Diesel shortage

[Pappy!]

Here is comes folks! First the diesel then gasoline. This will affect every single thing hauled by truckers across this country depending on how severe it becomes. Gasoline will follow as well.

THANK YOU, Mr. BRAIN-DEAD BIDEN and the rest of the DemocRATS and Lefty-Looney Liberals for shutting down Domestic drilling and other assorted Cockamamie schemes, like the FAKE Covid-19 Crisis. The disease was/is real, but the CRISIS was/is FAKE NEWS!!!!

Problem is they would still vote for the water head, the majority of Americans with no discernment. Sad days in what was a great country.

I firmly believe that you are wrong about the "majority." The DemocRATS STOLE the election. The "Majority" actually voted for Trump, and you and millions of Liberals and DemocRATS will NEVER convince me other wise.

Whether they stole it or not is irrelevant. They're in office and nothing substantial was/is being done about it.

The question is how do we keep it from happening again in a few months?

To me it seems that every other day there is another reason for the price of fuel going up. America is buying more fuel from other countries now, than 2 years ago when we were self sufficient. They say that diesel fuel is more expensive to produce than gasoline even though I read that diesel fuel is produced as a by product of gasoline refinement. Diesel prices for agricultural machinery is about 50 cents cheaper, because there is no road tax on it. I don't know who to believe anymore (not you guys), but there is a lot of misinformation being put out there, to take the blame away from what I think is the reason, MONEY GREEDY OIL COMPANIES.
Sorry guys and gals but this is Just my 2 cents of frustration.

May I correct that?
When Brandon took office one of his first objectives was to get the price per barrel of oil up around100/barrel. This is documented.
All kinds of monetary and leadership blunders that followed led to where we are today. Lack of strong decisive leadership has allowed other countries to take advantage as they see fit.
