    yeah it was so bone headed how the Biden admin handled that strategic oil reserve - but didn't they finally refill that a while back? Or not all the way?

    Bone headed when they told

    Bone headed when they told everyone what they were going to do with specific prices and times. Apparently, they did not replace hardly any. 

    LOL EXACTLY!  I couldn't have

    LOL EXACTLY!  I couldn't have said it better

    it was dumb enough to even use the strategic oil reserves just to try and lower gasoline prices 10 cents at the pump, negligible or no benefit to anyone - strategic oil reserves are for an emergency, should only be used in emergency situations, such as we have major calamity like an asteroid hit that wipes out a bunch of infrastructure, or there's some EMP bomb that takes out the electric grid.  For emergences like having insurance it's for those 'just in case' scenarios. Not something to use on a political whim to try and lower gas prices a few pennies.

    another analogy would be let's say you have bought some emergency food supply that companies like Patriot sell - that last 20 years, food and water you store in the basement for just in case scenario.  What the Biden Admin did - it would be like using those emergency food supplies one day just because you forgot to go to the store the other day and are low on food LOL - it's like NO, that's for emergency only, go out to eat or go to the store. 

    YES and the worst part was telling people specific prices and dates- just idiotic. 

    I don't care if you are a Dem and you love Biden and Harris and hate Trump, or vice versa - dumb dumb dumb
