Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Dontrike]

This does not even pretend to compare and contrast the celebrity and elite endorsements Kamala obtained in her presidential run.

Endorsement is not the same as having an actual job in the White House. You could at least try better, and smarter.

Are you insane? Are you seriously suggesting that Trump stacking his cabinet with rich, out of touch billionaires and literally creating a "department" of grift as a gift for a megalomaniacal billionare sociopath is the equivalent to the fact that people like Taylor Swift just endorsed her? Like, if she had created a government department of media presence and appointed Swift as it's head, you might have something approaching an argument, but as it stands, the two things are not even remotely comparable.

They're not endorsements, they're the ones that'll be running the country. Learn to know the difference.

What position do you think Beyonce would have been given by Kamala if she'd won?

Not much to add on my end.

That makes the incoming administration look awful... swampy.

Americans were upset about rich people buying politicians.
So they just put rich people directly into politics, that way they don't have to buy others. ez problem fixed...

Wait until all those unused drilling permits get snatched up, this is just the beginning.

We're all waiting for you to have something substantial to say...rather than post and run away.

For the love of all that is holy get some basic education, oil is a commodity the price is up to the market which is why there is a cartel. The United States is already energy independent and exports most of its oil overseas which hasn't lowered or increased oil prices on its own because of said oil cartel. Last but not least drilling permits doesn't mean you magically get oil, it takes years to get the infrastructure up and running. Sometimes companies just hold on to the permits for periods of time in order to time the market because of the cost of production.

The level of stupidity in your post is embarrassing.

[Moralgy]

Stop pointing out that the incoming administration is the most wealthy, out of touch administration this nation has ever seen, filled with some of the least qualified people to hold those positions!

Republicans and other Americans voting a far more explicit and transparent oligarchy is pretty fun, IMO.

"hes just like me frfr" - conservatives looking at this administration from their cardboard houses.

She'd be Chief Thief because she steals all her artistic "shit". Come at me beyhive.

You drop the price any lower, US fracking companies won't make any profit and will stop drilling. We are not SA that can produce the oil at break even point of $15 per barrel.

Oil production went up under Biden. Are you thanking him?

We've been over this - if prices are continuing to drop there's no incentive to do expensive exploration. There's all kinds of land available now that's not being explored because it's simply not worth the cost to look around and then potentially spin up operations with the current supply and demand.

Literally the prices going down, which have nothing to do with Donald Trump (please explain in your own words how you think this works), actively discourages expensive oil exploration.

It's like Trump supporters don't understand how society functions.

But think of all the priceless national land we are going to hand over to oligarchs and multi national corporations that will destroy it so they can buy themselves a third yacht and new mistress. Sure we can never ever get that land back the way it was but it's going to a good cause /s

Pretty sure President MBS is giving Vice President Trump some nice PR that he can use.

Let's also recall that leaving oil and natural gas in the ground, as they're largely non-renewable, guarantees that they'll still be present later on, when supplies become scarcer and thus prices much higher.

Literally the only reason to rush to exploit these resources is the hope of cashing a quick buck for personal gain. It doesn't benefit the country or the citizenry in any way whatsoever. It only helps particularly short-sighted oil barons. You've got to be a special kind of ridiculous to back that kind of push if you're not one of the people sitting on millions you're gonna invest into that land yourself. Even from a strictly capitalist perspective. It's just spectacularly stupid.

They were unused for a reason, there either wasn't oil or the wrong kind of oil.

Funny thing is, this exact thing happened multiple times over the past 20 years. The only reason why the price of oil has not dropped is because Russia currently cannot sell their oil on the commodities market. If they could, they would flood the market with oil and proceed to tank the price. Which, from what happened during the first Trump term, would cause a LOT of US fracking companies to shut down.

High paying oil jobs and the price of oil are directly related. Want those oil jobs that pay well? The price of oil must stay above $62/barrel. Otherwise, they start to shut down wells which means job losses.

Oil industry isn't like a lot of industries where you can just move workers around. If you are not drilling, there is literally no work for them to do.

Bud, you’re coming in here with sense and logic. I don’t think you understand why @Somewhatconcerned posted what they posted.


The fat orange man laughed. So he too, must laugh.

It is not contingent upon him to understand why the fat orange man laughs, no. Only to laugh along side him. Because so long as he laughs, they must be winning, right?
