Anyone Afraid Of Inflation?

[wilberforce15]

Oil sales go to whoever is willing to pay for it. Always has been. I’d suggest you look into who has sold from the SPR and who it goes to.

Crisis includes economic crisis.

Prices reached roughly where they were 13 years ago in another crisis. That does not what defines a new crisis.

Every president just wants to use it as their own little tool for votes. The problem is that you seem to advocate for that.

A reserve is for when that thing is not actually available.

A crisis he created

Yeah let's all go green.

Maybe that’s not the reason it’s being sold.

Midterm elections?

That’s what it’s there for.

i know fossil fuels are your baby, but you're wrong here

guarantee of supply and reduction of price, while similar in outcome, are WILDLY different goals

The history of sales from the SPR suggests you are wrong.

intended purpose and actual use, again, are WILDLY different things

It's way more PR than you think, even a major selloff of reserve gasoline is the equivalent of pissing in the pool. It signals (to outside groups) way more than it actually lets off itself.

Midterm elections?

Yep cheaper gas for a short time to get votes
Just like promising free college money he knew only Congress could approve.

Maybe they do. Fact remains that it tends to be good for the economy to control the oil market.

It is hard for the party out of power to rally even the hardest base members for higher energy prices even when “it’s being sold to China!” That’s how global commodities work. It’s put on the market and whoever pays for it gets it. Like capitalism. And the more of it on the retail market, the lower the prices go. Doesn’t matter if it’s here, Europe, South Africa or China. Capitalism doesn’t care.

Of course, there’s a sink full right now and she’s yelling at me!

Lol some of them are getting wise, taking all the napkin dispensers and only giving you some when you order or ask

At that price a dishwasher can pay for itself in no time.
