OmahaSnowFan Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 It's interesting how you all scream capitalism and massive company profits are great. The US shale companies flooded the oil market with so much oil there was almost nowhere to store it and caused oil prices to go NEGATIVE during the height of the pandemic. Now the global economy and usage is slowly recovering to where it was before and is expected to continue this year and beyond. Go look at the price of oil before the pandemic. It was hovering near $50-60/barrel. Guess where the price is right now? Just under $60 barrel. Prices for oil were in fact higher during a lot of Fat Nixon's presidency reaching as high as $75/barrel in 2018. https://www.macrotrends.net/2516/wti-crude-oil-prices-10-year-daily-chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it's all due to the current TX situation that's fine too.

And he did use that word, as did many politicians for years, including many on the left as the videos prove, among other things. And btw, that video is from CNN so you shouldn’t doubt it! Sarcasm Funny how many people that stormed and rioted at the Capitol and were arrested literally said they thought they were listening to him and doing what he wanted them to do. And they expected a pardon. Even more damming for him was that HE DID NOTHING FOR HOURS AFTER IT STARTED! He was happy this was happening. Multiple people said he was wondering why more people weren’t happier when it was happening. His first tweet was attacking Pence, which that tweet was then read verbatim over a bullhorn by rioters who were chanting they wanted to hang the VP. He sent out a video and a tweet saying he loved them and then stating this is what happens when you “steal an election”. Growing up in SD and NE I still had a couple friends/family that were still somewhat supportive of that POS. But when they saw his lack of effort to shut it down immediately and his praise of the rioters, that’s when they said they were 100% done with that traitor. Any doubt about whether he knew what would happen bc of his rhetoric was wiped away by his lack of immediate action to forcefully stop it for several HOURS while he watched it live on TV. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In lament terms, it basically solidifies the fact that the "cartel" group called OPEC now is in a perfect position to destroy any farther opportunities of keeping prices low. When Trump was in office he knew D**n well that whoever controls the oil supply, controls their nations national security and will drive gas prices low! Russia needs oil to be above $50/bbl to be profitable, the UAE needs it at $20 so they weren't terribly effected. This was a great play by Trump because Russia was loosing billions of dollars, esp in the nat gas play selling nat gas to Poland and other European countries. The U.S. is the worlds leading Oil exporter in crude and natural gas. Now, since Biden took into office, every single country is taking advantage of his idiotic moves in the oil/gas industry and likely future moves. All of us will see the fate of $80-100 barrel prices in oil bc of the fact that OPEC now will be in control. It's unbelievably sad and frustrating watching all of this play out. I cringe when I see our country being used and abused when we could still be producing enormous amounts of crude but not anymore. They say we have a 100 years worth of oil just in the Rockies alone. So much untapped potential. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Communism and it's problematic ideology is about more than just a difference of economies. All the same, globalist puppets like Biden are working towards the "Chinese model" where the masses are controlled by the elite class. Similar was the former USSR.

In lament terms, it basically solidifies the fact that the "cartel" group called OPEC now is in a perfect position to destroy any farther opportunities of keeping prices low. When Trump was in office he knew D**n well that whoever controls the oil supply, controls their nations national security and will drive gas prices low! Russia needs oil to be above $50/bbl to be profitable, the UAE needs it at $20 so they weren't terribly effected. This was a great play by Trump because Russia was loosing billions of dollars, esp in the nat gas play selling nat gas to Poland and other European countries. The U.S. is the worlds leading Oil exporter in crude and natural gas. Now, since Biden took into office, every single country is taking advantage of his idiotic moves in the oil/gas industry and likely future moves. All of us will see the fate of $80-100 barrel prices in oil bc of the fact that OPEC now will be in control. It's unbelievably sad and frustrating watching all of this play out. I cringe when I see our country being used and abused when we could still be producing enormous amounts of crude but not anymore. They say we have a 100 years worth of oil just in the Rockies alone. So much untapped potential. Imagine how disappointed I am. My racing jet skis burn about 7 gallons of premium fuel an hour. I think people who don't realize what Trump was doing are just going to say "just buy an electric car" without realizing there are semi trucks that get 2mpg delivering all their food and goods to them. At least I rode them a ton last year and took advantage of it. I think we will go back to those things costing me over $50/hr to run by the time you add the oil (it's a two stroke) and pay for premium gas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much untapped potential. The price of oil is where it was before the pandemic hit when Fat Nixon was in office. It's funny you think Donald knew what he was doing. Look at the history of the price of oil during his presidency. It went up and down. Shale boomed and then a ton of companies had to go out of business because there was too much oil. OPEC is keeping production low bc we were literally running out of places to put it. Remember when oil went negative for a day? OPEC reduced production when Fat Nixon was in office too. When oil is $10/barrel and gas $1 like apparently you want it, companies go bankrupt. Just look at what happened to all the US shale companies when the price of oil went below $40/barrel. I guess you just want Exxon and the big guys controlling the market? It's hilarious how you think that we're suddenly going to a zero producer oil as an energy source. It's also pretty sick how you apparently want to just pump baby pump rather than looking for better alternative permanent cleaner energy sources. But yeah lets use all the oil on the planet first and while we're at it tear up the Rockies bc 'Murica needs to control the oil usage/production on this entire planet.

I’m all for green energy and waste-to-energy. In fact, I’m in the process of sourcing funding for a hydrogen waste energy project here in the US. Trump was looking out for the best interests of America and not the global elite oil tycoons. If he was still in office, I can bet with confidence oil would not be trading at $60+ per barrel. The reason why there was a glut of oil in March/April of last year was because demand tanked due to the pandemic and the costs storing the oil was significantly more. Traders sold the oil at a loss so they wouldn’t carry the storage costs. That was an anomaly bc of the global lock downs. Sure, some businesses shut down when oil was priced low but it did not out weigh the benefits of low priced oil. The world will eventually shift towards green tech but it has to be done slowly and without governments forcing the issue, esp not how the “green new deal” would be implemented by AOC, Bernie and the rest of the Lib’s. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie doesn't look out for anyone but himself, been that way his whole life. That's why his "charity" was shut down for fraud. His university was shut down for... fraud for ripping people off bc all he cared about was making money. He's been the same arrogant fraud conman his whole life. Has had thousands of lawsuits against him for not paying people and ripping people off. He shits on a gold toilet and has his own penthouse in New York and golf resorts around the world. Yeah definitely not an elite. When Donnie took office oil was $54/barrel. It briefly fell as low as $42/barrel. Then from 6/2017 to 10/2018 it ROSE all the way to $74 barrel. It briefly collapsed to $42/barrel again in 12/2018, before you guessed it, it rose back to $50-60 barrel for most of 2019. In fact before it collapsed before the pandemic it was nearly $63 barrel. I'm not sure what planet you were living on where oil and gas was dirt cheap while he was in office because of any "policy" he had. https://www.macrotrends.net/2516/wti-crude-oil-prices-10-year-daily-chart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like we're still producing the same amount of oil since Biden took office (minus the week of the extreme cold in the country). https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_crude_oil_field_production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
