CNN’s ballsy enough to edit this out of context and scramble it even further. “Trump Congratulates Hundreds of Putins to Be President of the United States.”

I just highlighted the bold text in your post and searched it and yep every one of the usual outlets has negative stories about it.

This is matches it exactly..

Yes, we are. George Washington, Ghengis Kahn, and Alexander the Great might give him a run for his money on the GOAT title though. They did some pretty big things too.

But DJT keeps creating greatness, no doubt.

I was the first person on here on record as saying Fauci was part of the ongoing coup attempt.

I wish I was wrong. Dr Doom big farma Fauci; we'll see if DJT knew this perfectly well by how he reacts. Although he's not always easy to read. He may continue holding these cards close to his chest. But Fauci would do no less damage if fired. I think it would be a bigger problem for MAGA, and I think DJT has been "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

MSM is owned by globohomos. Fed came first. Then influence over academia via CFR and Rhodes Scholarships. Not sure when they bought up big pharma, but the timeline suggests 1964 at the latest.

While this is enough to wield substantial control and I have not been able to trace the same individuals to MIC, I have to think they own at least a substantial stake in that, too.

someone explain to me why the fuck i should be glad i have to pay more at the pump? if these retards want to dump $1/gallon gas on the market why should i be upset?

While it sucks to have to pay more at the pump, we're still the largest producer of oil in the world. This is one of our largest industries. Without them, we all end up hurting eventually, in terms of job losses and a major industrial loss and many other sectors reliant on the American oil industry.

Get a job in US oil, or especially shale and you’ll understand.

Economics is all a balancing act

7
DisgustedByMisleadia 7 points ago +7 / -0

Aside from the job losses, it's a strategic loss for the US, too.

If the price of oil is too low, there's no incentive to do exploration and drilling. They would have no possibility of even covering their costs, much less make a profit.

Unlike state-owned oil companies, the US can't just order domestic producers to drill for oil/gas, even though they are guaranteed to lose money.

So, exploration dries up, and the US becomes dependent on foreign oil purchases. If that supply is interrupted (by war, or an embargo like in the 70's), then we don't have enough and we can't go out and drill wells instantly.

The only reason oil isn't sitting at $120/bbl is because of the uncompetitive U.S. oil industry. Hell, the only reason oil isn't sitting at $80/bbl is because of fracking wells we drilled when it was super profitable to do so.

The Saudis (and OPEC) can't control the top end of the market like they used to because America has fracking wells...and lots of them.

if ti weren't for the American (and Canadian) uncompetitive fracking wells, you would almost certainly be paying $4.00+ per gallon at the pump.

You smell that? That's what energy independence smells like.

1
Hektik 1 point ago +1 / -0

It's also that the U.S. for most the time has been sitting on our stockade of Oil and using cheap labor from the Saudis/Russians until they started to wise up.

The U.S. might actually have the largest Untapped Oil Stockade now.

Yeah, it's believed that the Baken oil field in S. Dakota and Eastern Montana is the largest and most voluminous oil field in the world. There are other shale oil fields in America that have yet to be fully explored.

US oil companies need prices to be somewhere between $30-$60/bbl for it to be profitable for them to pump oil out of their shale oil wells (depending on the well). Russia needs it to be at about $40/bbl. The Arabs, and in particular the Saudis, only need like $12/bbl to be profitable. This is the price it costs just to pump, transport and administer the oil /oil wells. Anything under these numbers and those companies/nations will be paying to supply the world with oil.

This situation is mitigated for fracking wells (mostly U.S. and Canadian oil companies), because they can simply turn the wells off and then turn them on later when prices are high. Only fracking wells can do this. Normal wells (most of the rest of the world) must continue to pump oil or their wells will be destroyed and they will have to pay to re-drill those wells when prices shoot back up.

That being said, many U.S. oil companies are highly leveraged and cannot survive a prolonged shutdown without going bankrupt. Mind you, this does not mean their wells will be lost. The wells will be sold off to companies that can better manage their finances, but in the mean time, a lot of people will be out of work regardless if companies go out of business or not.

However, the Saudis need oil to be $80bbl or higher to pay all their government funded public spending programs. Oil will never be that high again any time in the next few decades so their coffers will still run dry unless they cut back on public spending, but they probably can't do that because unrest against the Crown is high and the only thing keeping a revolt form happening is the free money they are handing out to their citizens.

Oil prices crash

Trump first buys up all the oil to fill their reserves at rock bottom prices

Trump then negotiates the deal to start bringing things back to normal

Man, the left may be right. Only the dumbest man in the world would do this. A smart man would have driven the price up to $200 a barrel before buying. /s

So nearly $3 a Gallon is good? Maybe for them but it puts the squeeze on us. I don't wanna go back to $2.87 a gallon. That's fucking ridiculous.

I don't know about the Russians, but the Saudi cost of producing oil is very low: about $5/barrel.

I don't know if taxes are included in those production costs. But in the US, taxes alone are about $5/barrel. That article is from 2018, but the data is from 2014.

justwinning 11 points ago +12 / -1

Because energy independence and not giving money to OPEC is huge positive for the US. If we allow all our oil industry to go bankrupt then we lose all that and lose a bunch of jobs too. By the US producing oil we keep OPEC and Russia from being able to play their price games.

Oil price will still be pretty low so you'll still get cheaper gas but not at the price that would bankrupt our oil industry.

MAGA_MAN92 1 point ago +6 / -5

Makes sense but there has to be a balance somewhere. We're getting raped at the pumps before Russia and S.A started their drilling war. I don't wanna ay over $2 a gallon anymore after these prices. Hell I haven't seen gas this cheap since the early 90's.

cream_y 10 points ago +10 / -0

Dude, you said it yourself. Gas hasn't been this cheap since the 90s in a lot of places. Heres the thing though: $1.59 in 1995 is $3.14 in "2020 money." Gas right now at $1.59/gal in "2020 dollars" is insanely cheap. Cheaper than anyone realizes. It's not sustainable and like someone else said, it will crash our US oil industry if it remains.

There is a break even for the oil industry. $23 a barrel isn't cutting it for them I guess. I agree, I like my $1.89 a gallon gas.

salvecitizen 4 points ago +4 / -0

'Buy American' doesn't come for free. In many industries, we can't get both rock-bottom prices and an independent economy. We make trade-offs, and the trade-offs look different when it touches your own job or someone close to you.

Also, $1.52 was a spike down, not a potential new normal.
