The 1970s came back so fast, I didn’t even have time to buy some leisure suits. Faced with massive inflation and an energy crisis, the obvious solution would be to incentivize more extraction and refining by lowering regulatory hurdles, a solution that eventually helped end the cyclical energy crisis 40 years ago.

Instead, Democrats have decided to act by canceling lease sales, erecting more regulatory hurdles, and attacking … “price gouging.” Bloomberg Energy reporter Javier Blas reports that Nancy Pelosi will float a bill in the House that would give Joe Biden the authority to impose price controls on gasoline:

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will next week present a bill on gasoline price gouging.

The bill will enable the president to issue emergency declaration making it illegal to increase the price of gasoline

The only thing worse than gas at five dollars a gallon is no gas at three dollars a gallon.

To your point, let's hope it never happens because this won't pass through Congress and Pelosi gets what she desires, to look like she is trying to do something. Price controls didn't work in the 70's and they won't work today.
 
pelosi is pandering to the socialist idiots who believe that this is putins price hike ROFL

this bill has about as much chance of passing as I do of getting a seat on SCOTUS

After doing a Gasbuddy check, gasoline is as cheap as $3.19 a gallon here in DFW.

Oh Thank Heaven- for 7 Eleven! AND JOE BIDEN- of course!

The demand is still there for oil and gasoline, but Brandon and his fellow marxists took away a great deal of the supply.

I tried to warn you people about the price gouging going on out there!

Perhaps your governor is helping to keep prices high in your state for political posturing reasons!

NOW WHY WOULD YOUR GOVERNOR TRY TO MAKE BIDEN LOOK BAD- HUH?

Poor anchovies, it has already happened. Been past a Costco lately? Our local Speedway was out of all three grades last Sunday.
Many on the left called me out a year and a half back when my signature said there would be $4 gas. Bet they would be happy for that right now.
 
The revolution wants to hammer energy companies, that is 100% what this is all about, they certainly dont give a fuck about us.
 
Would energy companies comply, or would they simply end production and plunge America into instant depression? Their boards have been in recent years increasingly composed of the WOKE and WOKE sympathizers, so I dont know.
