$100 Oil? Remember the Middle East and more "Gifts" to Trump and Family?

2 billion to Jared?
400 million dollar Plane to Donald?
More money to Donald from Kuwait and Friends?
Billions to Trump for his Board of Peace? Etc. Etc...
Plus much, much more of the lying myth of "less than $2.00 per gallon gas (oil-pipe dream)..plus other lies.

If you didn't live through the oil crises of the 70s, you now know what it means when they say (bad) history (Republicans and the Wealthy) repeats itself...but only during Republican Administrations.
"SCO-tus" limits tariffs? Business gotta get more from the public
Untold new wealth for American Business at the expense of what's left of this population.
And then, more new taxes from which the wealthy will be exempt!
Truly is the new Gilded Age...for a few.
And guess who's gonna pay for this, if it CAN be paid for?
Remember the mass graves during covid? If only it were that few...

A few tens of thousands wealthy against 300plus million! And the 300plus million will roll over with their empty tummies scratched like a happy mongrel.

Coincidence? Hardly!
Ignorant? Definitely!

And what does upper middle class America Say? "What? Me Worry? It doesn't affect me that much, so ...whatever."

Are we (us-them) that stupid?

Abso-fucking-lutely!

But, the Saudis, with no external impetus, decided to increase production, causing prices to drop.
I'm outraged about how this crime family has enriched themselves by leveraging temporary residency in the WH.
But, the Saudis don't control oil prices and their current rate of production in under half that of the US. If we add Canada and Mexico, North America produces nearly 3x the oil as does Saudi Arabia.
The Iran misadventure will probably push oil prices up, but $100 seems unrealistically high.
