What Trump needs to do

Posted by Peter Rosa on Mon Mar 9 10:05:37 2026

Use his executive emergency powers to impose price controls on gasoline and institute rationing. Everyone will be squeakin’ and squawkin’ about how they can’t reduce gasoline consumption, but they can.

Rationing?? Have you lost your mind?? Never happen since there is no shortage. Consumption is not the issue here. Just the higher prices in and of itself will reduce travelling. The spike in oil prices are projected by optimistic republicans to be temporary, especially with the mid terms coming up.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: High prices are better than shortages.

I'm one to talk given that my car is electric, but even if it used organic fuel, I'd rather pay more than go without.

All it will take is reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

I haven't been to a gas station in years. I chuckle when I see people standing there in the dead of winter so it gives me entertainment and joy.

Yes, that’s why I called it “organic fuel.”

Gasoline consists almost solely of organic compounds, which are compounds of carbon. Inorganic compounds are usually in the form of anti-knock compounds, trace metals and metal deactivators.

He needs to mandate that every United States based airline with planes capable of operating JFK to Brussels must do so

Remember, the government can only ask and beg you to do something, but not mandate it. Like masks, or limiting driving in the summer during air pollution days, or not using so much electricity during the daytime like in California.
