The price of gas

just an additional thought , on the pa gas tax

a portion of the pa gas tax goes to fund the state police

so for all of you that live in districts that dont have a police force, everyone else is footing your bill.

that means those of us who have a police force are paying for our own protection through local property taxes, and justifiably so we live there we use and need a police force.

we are also paying through the gas tax additionally a second time for protection of districts where we dont even live .
and those are some pretty affluent areas down my way , unity and hempfield townships for example .

there has been legislation to charge residents of these districts a fee but of course its fought tooth and nail by reps from those areas .

while on the subject how about the free ride for electric cars , again legislation has surfaced but libs were screaming it would affect the the sale of electric cars.

so keep ponying up at the pump boys we got some freeloaders we gotta take care of.

pony ! boys ! heard that somewhere recently , some old tired clown i seem to remember !
Remember the point I very first made in this section was the topic and the price of gas was Biden's fault. I made the comment that it is not Biden's fault is mainly the fault of supply and demand which we both agree on. I am laughing my ass off thinking you are so much more intelligent than I am. Now let me dumb it down for you Trump supported fracking, pipe line, and other oil sources which I agree created more oil but prices remained around 3 dollars a gallon. Why because OPEC and its partners cut production to keep oil prices higher. Biden yes wants to cut most of Trumps oil polices but what will happen to counter act that OPEC and its partners will increase production of oil and the price of gas will again remain at 3 dollars a gallon. Another part to add gas prices in Jan 2017 when Trump took office was about 2.35 a gallon it then rose to 3.00 dollars a gallon for most of 2018 and 2019 with all his oil policies in place. The 2 years before Trump was in office gas prices were never higher than 2.65 a gallon. This means we have presidents with 2 different polices and the price of gas has remained consistent under both policies. FYI oil was under $58.00 a barrel today. So as for a baseball reference, go home cause you lost the game.
I will say one thing we all probable agree on is PA gas taxes are just ridicules. I think we all wonder what all the money is be used for because the roads here are terrible. Now they want to add tolls.

Sorry I just happened to be typing fast and missed spelled a couple words. I am done with this topic. I don't have an issue with people expressing their opinions on this board. I enjoy the discussions. We all have different points of views and will not agree on every topic. We all even disagree on providers and our experiences.

I'm done explaining things to him. I tried... he simply doesn't comprehend!

3 whiffs and you're out!!
Just like in a lot of your sentences, you start ones with a preposition, before you make comments look back at your own.

Gas shortages. LITERAL gas shortages. Happening right now. In the USA.

From cheap plentiful gas to high prices and gas shortages in a little over 100 days under Senile Biden

And now a pipeline was hacked and it looks like the Carter era gas lines in the south which is heading our way. But Joey Bribes cancelled the Keystone pipeline. This country needs more pipelines, not less. It needs to stay energy independent, not dependent. Biden, and those running him, have to go. Soon.
