People don't understand that the president does not own the oil industry or food production. I a capitalistic society those industries are privately owned or publicly owned if they are traded on any of the exchanges. That means that that those commodities will carry the highest price that the market will bear. Since the Reagan years competition in the petroleum industry and in the food industry competition has been getting smaller and smaller due to mergers and by squeezing out businesses that were competitive but either not willing to merge or deemed not to be consequential enough to warrant a merge. With fewer competitors and a significant amount of evidence to suggest collusion in pricing the controlling corporations have been increasing their profit margins by unnatural amounts to the point where they are setting records quarter after quarter after quarter without doing things that could possibly account for the increases. It's called price gouging and Joe Biden is the only president in history who is requesting legislation to make it stop.

Good point... Voting isn't just about federal issues. I would offer the same answer, that I did for your jury duty question if not for the fact that unlike jury selections, there is no overarching rule that says you have to be a citizen to vote. The rules are established at each level of government for which the election is applied and there are examples throughout our history where non-citizens were allowed to vote.

For me personally, it's the same rule that I mentioned earlier. I advocate meritocracy. If you are working to contribute toward the community you should have a voice. Period. I don't give a fat rats ass about whether someone is a citizen or not. In fact I advocate for the abolishment of citizenship entirely. It's an entitlement and nothing more. Most people get their citizenship by virtue of being born here and like I said rats and fleas are also born here. So it literally means nothing.

Most criminals are in fact, citizens... that includes rapists, murders, thieves, thugs and traitors. That means that being a citizen is NO guarantee that you have any interest in defending or contributing to this country or the people in it, especially if you're a citizen by birth, because these are the people that never had to swear an oath just to be a citizen.

Short of abolishing the elitist concept of citizenship entirely, I would strongly urge that NO ONE can become a citizen without going through the same naturalization process that immigrants have to go through. Take the damned civics test that most US-born citizen can't even pass and swear an oath. THEN we can at least say that a citizen is someone who has at least promised to uphold the national interest.
