I think I remember the last time oil plummeted some genius decided to hoard a bunch of cheap gas in containers in their garage. Naturally it all exploded.

It’s amazing how literally one propaganda news channel amongst the like 500+ available to Americans can just effortlessly destroy this 244-year-old country in mere years. It’s like a loving magic program made to make the elderly hate and kill, like some poo poo out of a Batman comic.

I think it was supposed to cost $2 trillion over a decade

2 trillion over a decade was the "tell the CBO they have to believe our lies about how much growth this will cause" number, basically a lie. In practice the CBO was projecting 1T+/year deficits for a decade and a cost of 4-5+T for that tax cut until the "temporary" tax changes for individuals wears off in 2028.. and that was before the economy imploded.

This has got to be something specific to West Texas Intermediate, right? Like, something happened that makes it so they won't be able to deliver on contracts, so said contracts are worthless. There's no way Crude is THAT worthless all of a sudden.

Apparently Saudi arabia had forced prices down by about 60$ in an attempt to pressure Russia and combined with the dramatic drop in demand for oil and gasoline, things just kinda cratered.

This is literally the problem. They don't know the effects of stopping production on wells under active fracking so they don't want to stop pumping but they're run out of barrels.

I get the feeling now that work from home practices were being fought against by big oil because they want people to travel to work.

(even before covid my coworkers and I were fighting for the right to work from home, even not as a standard, and there was never any real reason why no, except that not everybody can work from home, so it's unfair. Says the boss who works from home every now and then)

The demand for oil has dropped dramatically and the supply has remained the same so the prices have cratered?

So the economy is gone, yeah? Just another nail in the coffin?
