The reader who sent me this asks, “Why don’t pictures like this ever trend?”
It’s because everyone who has even a basic understanding of the world oil market knows that this is pure stupidity, aimed at the most uneducated Americans who constitute the core of Trump’s base.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that idiocy like this can’t “trend.” We did re-elect Trump, didn’t we?
Someone asked me recently to explain why Big Oil isn’t thrilled that Trump has opened up our pristine wildernesses to the extraction of crude. The answer, of course, is that oil executives making 8-figure incomes actually understand how to make money, which, sadly, is their only purpose in life. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars in new infrastructure, while driving up supply and thus lowering prices at the pump, isn’t a strong idea.
