do you suggest WE do?

It's right there in you very own post "The oil industry says the problem, in part, is hostile policies of the Biden administration." So maybe Biden should just drop the regulations and let them run completely amok. Would that make you feel better about gas prices? It's hard for me to feel any sympathy when these same poor put upon oil companies are raking in record profits. The only way to not have this be an issue is to have the public actually understand what it going on with gas prices. And the odds of that happening are slim to none.
