Title: Oil Tops $50
Post by: Ben on January 05, 2021, 04:25:34 PM
Oil topped $50 for the first time in nearly a year. The Saudis are cutting production. I assume when the oil haters are sworn in, we'll be cutting production too via regs and punishments. Bets on $4 gas by July?

No bets. I'm expecting a HUGE crackdown on all kinds of drilling, because everyone knows... You can drill your way to lower gas prices.

And the whole American public must be punished soundly for daring to prove the Godbama wrong.

Heck, lots of great leaders put their faces on their country's currency while they're in power.

According to CBC News, sources say the incoming president plans to rescind the Keystone XL pipeline permit through executive action on his very first day in office. The rescinding of the permit, allowing the pipeline to cross the Canadian border into the United States, will effectively kill the pipeline as well as all the jobs and economic activity associated with the project.

All those red state conservative pipeliners have just got to be punished, along with the red state working stiffs trying to get to work in their pickup trucks.

People are already being laid off due to the Keystone shutdown, and facebook is flagging posts that point that out.

Between killing Keystone and shutting down the border wall it looks like Joe killed close to 10,000 US jobs his very first day in office. Probably quite a few in Canada as well.

The Facebook fact checks are calling the 11000 lost jobs number an “exaggeration”. They are running interference for him like crazy

Horrible exaggeration,  it was only 10994 jobs eliminated with the stroke of Joe's pen.

I expect a refresh of articles on how the oilfield workers should now just learn to code. Or maybe this time an even more out of touch clueless suggestion.

The unions that represent most of those jobs are getting what they voted for.

It's much moar better to ship the oil by train, don't ya' know.  Can't be having any leaks of crude oil from that nasty pipeline.

I think we're going to see something of a schism with unions. I think a lot of blue color unions are going to start getting sidelined or canceled (they deserve it, given past performances) in favor of PC unions like teachers unions and community organizer unions and whatnot.

Too much toxic masculinity in the blue collar unions.

Ol John Kerry (where did they warehouse him after 2004?) delivers his hot take:

Guess they should all move to Asian countries as well since that’s where the solar panel factories are...

No, no, no. We need to do unity and pony up $1000 per solar panel when they make them mandatory for our electricity.
