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.
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

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.

Never had a problem
ReplyI NEVER didn't feel safe.
ReplyI have always felt safe in public. I have never worried about COVID and Im in my 60's.
ReplyI don’t feel like Covid is any different then the pandemic that we have every year that kills people. Look back at the first flu it killed 50 million people and infected 500 million. Then every year it has gone down. But here we are a 100 years later and it still kills 650,000 people worldwide
ReplyNever was a problem,, what a sad sad Joke this IS !
ReplyI have not felt unsafe in large crowds this entire time...
ReplyIf you go into Walmart or Fred Meyers there are huge crowds every day. And it is not fair to the small businesses.
ReplyBecause I live in what used to be a free nation.
ReplyI personally have never had a fear of COVID and the only reason I wear a mask is to prevent the gestapo from fining or closing local businesses. The vast majority of infections are milder than the flu.
ReplyYes of course, we should NEVER have been closed, South Dakota never closed anything and had no mask mandate and their covid cases were lower than Oregon and they did not destroy any business, or increase suicide rates due to the closures like Oregon did. We need to live by faith not fear.
