    Gas was expensive in Biden era because of COVID (essentially a natural disaster) massively disrupting the global logistics network.

    Not really. The primary factor was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which isn’t something Biden has control over

      It was a variety of things tbh, but generally they were all out of anyone’s direct control.

      Russia/OPEC price war, massive fluctuations in US VIX, supply shocks after the crude oil price inversion of 2020, sanctions after Russian invasion of Ukraine, logistics and distribution disruption… all contributed.
