I’ve already explained why they don’t want to drill, The major reason being they are making billions right now.

You keep going to back supply, yes I get it. It’s also demand, kids are out for school, we just recently drove about 1000 miles the last few days. Economy is hot, people are spending money.

Well, it isn't like kids weren't doing the exact same thing in 2018-2019 when gas prices were ~60% of what they currently are, even considering seasonal variance. People appear to be spending more money because the "money supply" increased drastically, not simply because the economy is hot.

This is obviously a more complex problem than "x did that" or "there is a war", but cause and effect can't be ignored.
