The point of OPEC is to raise prices. Rich oil people set the prices, not from respect of the Presidents in France or South Korea or anywhere. The reason why oil prices never go to infinity is that rich oil people start undercutting each other's price to make more money for themselves, but they don't pay any attention to what Presidents want the price to be. Unless the President also is a rich oil person or controls a Strategic Oil Reserve with infinite amounts of oil already stored, the President has no control over the price.

6ix, I know that Trumptards misunderstand how prices are set. They also think businesses are supposed to be run to create jobs for Trumptards. No successful business has ever been run that way, 6ix, but you dummies can't understand that any better than you understand prices. It is no surprise when Trumptards go into business and don't prosper. You don't know what you're doing and never will. What a bunch of losers you are.

Only this time you post an article that's patently false, especially since news had already broken out this morning that OPEC+ had lowered its daily output from today until the end of the year and the market already had oil up 5% hours before you reposted it.

Every stupid ass Trumptard in business insists they know what they are doing. They don't. Even your example of oil prices going up 5% shows that you understand nothing.

Trumptard business owners compensate for their thick-skull ignorance by cheating their customers, employees, suppliers, and subcontractors. Those are things successful businesses don't do, but Trump has to keep himself from going bankrupt, again.

It's higher in Canada and Mexico, but Biden is not President in either country. I wonder how that works? I guess we will never know.

Canada Mar/23 1.11 USD/Liter

There is only one country where the price of gasoline is set by the President of the country: Venezuela. What is the price there? Gasoline Prices 0.02 USD/Liter Mar/23
That is less than a dime per gallon of gasoline.
https://take-profit.org/en/statistics/gasoline-prices/venezuela/

How did that happen? The oil company in Venezuela is owned by Venezuela. Are you surprised?

Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. is an easy-to-remember name. Everywhere else in the Western Hemisphere the oil companies own themselves and are free to raise their prices to take as much money as possible. No President has control over the price in their country, except for the Venezuelan President.

The industry only makes EVs because 1) the feds basically require it, and 2) its leaders buy the idea that EVs are the future; companies feel doomed if they don’t get onboard now.

Nor do EVs actually much reduce carbon emissions, because the electricity that powers them is itself mainly the product of burning carbon fuels.

And will remain so for the foreseeable future, unless America suddenly starts building a lot more nuclear power plants.

Washington (and state capitols from Albany to Sacramento) can decree vast increases in solar- and wind-produced electricity, but actually making it happen is ruinously expensive — roughly half a trillion bucks just for New York’s current plan.

Meanwhile, Beijing dominates the supply chain for key components of electric vehicles. And changing that requires Washington not just to rule out consumer subsidies for China-dependent EVs, but also to enable, for example, massive lithium mining in this country — overriding other environmental concerns.

Not to mention the toxicity of used high-tech batteries (and the near-nonexistent technology for recycling them).

Because EVs are limited in range (and charging them is time-consuming), the consumer market will likely respond by keeping old ICE-cars on the road far longer. Used-car prices will soar.

Either by having to buy electric despite the price and inconvenience, or forking over more for clunkers, working stiffs get the shaft again.

Because you're lying by omitting many inconvenient truths about the failed policies and the failed Democrat politicians and appointments that have plagued this country for over two years now that lead to the inflation.

The Democrat Party is responsible for all of this, and because the US Dollar is tied to Petrol, it is very much responsible for a good amount of inflation worldwide as well.

The oil producers set prices, not the President. You and your kind are cheated in business deals because you don't understand that price is a negotiation only between two people. There is not a third person, the President of the United States, involved when you are overcharged in a deal. I swear you and your kind are stupid fuckers who deserve to be cheated.

6ix, you do a great job of deluding yourself. Businesses make a massive effort to convince customers that the motivation of business is something higher and more admirable than profit. Check out the medical business in America which has convinced patients that paying the highest prices in the world means Americans get the best health in the world. By deluding people in that way the business makes more profit.

US healthcare spending is much higher than anywhere else in the world.

If consumers are not suffering then sellers have not raised their prices high enough because the winning strategy in the sellers-versus-buyers game/contest/war is for the sellers to take all the buyers' money. Sellers are winning the contest. But if you think the government sets prices rather than sellers then it is not the sellers' fault that buyers suffer. Hint: sellers tell buyers it is the government's fault. For some reason, buyers believe sellers even when sellers are cheating buyers out of every penny they have.

The government can do one thing: either enrich or impoverish the buyers. The sellers will adjust their prices to their best advantage, either raising prices faster when buyers have more money or raising prices slower when buyers have less money because the economy crashed. See 2008 for how the government can crash the economy by allowing the rich to behave however they please.

But inflation did decrease for a little while after 2008. So, there is that "benefit" to crashing the economy.

You know, 6ix, inflation would have stayed very low for a very long time if the government had not rescued the economy with bailouts in 2009. For example, Republicans wanted General Motors to remain bankrupt, but the Democrats bailed it out to spite the Republicans, saving a half million jobs. The Republicans raged against the unfairness of a bailout. But if all those GM employees, suppliers, and owners of GM vehicles had been left to struggle, it would have kept inflation very low for a long time because sellers can't raise prices when buyers have no money.
