This is very interesting. Even though trump and putin convinced Saudi Arabia to cut back by 10 million barrels a day, it didn't stop the bleeding in the oil market.
The people and market have different ideas.
Now, companies can't find buyers for their oil and have no place to store it. Refineries are refusing new barrels of oil.
It really says something that our own president works to make sure the price of oil and gas stay high.
Good Lord you really have no understanding of economics do you.
Yes, oil prices need to be higher than they are. And it's not because Trump wants to be a big meany-head. It's because if they drop too low our entire oil production industry, which we've spent decades building to the point of independence, will collapse and we'll be right back to being reliant on foreign energy.
Now, what has this current crisis taught you about being dependent on a sovereign state for critical needs? Did you forget already?
It seems the oil industry couldn't figure that out on their own. Why couldn't they?It is kind of like how FDR fought to keep corn and wheat prices up during the Depression by limiting how much could be produced.This is very interesting.

the markets are inherently unstable, moving in wild swings and usually crashing into recessions.
The wisdom of controling production so that entire industries are not destroyed is similar to the wisdom of not over harvesting our resources.
