I tell you the biggest problem. You/we have an 80 year old docile man in charge.
no, thats not the issue. the issue is that americans are ignorant. so they believe every lie and squirrel that their politicians and pundits tell them

case and point, oil prices...

america is already a net exporter of oil. prices are determined on the open market

would be hilarious to ask these people: so do you want the american government to take over the oil companies and set its own price?

because thats what they think can happen somehow. and even i dont want that. yet they think im the socialist

Also it’s a pet peeve of mine when I see people carrying or pushing bikes that are in good working order. Perhaps that one isn’t but seeing two men carry a bike makes my skin crawl. It’s has wheels for a reason stupid!!
i resisted to chyming in that "it takes two people to carry the bike!!?!"

whoops, it has wheels lol

I had pretty good seats on the Tulsi Bus but she just won't stop talking. Now I'm just standing on the curb waiting for them to open the luggage compartment so that I can leave.

"America is already a net exporter of oil. prices are determined on the open market"

50% Correct.

Price, especially WTI Oil contracts (due to its thin liquidity) are controlled long term by open market forces.

However... in the short term they are largely controlled by predatory fund managers and
assholes like me. Give me a team of 3 traders and I'll spoof, iceberg, dangle & smoke (actual technical term)
and bat that shit up and down so easily you'd think we were playing ping pong with the price.

Relax though. Once we have accumulated or distributed a large traunch allocated position we
will stop manipulating the price and allow market forces to take over again.

... at least until the next time we decide to bat that shit around again for our gain.

If you say he is eh bud. You really are an idiot.

Eh Bud is brilliant. That one dude doesn't/didn't have the brains to be eh bud.

I love eh bud. He's great. I would go so far to say that this is a golden period of tmmac. Certainly in my time here. Zero cunt offs. Some fantastic posters. I learn more here than I do at work ffs.
It's warmed the cockles of my heart to see you open yourself up to our love over the past few months.

Lol at that whole bit going right over your head and you trying to say it’s racist.

Hence "I don't know what to make of this Zelensky guy."

A Nazi skit by a President is weird as fuck to me.

The other shit only compounds me not knowing what to think about this guy.

Hence "Sus"
