Standing at the back of your truck and eating boudin with other slack jawed idiots from your job site sounds like a sure fire way to stay employed. I'd posit that you repeating dumb shite you heard on TikTok or TD was a great way to prove your lack of critical thinking skills, but you've beat me to it.

Missing the point. Our concern of inventories should consist of SPR, not France’s, England’s, India’s or even Japan’s as they should stockpile correctly for that moment we are in now. The same people that complain about America being the world police or those that want America to constantly use its treasury to upgrade other nations are the ones bitching about price of oil. If Americans are to engage then unrelenting action should be done, thus making it less likely to escalate uncertainties. Proper inventories of individual nations should be their focus as should ours. Exxon’s of the world are forward thinking for the most part, but somehow curtail refining because of political pressures on infrastructure.

Back away from the keyboard Suckston. I wasn't the first one in this string to bring up the SPR .
Biden released oil from it to try and prop up oil pricing before the elections. Theyre accusing Trump of much the same here.

US crude inventories are dropping, and I don’t understand why we aren’t ramping up production. We don’t even need to drill more.

Who fricking cares about this stupid trump vs biden thing you are pushing? Biden is gone. Everything that happens now and in to the future is what matters. That is what will actually affect your life. You seem to be totally fine with high prices just because Biden had them. It's wild.

21 % of global oil passes though the Strait
Some has been diverted over land and some has gotten through so lets call it 19% has been blocked which is probably high.
Factor in the purchase of oil in other places like US and South America there wont be any dangerously low levels.
Exxon Execs can shut the frick up with this bullshite Scare tactic lies

People crying about the SPR have very short memories anyway. When the price of oil went to practically nothing during Trump's first Term, he wanted to buy and store all of it he could lay his hands on.
When it was 29 a barrel? Guess who stopped him? Schumer. LINK

You are still whining about the SPR when this is a global supply issue. Can you read?

Why?
Because if ANYONE was going to be as productive and efficient at home as they would be in the office, people wouldn't want to do it so badly.
The whole reason people want to do it is because they KNOW they will frick off 3-4 times as much at home. That's the whole attraction to it. That and commuting, which is not an argument IMO. If your commute is too long, move closer to work.
And before you tell me that it's not about the amount of time it takes to do something, it's just about "getting your work done," if you do that I am going to ask you then why shouldn't your employer start requiring you to do twice as much work, if the amount of time it takes to do it is irrelevant to the equation.

No, I'm not. I want people to understand where the blame actually lies. Biden drew the SPR down. Schumer blocked Trump from filling it completely when oil was 29 a barrel.
How many Presidents have let Iran run wild while mumbling about not letting them get a nuke? Now one actually tries to do something about it, and the Left goes crazy.You got any doubt what those maniacs would do if they got one?

It’s a refined product issue more than crude level issue. Refineries in the ME have been damaged/blocked

I understand about all that, Crude doesn't come out of a gas pump. I am not the one that raised the SPR issue to begin with,
If you read the Fox News story I linked you have Schumer screaming for us to tap the SPR , now why would he do that? To affect the price of crude.
Correct me if I am wrong but the price of crude affects the price of gasoline.
Now he's screaming about the SPR...the one Biden drained and the one HE wouldn't let Trump fill when prices were dirt cheap.

You seem to be stuck on stupid. I never said that was their topic, but the answer of American interest in of oil inventories relates to the capacity of storage ( SPR mostly), any other nations inventories are their concern especially since most seem to think lowly of America. Exxon stating the obvious that daily needs are overwhelming stockpiles is on those nations, hence why relief is found at our ports. If Hormuz stayed shut down for another year of course things hurt but nowhere near what would happen if nuclear catastrophe came into play years from now in that region or if Iran was emboldened to export onto American soil. This should have been handled harshly decades ago

Really?

that's correct. So when the price goes up people make decisions to use less, like working from home. So I guess we're both right.

This seems like such a common sense thing to curb demand, and yet people get downvoted into oblivion every time they suggest it. I’m sure the oil lobby is radically against it.
You can stay home dude. No one is stopping any of you.
It's always, someone else do something!
