Biden is demanding an FTC investigation into oil companies to discover why gas is so expensive and the industry has some thoughts for him 🤣
· Nov 17, 2021 · NottheBee.com

This is literally the meme of the guy who crashes his own bicycle:

On Wednesday, President Biden, in yet another effort to place the blame for inflated prices anywhere but on his own shoulders, called for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate major oil and gas companies over rising gas prices, sending a letter to the head of the Federal Trade Commission to call her attention to "mounting evidence of anti-consumer behavior by oil and gas companies."

And here's the official memo, just in case you want to bask in the completely moronic irony.

Could Biden be any more obtuse?

Is this some weird play so he can get CNN to report on how our "glorious leader" is trying to look out for the little folk?

I don't know, but like I said, it is literally this meme:

Here's how the American Petroleum Institute responded to this clown-show gaslight attempt:

This is a distraction from the fundamental market shift that is taking place and the ill-advised government decisions that are exacerbating this challenging situation. Demand has returned as the economy comes back and is outpacing supply. Further impacting the imbalance is the continued decision from the administration to restrict access to America's energy supply and cancel important infrastructure projects. Rather than launching investigations on markets that are regulated and closely monitored on a daily basis or pleading with OPEC to increase supply, we should be encouraging the safe and responsible development of American-made oil and natural gas.

Let's recap how Biden has fractured our energy industry, which was the #1 exporter of oil worldwide until Joe sat down in the Oval Office.

In less than a single year, he has:

  • Openly run on a platform that has demonized fossil fuels
  • Stopped the drilling of new oil on public land (which Native American tribes are suing him for)
  • Killed the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, putting thousands of energy specialists out of work and leaving paid-for infrastructure to rot and rust
  • Banned drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge so the caribou would be happy
  • Green-lit a new pipeline... in Russia
  • Begged OPEC to lower prices of oil being shipped over the ocean to us
  • Discussed shutting down a pipeline in Michigan
  • Shoved trillions of dollars in new spending through Congress, flooding the market with cash and driving up inflation
  • Supported lockdowns, vax mandates, and welfare policies that have crippled the already-hurting trucking industry
  • Responded super weakly to the Russian cyberattack of the Colonial Pipeline that shut down oil transportation for days
  • Sent his Energy Secretary out there on national TV to push high gas prices as a good thing because it will force Americans to use wind and solar power

But yeah, it's the greedy oil industry's fault! 😂
