Girlfriend says "it isn't like presidents have a gas prices dial."
Argumentative me: "weeelllll.... It isn't like it doesn't have an affect when on day 1 in office they say 'no more pipeline, more exploration, no more offshore platforms.' Futures go up immediately."

WHAT? WHAT? PRESIDENTS ARE OMNIPOTENT!
So far he's had about zero impact. Policy matters, but, funnily enough, policy is still what Trump did, as the courts reinforced his decisions on leasing earlier this year, so Biden couldn't stop it. What's really happening is just simple supply and demand, and frackers being much more cautious to re-open wells in the US figuring they could get bit any time if we have more people staying home due to a newer variant, etc.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Gordon, tell your girlfriend the biggest issue with American politics is people not holding their own party to the same standards as they hold the opposition. One can admit Trump or Biden are dogshit without thinking the other is awesome.
The sad part is that graph was meant to show how much he's done, and not how little impact he's had.
The two cents were showcasing his impact from releasing whatever portion of the U.S.' own oil reserves he did release. So yes, zero, which is what experts were saying that's the effect it would have.

It's also OPEC refusing to increase production.

Modern day slavers are butt hurt Biden imposed a diplomatic boycott of their latest Olympic Games.
First of all, I cannot imagine a more flaccid response to the greatest threat the world currently faces than not sending politicians on a vacation there.
Secondly, fuck China.

Musk suddenly hates government $$$ for electric vehicles.

Dems should really stop dicking around with all their stupid social programs, and just boost the minimum wage. Get those people off the government tit. Employment will barely change.

Counterpoint: They don't want them to be off the tit.

That thought popped into my head as I was typing, but I dont think it's a win in the US. Just make it simple. Pay people real wages.

I think giving capitalism a free hand used to work, but it doesn't any more.

No system is perfect, and I never said Catt was saying capitalism was perfect.
I don't believe a "set it and forget it" attitude is going to result in universal happiness in any system. Like Democracy there needs to be checks and balances.
I was discussing this at lunch today and I know what I'm going to name the book I write about this new capitalism:
"Everybody Cums: We all win when capitalism is done right"
