is just the way the government uses the country... !
exports surging and the country drawing down from its emergency supplies
Exports are surging. But the strategic reserve isn't being replenished as we draw it down dangerously. The logical, smart thing to do would be to move some of those "exports" into the Reserve. Or, move the exports to areas in our own country so we didn't have to draw down the Reserve in a vain attempt to lower prices by a penny or two. But that makes sense (at least to me!). Instead, we're allowing oil companies to export the oil to other countries at large price upwrites for greater profit for themselves. If our own country goes dry and dark? So what? At least the big boys have their money!
These people are country-less. They belong no where. Talk about people who need to be deported out of this country! They pay as little to live here as possible, passing their expenses and taxes on to us, the common people. And yet they're the first to yell when their profits, "speech," or "freedoms" look like they're being abridged. Frankly, I think they should be deported to any country where oil is king. That would be the only place they could even begin to pledge allegiance.
Meanwhile, we have the stupidest government on record in charge right now during a crisis that'll make the 70's and 80's look like Disneyland. JMO... YMMV.
