He won only because he wasn't Trump. It had nothing to do with his policies, which are now giving many of those that voted for him voter's remorse. 81 million to 75 million is hardly a mandate to push through whatever he wants with the mere stroke of a pen. Are higher gas and oil prices considered regressive in any way in your eyes?
He also stated he wouldn’t cut the taxes for middle class. Those statements directly conflict with each other so stop trying to manipulate what was being said. You can’t do away with some tax cuts and not do away with all of them. They were all in the same bill. I know what the truth is so stop your lying bullish-t!
Oil and gas will not be completely out of our society in the next 100 years , unless you are suggesting it will be depleted? How will passenger planes fly?
Again, no mandate at all, when 75 million vote for the loser. Be sure to let us know then when gas and oil go away. Until then we still need it and we need it to not be more expensive when so many are hurting right now. BTW, congrats on replacing those $85 dollar an hour pipeline jobs with your fancy new $15 an hour jobs in renewables. Quid Pro Joe's buddy China on the other hand will be flooded with all the new solar panel jobs that they will be getting thanks to Joe owing them for giving his crackhead son $1.5 billion.
How are higher gas and oil prices affecting the middle class at a time when they're hurting so badly already?
As the saying goes... don’t piss on my leg & tell me it’s raining!
You do realize, and this is just how shortsighted this Biden policy is, oil is used to make all kinds of things/ when we are are energy independent, our cost remain low because we control our own market. When we have to rely on opec and middle eastern oil we are exposed to their volatility.
Trump in defeat got more votes than any presidential candidate in history besides Lying Joe. Again, hardly a mandate.
They are. A quick check showed that oil is over $50 per barrel and gas prices have gone up 20 cents per gallon here in Utah when it is usually cheaper here in the winter. Oh yeah I forgot, that is just anecdotal.
Quite a big difference in losing 74 million to 81 million compared to 7 million to 0. No matter how you spin this, there is no mandate.
Again, they won the presidency simply because Biden is not Trump, not because of his policies. What I would like to see is both sides compromising on issues and getting down to the business of fixing America, no matter who's in charge. Well, if I'm going to dream I might as well dream big, right?
Not attacking Raoul, just Biden's policies, which are going to hurt the poor and middle class at a time when they are hurting so bad already. Besides, Raoul and I have never attacked each other, we just disagree sometimes.
That's just how insanely obtuse some of these people are. They think if Biden runs on something and wins, he is not going to do what he ran on. He is going to do what they want him to do....and when he doesn't they are outraged....lol
This is the problem. These are people who are led by someone who has never been truely accountable for anything in his entire life. Anyone out there that has never been accountable now have a leader. someone that proves you can be president even living your life this way.
Biden is in charge now so any deaths will be on him. Do we start calling it JOEVID-19 now.
Really because here is the vote during Obama
Existing yet incomplete. Existing but some portions need modernization. Still coming on railway, ships, oil trucks. Either way it's coming just in a dirtier less safe less efficient manner.That’s one guy who is mad the project got cancelled being concerned about something. There’s already plenty of existing pipeline infrastructure in place from Canada to the US.
See below.....
Additionally, there's very little evidence that the 15% of oil that comes in via rail right now is any less safe than oil pipelines. Oil safety is measured by incident and spill rates and both have a comparable record in terms of how often there's a spill.
How many times do I need to tell you guys, Radical Raoul doesn’t understand basic economic principles.
I can’t stand Trump. He is gone. Biden is President. This topic is about Biden policies, or did you forget? What is hard to understand about this, other than you not getting over Trump? TDS anyone?
It figures you missed the mark on this comparison. It’s not just about spills, it’s about carbon footprint of those trains and trucks. Do your own research next time.
In a paper released this month, Clay quantified the air pollution and greenhouse gas cost of diesel emissions from oil trains going from North Dakota in 2014, when production was high and about half of Bakken oil was shipped by rail. She found that the air emission costs of CBR were twice the cost of oil train accidents. While accidents like the Lac Megantic tragedy generate massive attention and fear, they are relatively rare, whereas the emissions from oil trains impact scores of people who live in urban areas like Chicago and Clay’s home, Pittsburgh.
