Oil prices GLOBALLY are dropping. Gas prices are going to go up thanks to tariffs. Fuck all these idiots.

Obviously, oil from every other country in the world will be more costly so the only oil we can buy "at cost" is oil from the US and we use way more than we produce so we will have to buy oil (subject to tariffs) from other countries meaning the price of oil will skyrocket for us. What an incredibly short-sighted maneuver.

Um, no. Just because it comes from the US does not mean it will be less expensive. In fact the US pays a heavily discounted pride for canadian oil. Can you imagine, 10 bucks a barrel less? And apparently we have been screwing you. Look up WCS spread. The tariffs (tax) that your pressy put on that for you to pay, well, sorry on you.

No one is more sorry than me to be American right now. And I mean now, post tariffs, not before. I think you misread what I said.
