Episode notes
Government Intervention in Gas Prices
- The government should buy oil at a cheap price and sell it back to lower gas prices.
- This action is necessary because people need immediate solutions, not long-term ones.
Biden's Declining Approval Rating
- President Biden's approval rating has fallen most among young people, despite initial enthusiasm.
- This decline may be because he has not fulfilled certain expectations.

- A short-term gas price plan and a long-term renewable energy plan are necessary.
