@JiveDadson It went up because of stock buybacks and record profits.

@JiveDadson "The market is always open" Define open. In the United States alone, oil companies are sitting on thousands of permits. What changed? A few factors. More concentration of oil companies, more sitting on permits to decrease demand, and the excuse of a major supplier going to war to jack it way up. Something similar happened in the wake of Katrina where they used the excuse of a brief issue with supply to jack the prices up over three bucks a gallon which was nearly double what it was before. It's all about what people are used to paying, seeing a spike, taking advantage of the spike, and then slowly dropping the prices if they notice people changing their driving habits. It's a total boiling frog effect. Oh, and the Trump tax cuts encouraged far more stock buybacks than investment in capital, which was a monetary time bomb. Just because it's higher than it was doesn't mean that the basic practice hasn't changed.

@JiveDadson Compare gas prices in June to when crude oil cost the same in 2007-08. YouTube doesn't let you put links anymore.

"He's a pretend populist." Literally everyone on the right who claims the label is a fake populist. The real deal doesn't want tax cuts for rich people. Anyone who has ever read the "Cross of Gold" speech or listened to a recreation by Bryan when he was older on YouTube knows that populism is not a style, it is about doing right for the people.
