The US will make a LOT of money from selling their oil at premium. https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2032091651422720197 https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2032091651422720197 *Edit: Now I understand that some companies may make more money, but the economy overall may suffer. *Seems like I hit a nerve with stereotypical people groups.

Unsure if this is sarcasm or not. Plus gas is largely immune to sales tax and we don't really tax corporations so this will largely lead to no revenue for the US and instead just record profits for Exxon.

  It's delusion.

That is hilarious cope. The US benefits far far relatively more when the global economy is running smoothly than when able to sell oil higher, like some shithole petrostate. Appropriate I suppose.

    I understand you clearly hate Trump, but I'll take his statements over yours any day.

Well and Russia. Trump essentially crippled the impact of 4 years of sanctions against Russia with these new oil prices he created.

More specifically a few oil companies and their shareholders. Everyone else suffers. Ie privatizing profits and socializing costs.

Is this how it really works? With demand outstripping supply, prices rise across the globe. Prices at gas stations go up as well. The only ones earning a „LOT“ of money are Big Oil shareholders?

Either it's purely for monetary gain and it's dumb. Or it's for "Da NuKeS ThEy AbOuT To GeT" it's even dumb because they killed the only dude who was against Iran getting nukes. [0] Or he got tricked by bibi &co into yet another middle east war I don't have words to describe how dumb it is. [0] Iranian intelligence minister Esmaeil Khatib said that the country may nevertheless change their stance if "pushed in that direction" like a "cornered cat". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei%27s_fatwa_against_nuclear_weapons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei%27s_fatwa_against...

  Oh wait what's that? It's "Da Nukes ThEy AbOut To GeT"! Iran now admitted it had 60% enriched uranium, which is weeks from 90% for nukes. For energy, only 3-5% enrichment is needed. Anything >20% is weapons-usable. https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-enrichment-c0079c38746a896e2967a9a9cc2799d5 https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-enrichment-c0079c387...
