Shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline and restricting domestic oil leases almost immediately increased the price of gas by 20 or so cents.

You are correct. Most of the world is experiencing price gouging and inflation.

Its just something that happens and there is nothing we can do about it. The market is like the weather sometimes it rains sometimes it pours.

You almost sound like you’re in favor of market regulation. Yet, somehow I very much doubt that is true.

What policies, specifically?

Sending hundreds of billions of dollars to fight the war in Ukraine, for instance.

What, you thought we actually HAD hundreds of billions of dollars? They’re all just printed from thin air and added to the national debt, and then inflation goes up as a result of the increased money supply.

Could you share where you got your number? The most recent source I found on google showed $44.2 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since the invasion began. From what I can tell this doesn’t include other humanitarian aid, so I wonder if that makes up the difference?

Whatever the case, if you have more info I’d appreciate it if you could share
