Some say the war in Ukraine and economic ripples that continue from the coronavirus pandemic are contributed to the high price.

High gas prices are a global problem. This issue would be here if Trump, Biden, or anyone else would be in office. Is Biden doing great? Hell no. But his policies have no bearing of gad prices in Canada, Australia, or anywhere else. It still sucks either way

Honestly every advanced economy in the world currently is facing increased prices and inflation and I generally lean toward this being a global issue. Do I think the government could do better though? Absolutely but this is a situation that I do not think the blame can fall singularly on.

Justin just because I think differently than you does not mean I have no common sense the same way I could argue you don't have any for always blaming a singular person for your life's woes. Adults are able disagree on things. Going straight to calling someone dumb or senseless is childish

Zaos I still disagree with the pipeline due to its construction time, type of oil, and that it was more for export than import. On the cancelation though I concede the point cause I just saw the headline myself.

Zaos Gonzolez

Biden just ended gas and oil leases inside of the USA Today....

Zaos Gonzolez

It’s singularly Bidens fault. Closing the pipeline caused speculators to purchase oil at a rate that outpaced demand. Now there is a supply issue. FJB and his family.

Biden cancelled the pipelines his first day. FJB and his whole family.

Ah yes Justin a singular pipeline while beneficial is going to make oil companies stop spending their money. Its not like they are already posting record breaking profits. Will closing it have influence yes but they are not going to stop everything they are doing.

Justin you seem to be skipping over A. the oil was mainly for export, B. the pipeline again at best wouldn't be done until sometime next year leaving prices now unchanged, and C. that the oil sands oil is more difficult to create into gas so it would mostly go to other sectors.

The pipeline itself would have had little to no impact on the price of gas due to not only the type of oil being pumped but also due to the fact that the oil was mostly slated for export and not domestic use. The pipeline would not even have been completed until at least next year at the best rate.

Zaos Gonzolez

Biden closing the pipeline caused speculators to purchase oil, depletion the supply while there was high demand. This is 100% Joe bidens fault. Singularly. FJB and his family.

This was created with Bidenomics and many other bad policies. Our current administration reminds me of The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Max

Lefties can whine all they want. But all problems belong to the Dumbocrats.

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Eric Smith

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Toasty

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

Lisa Harter Kerns

Public schools need funded

Ed Smith

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Danny Bowling

No income tax doesnt work check all the states that tried it. RESCT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

John Scherer

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Vancie Brown

Nothing is getting done

Bruce Russell

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

Tom Maxwell

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

Robert Rasmussen

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

John Shadwick

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Madison Haleigh

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.

It is what trump wants

Max

The violence is from the Left. Trump, and Americans want Law and Order.

Jane Porter

Yes it is inevitable, it will continue until ICE is stopped. Honestly I thought would happen sooner.

Max

Ice will not be stopped, they will just get better tools, and use them sooner.

Jeremy Salas

Its a bunch of Lil weiner having, trigger happy racists joining ice that couldn't make it in real law enforcement or military.

Max

That protect you and your children.

Fred

I am sure many are white supremacists and neo-nazis.

Will Mason

Unless the" protestors" (In reality they are insurectionists) stop being violent, the violence will continue. .

Max

600 of those protesters were Pelosi plants.

Fred

January 6, 2021 was insurrection ... citizens protesting government overreach and invasion of their neighborhoods by unknown masked men in battle fatigues & assault weapons is NOT!

Ruthann Black

As long as violent protesters are blocking federal agents from doing their jobs , it will continue.

Fred

It will continue as long as ICE and DHS continue to use excessive force!

Steve Baumann

There is an anti-American movement that's gained momentum over the past few years. And with the discovery of mass corruption, such as in Minneapolis, those profiting from those activities are going to fight back, hard.

Nicole McGregor

The new agents aren't properly trained and they have zero accountability!

Toasty

While the liberals/socialists/communists/democrats continue the narrative of victimization, they will find useful idiots to carry out their agenda. This poor woman believed the lies and lost her life.

Fred

Masked secret police roaming the streets with no accountability would have never been accepted in America in the past. If they themselves weren't ashamed of there actions, they wouldn't be wearing masks. Our democracy is spiraling the drain!

James Sowash

Until politicians in both parties quit making inflammatory statements, it will continue.
