Prices plummeting by me. I paid $3.90 today in Florida. I knew Biden had this. At this rate it should be down to around a dollar a gallon soon like back when I was a teen.

July 17, 20224 yr Saudis could have increased their production months ago if they were pressed. That's what kills me. Not that I'm a fan of Trump, but he found the correct way to play the Saudis: threaten to pull the US military out of Saudi Arabia.

July 17, 20224 yr 3 hours ago, EaglesRocker97 said: Maybe, but that has to seem like an empty threat. Well it actually worked before. Back when COVID started and oil demand plummeted the Saudis started pumping oil like crazy to F over Russia. They knew the end users would get backed up. The Saudis could just keep parking tanker ships off shore, but the Russians use pipelines, and once a pipeline is at capacity you can't move anything else through it, so they couldn't sell their oil. So with the Saudis pumping so much out, the price dropped well below the level that was needed for American oil recovery to be profitable (oil sands are more expensive to extract oil from). So Trump called them and asked them to stop, and when they said no, he said well then kiss the US goodbye and you can fend off Iran yourself. The Saudis then cut back on production. For as much as Trump was a buffoon and didn't get international politics, he got that one right. I think the issue with Biden and others on the left is that they treat every other country like a European one and try and soften things over, when in reality every now and again you're gonna have to be an a-hole. It's just that Trump was an a-hole all the the Fn time.
