What should he be doing instead? If he somehow had the legal authority to make companies cut production in the US, gas prices would increase drastically, the price of everything made with oil or transported with oil (which is basically everything) would spike, and consumption wouldn't even go down much.

Because the voters aren't holding their elected officials accountable. People should be following bills like this and voting against politicians that don't support it. Then holding the ones that said they support it accountable if they don't follow through (after fully understanding why they didn't/couldn't).
People on here call this pandering. Good. Saying that they will do things that benefit society is a good thing. Maybe the problem is with the party that campaigns and the people who give them votes on a platform of hurting society.
They would be struggling a whole lot less if Putin wasn't actively ripping the USA apart from the inside.
Kids are more open to change than adults.
The credit card company might agree to a chargeback, but then Sony will ban you and block access to the rest of the content you bought.
That's legit the reason why Lara Croft is the star of Tomb Raider.
