So, the White House Twitter intern decided he/she were being Super Smart
My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

The vast majority of gas station owners are small businesses, either individually owned or companies that own a few. Some own a lot. But, almost none are actually owned by the fossil fuels companies like Shell, Exxon, BP, etc. They are licensed, sorta like McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway. They also make only a small amount of money per gallon. Are they supposed to give up their small profits? Is Biden working for free? How about his Twitter interns? His appointed agency heads?
Working on it Mr. President. In the meantime – have a Happy 4th and please make sure the WH intern who posted this tweet registers for Econ 101 for the fall semester… https://t.co/6yLpbDDRKc

Biden would probably be pretty mad if he actually saw the tweet, but, he probably doesn’t understand this newfangled social media stuff, and he’s too busy taking lots of fossil fueled trips at taxpayer expense. He came back from Europe on Thursday, flew to Camp David Friday, and is flying back today.
