Jakyl25 posted... DoomTheGyarados posted... All theories aside nothing is legitimizing this sort of thing, men like Spencer are on more and more borrowed time. I disagree I think the Internet has allowed these people to regroup and start to organize and grow again. Sure they aren't "in power," but they're getting closer to getting back there. This is the major issue. It's people who are saying they should be allowed to speak their mind and not be punished for it who are empowering them to make these plays. It's not much different from the people who let Trump take over because "I mean it just can't happen in this day and age, right?" Which is why it's so surprising that Chris of all people, loather of that very modern Democratic party mindset, is falling into the same trap. It isn't so much a 'can't' as 'clearly is not.' It's looking evident by the time the summer hits full swing that the Republican party is going to pounce upon Trump's corpse. Yeah. About that.

For 500 Million. Problems Oil Prices have dropped. Particularly with this announcement. We fucking need that Oil. It is an emergency fuel supply. He apparently thinks the Strategic Oil Reserve is a magical renewing resource, since he says he'll raise 16 billion in a decade based on oil, and lists 10 billion theoretical. So apparently he thinks he can sell off half the reserve every year for the next 10 years. Some of the above mentioned 10 billion theoretical include "Fuck Alaska, fuck wildlife refuge". And fuck payments to various states to compensate for fucking with their environments. He wants to sell power lines. For 2.4 billion. Who the fuck is buying power lines, exactly, much less for that much. We actually did this before. Seriously, we did. We sold the Strategic Helium Supply in the 90s, basically just driving down the price of Party balloons. And we are now coming to the realization that that was fucking dumb, because we could've used all that shit to make medicine and superconductors. Given that there's no way in hell he came up on this on his own, this means that SOMEONE thinks that this is a good idea. And it sure as hell ain't republicans, because they love oil. And, because the world is going crazy and obvious things are apparently no longer obvious IT'S FUCKING DUMB Also included in his budget is Student Loan Forgiveness being thrown out the window.

He apparently thinks the Strategic Oil Reserve is a magical renewing resource, since he says he'll raise 16 billion in a decade based on oil, and lists 10 billion theoretical. So apparently he thinks he can sell off half the reserve every year for the next 10 years. Not to defend this move but $16.6 billion is based on about half the value of the oil reserve, so I think the plan is to sell off ~5% per year for a decade? Oil is a little over $50/barrel right now so $500 million = 10 million barrels, and the reserve is slightly under 700 million barrels. Honestly this feels like a move that would benefit Trump personally somehow because I don't see how it benefits the US at all.
