maybe if you paid everyone $2000 a month like Kamala said then people would be more willing to deal with $6 a gallon in gas or whatever it’s going to be

democrats are going to get creamed into a bloody pulp in 8 months

$10/gal gas is a good thing that will help us transition away from wasteful energy usage and i'm proud of the democrats for making gas $10/gal. it's very brave of them

The people making the decisions are insulated from the economic costs. Against the costs of a war with a nuclear power maybe not quite as insulated.

If gas is expensive enough, people won't be able to afford driving to the polls. Only people who don't drive will be able to vote, ensuring a Democratic landslide.

I'm pretty sure oil prices don't work like that. The tiny supply surplus that was established mid 2014, which maxed out at like 4% above demand, resulted in the price of oil dropping to less than half within half a year, eventually reaching a third a year later. Reverse that logic for Russia not being able to sell, and you'd expect the price of a gallon of gas to reach double digits. Of course Russia isn't actually locked out of the market, so it's not actually relevant yet.

But yeah, that's what I was trying to get across with my last sentence. They'll bump up the price as fast as they can ostensibly justify it, even if it's not "fair/actually justified", and only drop it down again if competition demands it.
Yeah if the supply drops by 8% then the new price will be whatever reduces demand by 8%. If demand is very flexible, then it might not affect the price much at all - otoh if demand is inflexible then the price could go up quite a lot more than a naive analysis would indicate. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader whether demand for gasoline / oil is more or less flexible in the context of the American economy :)

I mean of course the oil industry is replete with cartels and monopolies, so thinking about it in terms of markets won't really help much anyway.

It’s true that “schlonged” isn’t actually political jargon for “beaten badly”, but that’s how almost all of the criticism of DJT went throughout the campaign.

Oh no! Trump said something impolite! Truly he is the worst candidate on the debate stage!
