Oil prices are dropping rapidly.

How ironic, that Trump’s moronic tariffs may end up crashing the Russian economy and thereby ending the Ukraine war by accident.

@randahl

And of course the reduction in demand for fossil fuels may have a positive effect on #climatechange !

@randahl That was his plan all along? Nobel peace prize is his if he pulls it off!
@randahl it is all part of his super stable genius plan. At least he said so. Kinda.
@randahl
Russian stock over the last week 👇🏼
@ericschutte @randahl Haaa his FSB handler be all, "Not like that Krasnov!"

@ericschutte
How do the other stocks lol

@randahl

@ericschutte @EndlessMason @randahl There's a green one, towards the bottom right. Must try harder Mr. Trump.
@spanghero @EndlessMason @randahl
Yes, that one caught my attention over the last days. It’s from United Health Group Inc. I do not have any knowledge about the stock market. Maybe there is somebody who can explain this?

@randahl that was my first thought when I heard about the oil prices drop. Isn’t it a long awaited “black swan” everybody was talking about? Fingers crossed.
@randahl Oil price is now down to where it was in December 2020.
If we exclude the Covid Break of 2020 from the data, it's even back to December 2018. And it doesn't take much more of a drop to get to a price seen in 2016.
@randahl He is also ironically doing something good for the climate by tanking the economy.
Crude oil prices drop 6% as OPEC output rises and Trump's tariffs hit

Crude oil prices plummeted to near multi-year lows following President Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement, with a larger-than-expected production increase by OPEC and its allies adding further pressure to the sell-off.

@xgebi @randahl it’s also because we’re coming out of the coldest part of the year and renewable generation is increasing exponentially.

@randahl

Bradley, Coors, Koch, Scaife, Seid, and Uihlein — the six dynasties that paid for Project 2025.

They want tariffs because it'll shift taxation away from themselves and onto others.

Why buy oil futures for an economy that isn't going to need it, as it slides into global recession?

A recession will give the 6 families less money to dismantle the EU & attack civil rights.

6 Billionaire Fortunes Bankrolling Project 2025

More than $120 million from a few ultra-wealthy families who have spent years working to promote climate change denial has powered the Heritage Foundation and other groups that created the plan to remake American government.

@randahl interesting that this is now below the $60 price cap embargo imposed by the G7 countries! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embargo_of_Russian_oil_during_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

20/21.02.2020 - Oil sub Zero.
Fuck, baby fuck!
@randahl he'll say it was on purpose 😂

@randahl

Some of his voters really wanted gas prices to be lower.

Though they still can't afford it even though the numbers have gone down because their social security checks are all lost to the rampaging musk just turning off servers to see what happens.

@randahl All we need now is another outbreak of COVID, bird flu or some other disease. Five yrs ago oil prices went below the floor.
@randahl ----I know you might not like president Trump or the Tariffs that he is putting on ALOT of other countries But there is ALOT of GOOD reasons that our president is doing it---one for example Canada & Mexico who have not been doing AS much as they possibly could when it comes to stopping al the DRUG'S that has been coming across the Border DESTROYING our country AMERICA and Mr.Trump is saying that it needs to STOP because it HAS been going on for a long time--- oppenyoureeyes

@oppenyoureeyes @randahl a

Eww. Gross. Go back to Truth Social.

@randahl--so you want me to go back to the social network because I'am telling the Truth--you see you have to realize that we are now at a better place right with this president and the reason I say that is because now we have a president in the White House that will not allow the same ol as usual go on like it Don't matter that Canada is not doing there part when it comes to slowing the flow of drugs coming across the Border --the facts speaks for themselves--read these two short articles.
@randahl That would be lovely but I suspect usa taxpayers money would be sent to support Putin

@randahl

We need a silver lining or two. This would be a thousand!

@randahl

#putin is a strategic genius!

NOT!!

@randahl Who Is buying Russian oil? China and India?

@umbeebmu @randahl

EU and India

@krystyna @randahl what happened with the embargo against Russia? EU was not supposed to buy anything from Russia since when they invaded Ukraine?
@randahl i suppose this is also bad News for #fracking or i’m a wrong? If so, that’s the good News. #oil #usa

@randahl

Tariffs had/ have nothing to do with world oil price.

@randahl
Only way he'll ever do the right thing is by accident
