    1. Oil prices still relatively stable on 100 usd because USA is managing to balance the demand and ofcourse because many countries still substitute the shortages from their reserves. Like China or Japan to name two of the main players in Asia. It is way worse in other Asian countries, but still managable… For now. If it wasnt for the USA, the market would be way more “bullish” and prices would shoot up past 150 already. If this continues for more than a month better get ready for a global recesion in 2027. We will earn less, pay more for rent and food and the only question is by how much.

      I hope so. I wanna see 6 bucks a gallon sustained.

      Folks would drive less, transition to more efficient vehicles, buy more EVs and pollute less.

      Power companies would install more renewables.
      And things like electric semis may begin to be used by some companies if their use enables them to bid much lower to ship stuff.

      Then folks will fuck up the earth less.

      Also people will get fed up, be angry and vote against the US becoming a fascist shithole. The orange assholes stupidity can wreck his plan of dismantling our democracy and he can be voted out due to folks being pissed they can’t afford shit.

    3. Oil soon will out pace eggs and memory but we don’t care because we

      Buy
      Buy
      Buy

    4. And the most obvious yet pretending to be shocking yet also demoralizing headline goes to…

      By then we’ll be used to $4+ gas so it will never go back down.

      Not if a truth social post along with a pump and dump scheme have anything to say about it!

    7. go ahead, it will be the best sustained PR for electric cars and against the incompetent and out of touch GOP leadership we have seen in years!

    8. But that’s down from $150, and $50 is half of $100, so some would say Trump slashed the price of oil by 50%!!!!

      I wonder if Americans will get more upset or they’ll just normalize to this abuse as well.

      Yes, Donald Trump and his band of merry idiots did this… all to distract from the Epstein files.

      Everyday the straight remains closed global energy prices will go up from here forward. $400 crude is my target(just cause I think it’s possible if the world runs too low)

      Good. Voters meed to remember the pain Trump is causing when they go to the polls

    14. America voted for this … and America has a chance to start fixing it at the end of the year but sadly they won’t

      we are off the cliff already, just waiting to see how deep the ravine is..

      fertilizer hit is coming soon..

    16. Nope – it will be a sine wave, as trump will pump and dump all the way to the bank for his friends and family.

    17. In the most backwards move ever, Trump might just be better for global warming then previously led to believe as we all start walking, riding bikes, and taking public transport just to not become homeless.

      The longer oil remains high like this, the more and more people will turn against Trump and the Republican Party.

      If the war ends shortly and oil quickly goes back down, that gives Trump a way to say “look at me and how quickly I made oil come back down in price” and people will go back to the status quo because people have a memory span of about 2 months.
