@TuckerMax@braxton_mccoy There is also an element of consensus manufacturing.
With most people following what they believe to be consensus, it's a form of population level mind control.
@grilledmfcheeze@CesspoolX0@Timcast There's also the very likely possibility that they're a liar and they're just trying to run cover for the disastrous war.
@USPrimarch@Timcast Petroleum does not equal crude oil, the specific concern we have.
Also, oil is a global commodity. Even if we source largely from other sources, a supply crunch globally will force those prices up as well, as we've seen is happening.
@Fred00738342098@Timcast The makeup of that "net export" matters. We export some crude (HBLs make us net exporters of petroleum), but on net, we import about 2-3Mb/d currently. According to published SPR data, we have about 75-115 days available in reserve. Not nothing, but certainly not infinite.
@BRRRRcollects@Badgebunny666@RealAlexJones Kamala probably would have been 80% the same with more immigration. That's worse for sure, but only if you ignore what follows after Trump. If we're going to get 80% of the same policy, I'd rather not waste a generational coalition on it.
@Badgebunny666@RealAlexJones Your 2 and 8 are backwards I'm afraid.
Go ahead and weight the shitty Trump reality against your Harris Boogeyman and ignore that Trump is ushering in a wave of DSA candidates because he so badly betrayed what he stood for. I voted for him too. It sucks, but don't be ignorant.
@Badgebunny666@RealAlexJones No Epstein accountability and another foreign war of choice on behalf of Israel betrays all of that. Folding USAID and controlling the border were slam dunks, but everything that's followed has been awful, and many of your wins had nothing to do with the admin at all.
@Badgebunny666@RealAlexJones And that was bad too. Almost seems like they're on the same team. No mention of the Middle East war of choice after campaigning directly against such actions? Trump betrayed his campaign promises, and voters will punish his party for it. Simple as that.
@RealAlexJones Baris will be maligned all the way to the midterms when he's proven right. The GOP now is like the DNC of Covid. Clinging to straws to deny obvious reality. We saw how it went for them and we'll see the same again. The facade can only be maintained for so long.
