some savvy to restore our economy. And some more innovation to begin exports again.

Maybe CA can utilize AI in the food industry to offset that $20 an hour min wage?

Fast food chains are working on that. So are food suppliers. AI isn't necessary for fast food chains...just a series of robotics and accountants.

But essentially what is coming is just a kiosk and a window. No more people except to reload the freezers and coolers.

What the holdup is the cost of the machines and the food.
Food has to be more uniform. (Lettuce, buns, burgers and chicken nuggets aren't the problem as much as some of the other items.) Packaging that the machines can handle is one issue. A complaint about plastic in the food cannot be handled by a machine....has to be handled by a person. Same with a drink served in a crushed cup or one that has a hole in it.

So....these things are issues. The machines need someone who can repair simple things on a daily basis while they are operating. Make simple adjustments. But do no cooking or serving. That's about it. But it requires a good bit of training to accomplish this and $20/hr is not going to even start to cover that one person's wages. More like $35-40/hr.

And then there's a huge problem. You cannot send someone out to work alone that way. Too many issues. They can get hurt without anyone's knowledge...spend all day doing nothing but surfing on their phone....any number of problems arise.

We depend on that oil. He gave a huge amount away, thinking it would lower gas prices, thinking it would help him politically, I assume.

Biden has removed all incentives to drill in the U.S. and made the oil companies taxes intolerable. He would rather pay high prices to enemy countries. Biden has been purchased and is ruining our country for his personal gain. He could shut down the millions of drug smugglers and criminals entering our country but he's apparently being incentivised to allow it. There is no honorable or sensible reason to stand by and watch our country go down the drain.
