You are hilarious.

You do whatever you can to paint a pretty picture as long as it helps Trump.
Yes we all love lower Gas prices. I love lower air fairs.

Facts of life. Why not take a trip to Hawaii? The reason prices are down is because people are not traveling.

But when it comes time to lay off thousands of workers from oil and oil related companies then you tell them how great it is you are paying under $2 a gal.

That's called supply and demand. I didn't make it up. I didn't start this panic, democrats and foolish people like you did.

Many times layoffs beget more layoffs.
We will see how Texas, Oklahoma and Alaska look in a few months.

They will be fine. They've seen worse. This will pass.

Saudi, Russia and the US start to lose money when a barrel of oil drops under $20 - $25
It starts to cost more to produce then t sell.

Now you're an Internet expert on energy production because you saw an episode on CNBC.

Saudi oil cost less to produce but it also COST LESS TO REFINE. That's why they call it SWEET LIGHT CRUDE.

Just reported CNBC that 40% of all US oil pumped out of the ground is losing money now.

Yes... that's why gasoline won't go below the price it cost to produce. When people use less of it, they make less of it.

Now you mix that with a pandemic an an incompetent White House and an Idiot President you can have a recipe for a major recession.

Just what you and your degenerate leadership has been hoping for.

But you just continue gaslighting to try and help make Trump sound good and to help you sleep at night.

Pro tip: Buy low, sell high.

These companies are not really "loosing their asses"; stock prices are down because of media generated market panic.

At the moment these oil companies are losing their ass today.

Marathon Oil Down -51%
Occidental Petro Down 42%
Devon Energy Down -38%
Halliburton Down -38%

A last recommendation for JB.... who thinks that references have any meaning without context. Read books, biographies, history, economics... All current media is slanted. Unless you have a broader understanding, you cannot tell the lies from the truth. A couple good books,

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82895.A_Man
Orianna Fallaci, I was still a kid when I read this in Greece. She was an amazing woman.

https://www.amazon.com/Worldly-Philosophers-Economic-Thinkers-Seventh/dp/068486214X
The Worldly Philosophers. A great read, entertaining, and a great way to get a basic grounding in the hisotry of economics.

https://www.amazon.com/Chi-Minh-Biography-Pierre-Brocheux/dp/0521850622
Ho Chi Minh is interesting, especially as he relates to US imperialism and failed foreign policy.

Read anything in depth, especially if it's not the latest polemic praised by the press. Biographies are a good start. You will learn nothing by skimming the daily pap provided by Google and the corporate media.

Look at @Domainace still trying to dodge. You very well know I've been asking what sources you use for current events/news. Some some book you read as some little kid.

She didn't win three debates; the media declared her the winner. Watch first debate, Trump not only sets the tone / topics, he proves she doesn't even understand the problems. She starts co-opting Trump's solutions and HE OWNS HER AGAIN.

Not the media, the polls. But nice try.

Like I said, leave your 401k alone. #lenncoisacrybaby so don't speculate with money you can't afford to lose.

Some news. Eat up Trumpers, this is a free service I provide you guys since the sources you use, that you're too embarrassed to post @Domainace , probably aren't giving you the real news.

Looks like Trump is having another meltdown. When times get tough, he folds. Joe from Scranton doesn't fold. - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?lang=en

SEEDS OF DESPAIR
More than 450 farmers killed themselves across nine Midwestern states from 2014 to 2018. Meanwhile, calls to Farm Aid's crisis hotline soar.

Saddled with near-record debt, unpredictable climate change and a trade war, Midwest farmers find themselves in a pressure cooker

But U.S. farmers are saddled with near-record debt, declaring bankruptcy at rising rates and selling off their farms amid an uncertain future clouded by climate change and whipsawed by tariffs and bailouts.

Another philosopher.

The only people trying to limit our constitutional rights are democrats. If you disagree, make specific arguments.



Why do ducks quack and sheep go baa?

If it acts like a duck and quacks like a duck, then darn-tooting, you can bet it's a duck.

As a flock of sheep move to new pasture, the leaders will baa, others will follow & answer, baa.

Lies, felony, impeachment, scandle, fraud, manipulating social media, jerry-rigging polls and gerrymandering - yet still they bow down to, defend & cover-up "His Majesty" - he who cannot be named.

What did the people of America fight so valiantly for over two centuries years ago?

Okay, the past is the past...but what of the future?

Does America still have democracy? Freedom of speech? How about freedom of thought?

Shouldn't freedom of thought prevail over rhetoric and follow the bleater?

Fool me once, shame on U, fool me twice, shame on US ...even if just for this one election, please don't be fooled.

All the people who’ve been lying to you for three years didn’t decide to start telling you the truth when Wuhan Virus got to America. Remember that.
