The price per barrel already jumped since Biden's announcement.
Another move that shows his stupidity.
Another knife into Democratic policy
Another story the media can't hide because everyone reads it at the pump.

Why wouldn’t it. It’s a three day supply. If I told you that I could supply you with three days worth of goods for you business out of 365 days would you change anything? Would you drop your prices and stop searching for a cheaper supplier? Hell no.

I am concerned that the Biden administration's solution, step 3, will be to say "The producers of oil, gas, Thanksgiving Turkey's, toilet paper, and so forth, are putting profits ahead of the people so the Government will take over those companies to set fair prices and to save the people from these evil profiteers." Then the govt can reduce production even further.

Nah that can’t happen. Just like that’s not their plan with rental properties. How cannot not be with the you don’t need to pay rent for two years. Now NYS is thinking of making it permanent and the citizens are pushing for it? If I had a rental property I’d post it for sale right now with a sign saying Fuck You democrats you’re not getting it.

June 2008...price /barrel = $156.85 Gas at the pump (national average) =$4.06 (record high on both counts).
Nov. 2021...price/barrel = $78.50 Gas at the pump (national average) = $3.40
Anyone want to speculate on what the average gas will cost when oil hits the previous record?

Pretty funny how the chip shortage just evaporated isn’t it? How did that happen?
It didn't. Toyota has competent management. The US companies, nope.

All I care about is that we understand the source of the shortages, the shortcomings of the supply chain, and try to address them if possible.
If things will be getting better, great. That's what I want to see. And I want to see those who cannot come up with solutions pushed aside for those who can.

I don't disagree, but this is corporate America we are talking about here so that's not happening.

Well GM is starting a lot more production than they have and Toyota was hit by the chip shortage too. Miraculously it just vanished.
GM will have all plants open by Nov. 1
For the first time in eight months, the global shortage of computer chips won’t force General Motors to close any North American factories.

Why Toyota had a big pile of chips when semiconductor shortage dealt others a bad hand - Autoblog
Toyota's good fortune in the global semiconductor shortage and is stockpile of key components in cars goes back a decade to the Fukushima disaster.

It never was anywhere near as big of a problem for them due to how they run their business.
But I get your point about GM. I think they made some new deal with a chip supplier or something recently. Had to look it up but yeah.
GM, Ford introduce new ways to deal with chip crunch
The chip supply issue affecting all automakers has been ongoing since the start of the year and its effects are expected to last into 2022.

Yes Toyota did have a big stockpile of chips, but there supply did run out as well and they had to shutdown or slowdown for a period of time as well.Was referring more to this:

I just find it miraculous how when GM and Ford call the chip makers this crisis just disappeared after building billion dollar EV factories and taking in the same or more money on less produced. Now after this is complete the issues just vanishes? I’m not buying it. There’s more at play here.
now we get to the meat and potatoes of it, of course the government is handing out money for what I would say will be a temporary chip manufacturer in the USA for political grandstanding.
From the article.
Members of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group of moderate members of the U.S. House, on Thursday pushed their colleagues to pass $52 billion in proposed funding for domestic semiconductor chips manufacturing.
So, I find it rather interesting that the oil from the reserves were quickly and quietly shipped to China and India.

And how’s the price at the pump? I also find it great timing to do this as after thanksgiving the price historically declines because travel ceases. The price will naturally decline a bit and Biden will claim it’s his doing.
