Absolutely I'm worried they will shut everything down. How are we supposed to homeschool our kids when both parents work? My son loves school and really thrives- he will really suffer mentally and emotionally with another shut down.

Schools should not be closed down, kids are less affected by this, and I think teachers should stop indoctrinating kids also

I am worried they will shut down the schools, I am not at all worried about COVID hurting my kids, or other kids. This virus is no longer novel, but rather seasonal/endemic, yet the scared policy-makers are treating it as though it is novel. We need to move on... no masks, no quarantine.

The kids need socialization more than to be "protected" from COVID-19, something that represents essentially less than 0.05% risk to them even if infected.

No, it doesn't concern me.

It may be wishful thinking but I hope not. Our children need to be in school. Last year is lost. It will not be made up. They can not afford to loose a second year.

Because my teen is already enrolled in online school. We didn't want to be anywhere near the school this new year with all the craziness goin on. Our teen also wanted to do online school because he came home from school every day last year with a headache & extra tired from the masks.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html
