Whats going on in the World

[movetheboat]

would have been some logic to it if we hadn't become, once again, dependent on foreign oil

nope

What country exports the most oil 2022?


Saudi Arabia is the top country by exports of crude oil in the world. As of June 2022, exports of crude oil in Saudi Arabia was 7,196 thousand barrels per day. The top 5 countries also includes Iraq, Canada, the United States of America, and Norway. The description is composed by our digital data assistant.

ironically though we export we also import...but far from "dependent" on anyone....but we are tied into the global market

So why import ? And why draw down the strategic national reserve with China and Russia more of a threat than anytime since the mid 80s? Political move domestically?

Yeah, its a well know fact not a single native born american citizen has ever committed a crime

Apparently, not enough of them do. Seems some people want to import more to "do the jobs American's don't want to do."

The country has always relied on a fresh influx of workers to fill low level jobs that established residents won't do. Not to say they can be illegal but go thru the process one of which is asylum.

something to do with importing higher quality oil we need and exporting our standard crude

Well, that was a better response than I was expecting. Although not from the person I was expecting.

I'm kidding. I wasn't expecting a response from the O.P.

Just to be sure, you did see that I was talking about not enough people commiting crimes, right?

But you are correct about the history of cheap labor in this country. Whether we import the labor or export the job we've always been willing to sabotage ourselves in the long term for a cheap product today.

While Ukraine’s military has been successfully chasing Russian troops out of one territory after another, Vladimir Putin’s foot soldiers have apparently been turning their weapons on each other as the Russian leader’s “special military operation” continues to come apart at the seams in spectacular fashion.

C’mon now. Remember all the cheap shit Russian crap you could buy in Hunters Warehouse? That’s still what they use. They were depending on Google for directions in the spring, FM radios you can buy at Dicks.
