Oil companies' greed to blame for gas prices

According to people I know that work for major oil companies in management, I have been told more than once that the United States of America has enough oil to last us for over one thousand years.

So why is our gasoline now at over $4.59 a gallon? We are not getting any oil from the Strait of Hormuz or from Venezuela. We are using our own oil. So why then, it’s because of the oil companies here in the USA are very greedy and can charge whatever they want for their oil. There is not any part of our government that controls this so the oil companies just get richer and richer at our expense.

I agree with President Trump that Iran cannot ever have a nuclear bomb because they will use it on other countries throughout the world including The United States of America. It has been proven that those people in Iran are crazy, they lie about everything. Currently there is no leader. One guy says one thing and another says another. Iran does not have a leader who is capable of making any decisions good or bad for the people of Iran. Vice President J. D. Vance should be the one to lay down the law to these idiots not Steve Witkoff or President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who looks like a teenager. Vice President J.D. Vance will just simply tell the many so-called leaders of Iran what we will do and when we will do it unless they comply with the agreement laid out by President Trump. Mainly no high-grade uranium capable of making a nuclear bomb will ever be available to Iran to manufacture such a terrible weapon. And the Strait of Hormuz will be opened to all nautical traffic. 

What do you think about this oil and Iran problem, folks?
