During our morning meeting over skype, politics came up, as it usually does (everyone is on the same 'side' except for me, but they don't know it because I keep my mouth shut)
These dumbasses were CELEBRATING student loan forgiveness, and CELEBRATING 87000 new IRS agents.
First of all, only 1 person on the call had any student loans. She was ecstatic that a chunk was getting "forgiven". The other guys were so happy for her - I was biting my tongue so fucking hard, because I've yet to go off on these people for their moronic positions. Come close several times. These dumbasses don't realize that THEY are paying for her loans (and me). These dumbasses couldn't even come close to figuring out that you don't need 87000 IRS field agents to target the rich. The IRS agents are targeting US, to pay increased taxes on top of already increased taxes to pay for our neighbors student loans (also, her loans have NOTHING to do with the profession she is in - shes a debt slave, and will be for decades, for indoctrinating her self and getting a garbage education that she doesn't even use that I now have to pay for.)
This is the same group of people where one of them bought themselves a new home, and the home's water came from a well - he was complaining that the well had no flouride, and planned to add his own flouride to the water, specifically for his kids health. The fluoride comments and the comments today they made celebrating all these garbage policies that are DESTROYING our way of life. I'm SICK of this shit, when does it end? These are people I consider smart, and yet they can't see the government placing shackles on their feet right in front of them. HOW did people get so trusting? These people are so trusting that their first instinct when they hear about 87000 new field agents is, "Finally, they are going after the rich for real!". Are you fucking kidding me??? You don't need 87000 agents to target the rich, they are collecting taxes for loan 'forgiveness' FFS
I don't see it as dooming unless you think there's no hope. Which you clearly don't.
What do you mean by " temporarily brought gas prices down." How did they do that? What I've heard is the demand went down.
My understanding is they released a metric-shit ton of national oil reserves. I anticipate prices will climb back up by the end of the year or maybe the beginning of next year.
I thought we had enough oil but not enough refineries to process the demand. This is normie news that I've heard from my frens.
Oh, from what I understand the US has enough oil to be energy independent. Put another way, we could be a net exporter (President Trump showed this) versus being a net importer.
The reason we are no longer energy independent is because Biden shut down all the pipelines and drilling like the first week he was in office.
