I am in no way saying that we should get rid of oil right now and have never said anything of the sort. We may not need it to run our personal automobiles for long but we use it to make a TON of things besides gasoline. We should absolutely get rid of it if we have an alternative that is better/cheaper but that doesn't exist right now.

What I am advocating for is efficient markets and more economic prosperity at a macro level. Let the Saudis sell oil for $17/barrel if that's what they want to do. No need to game the system so that raw materials are more expensive.

You’re full of shite.

And your constant edits are tiresome. I feel good knowing you’re a try hard who will never get what he wants.

You’re boring me now.

It’s not sustainable. And you would rather hurt the economy and your fellow citizens than keep it strong. All because of your fricked up political religion. We get it. Because that’s the exact thing you’ve been advocating for for over an hour now.

I laid out, with facts, why cheap oil is GOOD for the economy. Just like cheap textiles, cheap steel, cheap paper, cheap electronics, cheap furniture, etc are all good for the economy. It's weird to think that oil is the only commodity that we should want to pay more for.

America barely manufactures anything anymore and we keep chugging along.

It is you who is akin to religious fanaticism when it comes to oil prices. I'm not even that political. I don't knight for any political parties.

If your industry is important to national security then you may want to stop outsourcing your IT to other countries. Maybe that should be a requirement. You know, for national security.

Looks like crude and Brent are back in the $20s at the moment.

They think it will stay here. It wont. The price will rebound once many american companies go under. Saudi needed 42 dollars a barrel last I read. Russia needs 46.

If they we in such terrible shape they would just cut production. Their long term goal is working so far. Hurt other oil producers, particularly shales, and buy up stocks of oil companies at low prices. Once they cut production oil prices will go back up and those stocks will likely recover.

Bottom line is as shale producers we got too good at it. Too efficient. It's a war to eliminate competition.
