Why the hell is diesel a buck more? It's the first thing off the cracker! Gasoline has to be refined 3 more times!
Supply and demand homie.
Did think you were a labor theory of value guy.
I've never looked a stats on fuel usage to see if diesel demand is higher. It w always my assumption as well but after China finished the three gorges damn prices came down below the price of regular where it had traditionally been most of my life. Normally a 20 cent premium or so back then now a buck. I've driven nothing but diesels since 2002. Love them.
When the lefties start talking about price controls, you know it's going to end well. I know that it's easy to glibly say that price controls could be good or bad, shrug, and that Reich is a brilliant economist. But I disagree.
This is where we are headed:
"CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela on Thursday published a list of new price controls for 27 basic food items, fixing the price of eggs, some cuts of meat, and sausage above the monthly minimum wage President Nicolas Maduro set for the inflation-stricken country this week.
The move marked the return of strict state economic controls, after more than a year of relaxation in the face of U.S. sanctions. Maduro’s socialist government is now seeking to calm inflation in the face of a collapse in crude prices, fuel shortages and a national lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus."
Price controls on eggs are good. It means there are eggs.

There are always goods available at the market price. The problem is that forced selling at an artificially low price always means shortages.

This is unfucking real. So a problem that Biden and his Administration all said wasn't real, and then said was "transitory" is now the fault of the Republicans because they don't have a plan. Gawd this administration sucks. As I recall Joe's "plan" when he was saying inflation was "transitory" was to spend trillons more on his BBB "plan." Remember that? Spending trillions on green energy programs and social welfare programs were going to bring down inflation.
