Fuck You Saudi Arabia

[gab13by13]

Gas is $3.99 in central Pa.

Saudi Arabia trying to repay Trump for the stolen classified documents.

1. Fuck you, big oil companies

Profiteering all the way.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. Yep. Giving a boost to Russian oil.

[JohnSJ]

2. It isn't just oil companies. I think most of Wall Street also. Fitch lowering the credit rating of

the US at this particular time I think is evidence of that.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Since Jimmy Carter -- the price of crude oil is the most important THING.

Hostages, like all the wars for oil since, jack up the barrel price.

Say the price goes from $20 to $120. All the reserves go up in value, too. So, if SA's are worth a trillion it becomes $6 trillion.



No wonder they called him Bandar Bush.

4. North Dakota here. Fucking gas was $3.19 now

$3.69 ONE WEEK

5. There was an article yesterday of how US oil exports were helping Europe and Asia.

6. CA. Amazed at those low prices. But F Big Oil anyway.

Big oil owns damn near everything and everyone who could possibly contain Big oil. Until government is eliminated, which seems to be one of their strategies, they own it.

America's moral compass largely points to money. Or is that MoreOil compass.

Putin and MBS, who are paupers without oil bought an entire government.

Citizens United against civilization.

7. They have way more things on their mind that Drumpf

I watched this documentary last night, almost an hour long but gives ALL the issues they have. Going back to FDR's deal with Abdul Aziz ibn Saud to the present. 90% of the states income comes from oil and they only have a couple decades of that left. Without that cash flow threats internal and external will finally wipe out the monarchy.

8. GOOD!!

"finally wipe out the monarchy"

[okaawhatever]

9. SA and other OPEC Countries have agreed to reduce output in a bid yo

raise prices. SA just announced a cut of another 1m barrels per day.

11. Time to run full E85 again in my flex fuel.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕to the Saudis.

12. Proving once again that we're all in denial about global warming.

People will still be complaining about gasoline prices as our civilization is collapsing all around us.

For the record, my wife and I live in California and drive a car that gets 50 miles per gallon. You've no doubt heard about gasoline prices here. I don't commute, and gasoline is a negligible expense in our family budget.

For me, the gas situation hasn't been so good since I was a young man making $8.00 an hour and I could fill the tank of my little Toyota for less than $7.00

Wild and free, unconcerned about gasoline prices, I drove all over the U.S. American West and Northern Mexico.

At other times I had no money at all, and no working car. (Feast or famine has always been my life.)

There's a solution to this gasoline problem. We need to rebuild our cities, turning them into attractive affordable places where car ownership is unnecessary.

Then we need to ban fossil fuels entirely, replacing them with synthetic carbon neutral fuels made using nuclear power. (The United States Navy has already demonstrated one way of doing this.)

Sadly it seems we'll continue to deny that global warming is a problem, promote "solutions" to the problem that don't work, or blame the problem on someone else.

13. That is absolutely not it,

I can afford 3.99/gallon, but raising gasoline prices will raise inflation. It will cost more to get products to market.

[hunter]

14. And inflation is worse than a world on fire?

Rising prices caused by global warming, especially the impact of crop failures on food prices, will surely be worse and will hit lower income people the hardest.

Everyone eats.

Inflation caused by rising fuel prices is less important.
