    He didn't shut it down though. You're a very confused rightist. Under Biden, our country has set records in noy only oil production, but oil exports. You know, the true definition of energy independence.

    The most massive records Biden set in the oil industry were PRICES.

    Nope. That was your mango hero. Traitor Trump signed the worst deal imaginable for America with OPEC.

    Typical Trump, America last.

    It's funny - you praise the US's cultural influence, yet at the same time you hate the people who have created much of that influence - Hollywood, American Musicians and Actors. Hell, watch all the foreign Idol shows, and they'll be singing a Billie Eilish, of Taylor Swift song - or go to the theaters and they'll
    be watching a Hollywood film produced and directed by someone you hate ...

    Military Influence - mostly powered by the Hi Tech born in the Bay Area and University of California labs ... which you hate.

    The average price of gas in America the day Trump left office was $2.37. It hasn't been that low since. Biden's WAR ON OIL has sent fuel prices through the roof:

    Forbes and the Wall Street Journal are two of the most respected publications in America. Where do you get YOUR news? "Pravda" and the DNC Gazzette"?

    I do not hate anyone. Hate is evil and poisons the mind and soul of the person that hates. That claim, is a pure BS, I love Hollywood. My cats are all named after famous actors and actresses. So, again, your claim is BS. What is a "foreign idol" show? Who is Billie Ellish? I do not hate any producers or directors. I don't think I could even name any. By the time the producer or director's name flashes on the screen at the end of the flick, I've left the theater or changed the channel, so again, your claim is BS.

    I hate to break it to you, but while universities all over the nation have, indeed, contributed to military tech, most of it is derived from R&D by corporations like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, L-3, Fairchild and such. I have worked in defense R&D for decades. I have seen battlefield robotics developed by companies like "I, Robot" in conjunction with Picatinny Arsenal, precision weapons like JDAMS developed by individuals working for the government, and more. The only systems I saw develop in a mostly academic environment were "drones" (UxV's) and they came from Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi. Apaches were developed by Boeing (I was part of that effort).M1 tanks all came from TACOM in Sterling Heights Michigan...

    Before 2000 or so the government used academia a lot to help develop precise descriptions and tech data packages (TDP) to publish for a competitive industry contract. The government paid for any resource they could to develop a product description. After 2000 or so the military realized that it was a mistake to describe the product they wanted in detail. They realized that rather than saying the widget should be this big and weigh that much, be a particular color and use a certain amount of power, it would be better to simply tell industry what they wanted the widget to DO, then stand back and see what various ideas industry came up with. The new system has worked great, for over two decades now.

    I don't hate California labs. That would be silly. And hate is a disease. But hate a lab? LOL... like hating your dry cleaning company or gas provider... silly.

    The day Trump left office there were about 150 million people employed in America. Now it is over 161 million.
    Far more than were ever employed under Trump.

    Thanks Joe!

    Traitor Trump bent the knee to OPEC and screwed our Country and left the mess for Joe to fix.

    There is no war on oil. We are producing and exporting far more oil than at any time during mangos time in office.

    The subject was the price of oil due to Biden's "War on Oil" and it's effect of causing skyrocketing inflation. That has absolutely nothing to do with employment numbers. Your response has nothing to do with the subject.

    YOU say there is no Biden War on Oil.
    The Wall Street Journal says Biden IS conducting a War on Oil - Biden’s War on Oil Hits Consumers - WSJ
    Forbes says Biden IS conducting a WAR on OIL - https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidb...pens-new-fronts-in-his-war-on-us-oil-and-gas/
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidb...e-price-as-bidens-war-on-oil-and-gas-expands/
    The Institute for Energy Research says Biden IS conducting a War on Oil - Price Tag for Biden’s War on Oil and Gas - IER (instituteforenergyresearch.org)
    The New York Post says Biden IS conducting a War on Oil - Joe Biden's war on oil and reckless economic policies have imperiled national security (nypost.com)
    Newsweek says Biden IS conducting a War On Oil - Joe Biden's war on oil and reckless economic policies have imperiled national security (nypost.com)

    So... we can believe YOU... or we can believe the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the Institute for Energy Research, the New York Post, and Newsweek.

    We can believe You... or them. I'll go with the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the Institute for Energy Research, the New York Post, and Newsweek

    Yes. The Cambridge Dictionary defines "author" as: the writer of a book, article, play, etc.

    If you need any further assistance in learning the definitions of English words... just ask. I'm here for you.

    Voters don't care about "growth". They worry about the cost of their groceries.

    Last I looked, he wasn't the only person in the US with enough brain cells to rub together to figure this out. Hell, even the RW can figure this out half the time. They just fail the other half because hero worship and idolatry are more important to them than Econ 101. Then again, you have to hate and disregard most of econ in order to still support Trump.
