BREAKING: House just passed a bill to fight price gouging on gas by big oil companies. Every single Republican voted no.

Every single GOP House member voted to keep gas prices high.

Remember that next time you vote.

Nice explainer.

The bill would have made it illegal to increase gas and energy prices in excessive and exploitative ways. It would also expand the Federal Trade Commission's power to investigate and address possible price gouging by oil and gas companies.

But you don’t want that, right? Is big oil giving you money too?

yeah nice try shill nobody is falling for your lies anymore

watch the video from your own senator

Joey Biden shut it all down.

They only shut down 20% on Federal Lands. Not even a drop in the bucket.

The oil companies know they can gouge prices with a Democrat in there and blame them.

Always happens. Every. Single. Time.

Almost like they fucking planned it that way.

Then the Liberals will say they are saving us with this shit bill. It's all smoke and mirrors.

Gas stations make between 6 and 9 cents on a gallon of gas

That is not the source of the increase. The Source of

The Increase is because Biden shut down all the pipelines

and cancelled all new oil leases.


Price by big oil is based on speculation not a gas station

They did this in 70s just causes gas lines and stations to run out.

As households around the globe struggle with rising energy bills, some of the world's leading oil giants reported record profits for the first three months of this year.

Profits for Exxon Mobil, Shell and more also rose by billions despite significant costs of exiting operations and/or investments in Russia amid war in Ukraine.

As households around the globe struggle with rising energy bills, some of the world's leading oil giants reported record profits for the first three months of this year.

Profits for Exxon Mobil, Shell and more also rose by billions despite significant costs of exiting operations and/or investments in Russia amid war in Ukraine.

In the first quarter, Shell's adjusted earnings rose to $9.1 billion from $3.2 billion in the same period last year. Net income rose to $7.3 billion from $5.8 billion in last year's first quarter.

BP posted its highest quarterly profit in over a decade – with the British energy company announcing on Tuesday that its underlying replacement cost profit rose to $6.2 billion in the first three months of this year, more than doubling the $2.6 billion from the same period last year.

At the end of April, Exxon Mobil reported $5.48 billion in profits during the first quarter of 2022 – also more than doubling its profits compared with the same period last year. Revenue for the Irving, Texas-based company was $90.5 billion, far exceeding the revenue of $59.15 billion during the same quarter in 2021.

Also at the end of April, Chevron reported a quarterly profit of $6.26 billion, over four times its earnings of $1.4 billion in the first quarter of last year. Revenue for the San Ramon, California-based energy producer surged 41%, to $54.37 billion.

They’re safe…they own enough Senators to kill the bill.

Yeah Biden admin admitted they are doing it this time

to force people to buy electric vehicles.


Problem, Reaction, Solution


Blame the other side for what you are doing.

Because Biden shut down all the pipeline and shale projects, right?

Shit like this is why democrats are at 18% in the polls

By trying to fight the absurd, record breaking profits that Big Oil is making off of you and everyone else in the world?

The Soviet Union tried price controls.

Guess how that worked out, LOL

BS

It ain't based on speculation. It's based on what ever the fuck they think they can charge and blame some bullshit for the price.

You want gas prices to go down?

GO ON STRIKE.

If nobody is buying Gas the oil companies will shit their fucking pants.

You need to read some history, son.

That began in October 1973 when the members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries led by Saudi Arabia proclaimed an oil embargo targeted at nations that had supported Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The initial nations targeted were Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States with the embargo also later extended to Portugal, Rhodesia and South Africa. By the end of the embargo in March 1974, the price of oil had risen nearly 300%.

LOL you are not very bright are you???

Its another Democrat stunt to try and blame Republicans

for the Nightmare Joey Biden created

Fact. That’s exactly what just happened. They’ll come up with some bullshit to gaslight it, but they won’t give up that oil company money.

Just remember those record breaking profits next time you fill up

The Republicans and Democrats work together when each is in power to keep up the illusion that what they are doing changes. It ain't.

The Oil companies and MIC run the show. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Yes, it's true. They are making a killing right now at our expense and using the war in Ukraine as an excuse and the Democrap President.

Same shit, just another decade.

These people all work together.

I don't know what it will take for people to realize this.

The Democrap solution is just another way to invade the privacy of U.S. citizens. They aren't going to actually investigate big oil.

They'll use the bill to fuck us in the ass.

We’re talking about global oil production, global oil consumption and global oil profits.

Bullshit.

It's cause they are charging more. Saying it's costing them more to bring oil to market. Which is horseshit because their quarterly profits margins will be through the fucking roof. Just like when Katrina hit.
