It's up. See, honesty. Try it.

then how is it the same as 2017?

I have no idea who argued that. But then again, neither do you.

 

[jc456]

the long picture? what are you referring to?

pknopp what do you disagree with?

well you jumped in, shouldn't you find out before sticking your nose in?

Standard procedure. Everything is the fault of the rich.

 

[pknopp]

pknopp what do you disagree with?

Your ignorant response. If you are unable to understand the idea of long term, I have no desire to teach it to you.

 

[pknopp]

well you jumped in, shouldn't you find out before sticking your nose in?

I saw NO ONE argue that.

Does Granny want government price controls?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Oil prices fell with the pandemic and the argument was Trump caused the prices to fall. What else is one to conclude?

The price of oil was up from 2016 until Covid hit. Please explain.

Oil prices were already falling before the pandemic.

Claiming Trump caused covid the fucking moronic...lol

 

[Resnic]

I have no doubt it's about money in the end.

Biden hampers domestic oil production.

Biden buys oil from Russia instead.

Biden sells oil reserves to China.

At the end of the day there is a whole lot kickbacks going on with those deals. There is no reason for it. 18 months ago everything was hunky dory till Biden started reversing all the previous president policies that were working just fine. Just undo those changes and it will be fine again. But money makes people do stupid stuff, even ruin a country to get it.

Oil constantly falls and rises. Oil was lower in 2016 than in 2018. Are you going to argue that Obama was better at keeping oil prices down?

Oil would have went up after we started opening back up after the initial covid shut down even if Trump had won.

Its not going to work.

Maybe argue that Biden has good policies.

 

[Mr Natural]

If they wanted to gouge prices, they could do a lot better than they’re doing.

 

[pknopp]

In general I do not believe that so I would not argue that. You can address what I do argue or continue with your juvenile retorts.

If we would quit trying to control other countries with "economic policies" surrounding energy issues, other countries would be less likely to try and undermine the dollar which would be a positive for the US in the long picture.

No one wants to consider the long picture. They want what they want right now, screw the future.

That is not really how nations operate. We are ALL trying to influence each other through economic and military means at all times. That is universal. We either participate in that dance or we sit on the sidelines as someone else does so to our detriment.

Until we manage to unite the world, nations will always be playing an influencing game. Our largest problem is not that we leverage our economic might to much - it is that we do not so so nearly enough and, instead, leverage our military might far to much. We could use a little more economic pressure and a lot less pressure in the form of bombs.

We see it as one and the same.

It's not. Not even close.

 

[pknopp]

It's not. Not even close.

Of course it isn't but we go to war to enforce our economic policies. It's why the rest of the world is working to undermine the dollar.

Well you'd better hope they aren't successful....

I hope they are. We don't have to have people racing to be the first trillionaire.
