Silly peep are always tryna blame Biden for high prices of gasoline, caterwauling from the lower regions about this or that, blah, blah, blah. The President of the United States does not decide oil production. We do not have a centrally planned economy, like the old Soviet Union. The reality is that oil companies lower the number of drilling rigs and producing wells when prices go low, and they increase drilling and production when prices are high. It is the law of supply and demand. Right now, prices are high, and the number of drilling rigs at work just went up 58%.
"Oil producers in the U.S. are taking advantage of the rising price of crude, which settled $2.67 higher on Friday at $108.50, adding 275 rigs in the past year, nearly 58 percent more than the 475 operating at this time last year. The rig count declined slightly this week, falling by three one week after increasing by 12, according to oil field services firm Baker Hughes."
