And we can't have that now, can we? Isn't it so much easier to blame the government like it's some independent entity over which we have no control?
In this country WE are the government, the government is US. That's kind of the whole fricking point of this country in the first place - SELF-RULE.
It's adorable that you think the DC machine is an entity that can actually be reigned in. We have a government that's in the process of making sure that anyone resisting them will be thrown into jail forever.
WE are not the government. WE are controlled by an unaccountable bureaucracy that's in bed with giant corporations that do the bidding of the government where they cannot.
You're an ideologue, which explains your ridiculous takes on all kinds of shite on this board.

oof
It doesn't. If you believe otherwise, you've been misled.
Keep in mind that I did NOT say that government never opposes commerce, just that that's not what it exists to do.
Sometimes government actually promotes commerce.

“America Last” is a great campaign slogan - not as good as “As long as it takes!” But he’s on to something.

I mean no offense, and I’ll explain this as politely as I can, but you’re thinking about our govt and this administration all wrong.
They are not here to help. They are here to harm. And they’re moving at warp speed, because Trump delayed their plans for four years.
When you change your perspective, and realize this truth, this action and many others like it will not be shocking.

Tomorrow they'll be defending the O&G companies who sold the 5MM to Europe.

If this is "Building Back Better" I'd hate to see what the alternative is.

We would be so much better off as a country if we stayed out of Europe’s business.
The only exception would be dealing with the Nazis. The only one.

Raytheon said they do not have the materials to produce stinger missiles and won’t until 2023 or 2024.
Oil reserve gone. Materials needed to produce strategic weapons gone. Military dwindling. Obviously Russia and China are controlling certain commodities and raw material shipments. How long before they cut them off and simultaneously attack our Allie’s in Europe and China
During wwii we had the ability to get raw materials from Russia and China to fight Germany and Japan.

Why are we sending even a gallon of our strategic reserve to anyone?
It's the dealing of that oil in dollars that keeps the dollar circulating and relevant.
Those are the desperate measures that have to be taken when the dollar has no value otherwise.

one point the OT cheered opening up crude oil exportation.
Are you dumb, or just stupid? Exportation beyond producing enough to self maintain is not the same as selling off reserves. Part of being the most powerful nation in America means having healthy reserves. I am not particularly fond of even releasing this to our own country...that is something I am willing to pay extra to prevent as we couldn't release enough to make a significant dent in the cost. What we absolutely should never do is release reserves to foreign countries, especially when our country is having a serious supply issue. This dude needs to drop dead already.
