It was multiple reasons, the primary one was inflation and the economy. I know you have difficulty wrapping your head around multiple thought concepts. You are perhaps the most black/white thinker I’ve ever encountered. Or you do it to satisfy your deep need to stir the pot. Feel free to rebut.
Inflation was everything. If people were rolling in dough, they wouldn't give a shit about "The Border". When they are feeling pain, nobody wants to blame themselves, they got to blame someone else. Blame the damn immigrants who took er jerbs. Or yeah, eggs are expensive because immigrants are eating them all using their sweet sweet EBT money.
Most of the people bitching about "The Border" probably don't even have a passport. Would have trouble finding their state border let alone the US Border. "The Border" is a modern "We have always been at war with EastAsia". Biden Broke The Border. Trump Fixed The Border. 99.999% of the people claiming this have no actual concept of what might be going on at the border other than what someone on the talking machine tells them.
But they see the gas prices on the board daily. Hopefully the stuff on the talking machine about that there strait of hormel is true and gas prices drop. Of course it won't be for a while because gas already delivered was paid for at higher prices.
Shell recorded higher profits this quarter despite reduced oil and natural gas production, due to "significant increases in oil trading profits". Pawns in their game.
