Amen on all of that. The way I see it, Biden and company are part of the G 7 then it was G 10 then it was G 20. So I think they wanted oil higher for various reasons. Give foreign countries a chance to make money selling it. Its welfare, the whole western group.

This shit started with the gun control act of 1968, then creating the EPA in 1970, and removal of the gold standard in 1971. and DOWN we went. 50 years. I strongly suspect the global group is trying to make the USA better out of necessity. And at same time try not to hurt the others too much. But its going too slow.
I’d like to know how the UK got away with their Brexit coup. Coup means “an impressive victory or achievement that usually is difficult or unexpected”. They were the original leader of the world, the banking and bullion center of the world. So the “boss” gets away with it, but nobody else? Trump was Brexit II.
