This is called the classic mind control conditioning the oil companies are famous for. Pre install the fear and justification to make obscene profits in broad daylight while crying costs and crisis that don't exist to any appreciable justifiable level while banking record profits. Many different industries do the same thing.

Last month, OPEC+ left its demand forecast unchanged for 2022 and 2023, saying major economies were faring better than expected amid surging inflation. It predicts oil demand to rise by 2.7 million bpd next year, down from this year's forecast of an increase of 3.1 million bpd.

"If OPEC cuts a million barrels a day, I think gas prices would go back up to $6 a gallon," said John Catsimatidis, CEO of United Refining Company, which operates a 70,000-bpd oil refinery in Pennsylvania and sells fuel in the U.S. Northeast.
