How long until Biden takes credit?

He seems to be good at that.

He’s already setting himself up to take credit for vaccinations, when the fact is we we are par to hit 100M in 100 days before he took office. It appears his plan to beat covid is to do exactly what he did to beat trump… let trump do it.

Where are you getting that we’re we’re on track to hit 100 million vaccines in 100 days before he took office?

We’ve only vaccinated about 25 million people in 50 days.

I am bracing for 4.00 a gallon by Memorial day.

Then you don’t understand the state of oil and gas today.

After poo pooing remarks about “China eating our lunch” while on the “Hidin’ J’Biden” campaign trail, today we are told this revelation.

Last time gas prices were that high, oil was over $100/bbl. Barring a mid-East war, there is no chance of seeing that price in the next year or two.

Camp · 2021-02-11T22:20:23.785Z

You are correct.

I understood it much better under Trump policy.

Biden doesn’t know what he is doing so how can any of us understand the state of oil and gas today.

I do understand Biden policy wants to reward China by making my gas more expensive.

Today’s economy can’t handle prices that high.

There simply aren’t enough high wage earners to support $100/bbl oil.

No you do not understand there are structural limitations…that have nothing to do with who is in the White House…to how high the price of oil can go.

It can’t go high enough to support $4/gallon gas.

It has already jumped from 2 to 3 per gallon and with global travel still very much down.

Petroleum demand has HUGE upside as summer arrives and virus weary Americans hit the road.

There is no “structural” limitation to shortages of refined product as demand returns and then exceeds pandemic levels…and prices go up up up…

The average price of gasoline is $2.54…that’s nowhere close to $3.00.

It hasn’t been anywhere near $2.00 a gallon since May of last year…the nadir of prices after the first COVID shutdowns.

And oil and gas have a structural ceiling because even when the economy is at its best, there are not enough high wage earners to support a higher price.

It’s why for close to a decade, oil has fluctuated between $55-$75 a barrel with the occasional very short term moves outside of that band.

Prices can’t go too low or else high cost options like fracking and tar sands go offline.

They can’t go too high or demand destruction happens.

This happens regardless of D or R in the White House.

If this seems puzzling to you…it’s because it’s not a political post, like yours often are when discussing this subject.

Yes, there are limitations. It is called the Permian where Unconventionals have become the flywheel of oil demand. Price rises? 50-100 more rigs will pop up immediately. Price drops? Rigs are decommissioned. And because the DUC well supply is ample, you don’t even have to wait to drill new wells.

Plus, if price rises dramatically, the Russians and Saudis will lift their production caps.

Right and the natural limitations to price increases as well.

But to people who think oil is oil, and there are no other factors, it’s always as simple as drill baby drill.

Barnes said. “We have some concerns around the idea of a domestic testing requirement, because not only would it require a 42% increase in the testing capacity nationwide, but it’s really not scalable, feasible or effective.”

We’ve only vaccinated about 25 million people in 50 days.

Here in Texas the state health department had already set up an online map of places that were going to distribute the vaccine. In Dallas, that included the county health department with a major operation in Fair Park, CVS, Walgreens, other pharmacies, doctors offices, hospitals.
All this was ramping up as more drug companies made more vaccines available.
The structure was already all in place when Biden took over.
All that remains is for the production of the vaccines to ramp up.
And for Biden to claim he did it all…

Ben_Natuf · 2021-02-12T14:12:17.196Z

you must be confused, in the waning days of the trump administration they were averaging about 900K per day, and were on track to go higher. At one point hitting 1.6M in one day. The work was already done to achieve this. Biden’s goal, was nothing more than to continue with what was already in place.

Is it any worse than giving the governor of New York and emmy, or aka the “Governor of the nursing home massacres”. And that wasn’t a meme like you just read but an emmy.
