I think we kind of live in a pilot bubble. Things are good if you have equity, which the majority of Americans don’t. I think you’re being cavalier about the plight of people who live pay check to pay check. They were promised lower prices (prices will never get lower, they’ll just hopefully keep going up at a slower rate).
People are stretched. The increase in gas price and the subsequent inflation it’s going to cause for every other consumer good is going to put even more people over the edge. This is going to be a serious problem for the foreseeable future for many.

And yet, the cult members are still loyal instead of calling it out. “No new wars, America First, isolationism.” Since that campaign promise was broken, the voters don’t seem to care. Instead those voters are making every excuse in the book. So, they deserve the economy they have coming. Right?

I agree. We need more dead terrorists. Time to crack open the can on GPs and fin kits.

I think he got “.gov/alphabet swamp” to “relax” red tape in oil leases and drilling where they could for US domestic production.
I think he’s discouraging EV’s and “clean” energy to keep confidence up on “dirty” energy so they don’t feel the market will abandon their cap ex projects.
I think he sacked Venezuela “head of state” “illegally” to get the new person to play ball and get their oil off the sanction status
I think he tried to make a “peaceful” deal after midnight hammer to get Iran oil off sanction status. I think the goal is for them to crumple and if not then at least agree to reforms to get their oil flowing off sanction and get China paying full price. I think Israel’s is resistance to Iran having an economy with the world is a large obstacle, and a 10 year pause on enrichment is not a long enough pause for them and 1/2 the US.
I think UAE is leaving opec because they don’t want to take production cuts on the other side of this and can see their market share is where the expectation is to cut production to make more room for the increased US, Iran, and Venezuela production in the next 3-5 years.
