6° of Joe Biden

I attempt using Republican Pretzel Logic to show how higher gas prices are all his fault

Welcome to the inaugural edition of 6° of Joe Biden.

Over the last 4 years of the Puzzle Palace I roasted President Trump and lampooned him and his Cabinet on the weird, insane and downright dangerous decisions that were made.

Now its my chance to take a swing at the Democrats and 'sleepy Joe', or is it 'Tiny Joe', or 'Dementia Joe' or whatever it was Trump tried to call him to scare people into voting for him. 

(I am an equal opportunity political satirist)

So without further ado, here is my first in a series of  "6° Of Joe Biden". 

I will try and blame all of the problems of the world on him, 

Like a Republican

Enjoy!

 I can’t believe I am going to say this…but it IS Joe Biden's fault that the price of gas is high!

Wait, What? How can the President be responsible for that?

Well, let’s play the Republican blame game, or as I like to call it. 6 Degrees of Joe Biden!

This is going to take a while, so hang on with me to the end.

Last year at this time we were in the middle of the Pandemic…it seems fewer people were driving so there was a lesser demand for gasoline and therefore prices plummeted. 

 I guess in a very weird way you could give Trump credit for lower prices or would it be the Chinese? (china virus) use your Trump voice when saying that!

One unfortunate side effect of that was less demand at the pump which also means less need for tanker drivers to deliver it to the gas stations. Many of them left the field for other work.

Apparently this is a specialized career and not every truck driver is qualified.

So when Biden took office and pushed to get everyone vaccinated, more people returned to the work force and started vacationing, therefore increasing demand at the pump and needing more Tanker drivers to drive the trucks to replenish them.

But, during the pandemic truck driving schools either closed or stopped training new hires to be tanker drivers creating a shortage of replacement drivers. 

Many drivers never returned to their previous career

Currently, 25% of all tanker trucks are sitting idle since there is a shortage of qualified drivers. (click link above)

Its the basic law of supply and demand. Less drivers, Less gas, higher prices. 

(of course OPEC and greed play no part in this what so ever...)😒

So basically, because Biden decided to end the pandemic by having people get vaccinated, he is responsible for the higher prices at the pump!

Thanks for playing 6° of Joe Biden!
