If you'll recall, it was $ 5/gal diesel that was a large part of crashing the economy in 2008. Why do you think it was so important for the US to be energy independent? Low and stable energy prices are necessary for an economy to flourish. Edit: As I recall, one of our members works for an aluminum company that operates smelters. Plants had to be closed when the price of natural gas skyrocketed. People lost their jobs. Tax revenue evaporated. High energy prices have real world, negative consequences to lots of Americans. |

He was elected today because the media says so? The Electoral College doesn't have any part in it now? When did that happen?

Chinese crap will flood our stores at even higher prices as punishment Gas prices will skyrocket Small businesses will vaporize or will be absorbed my larger corporations and give the illusion of being "mom and pop" Hardcore lockdowns are coming for 18 more months Hand guns will be a prime target There will be a for sale sign on the front yard of America within 2 years and China will be our new owner. Unless the Saudis are willing to keep us off the market as their number one consumer of oil very soon. |

I'll be fine. Probably make more money on our portfolio.
I feel truly sorry for steel workers, miners, energy workers, factory workers, tradesmen, etc. Blue collar working stiffs in industries where either illegal immigrant labor or offshoring is a threat to their jobs, wages, etc. got a 4 year respite from being ground into dust. Looks like it's over. Ditto for the brief improvement in the Opiod epidemic, which is tied to that. Suppressed wages, closed factories, drug abuse, suicide, crushing poverty, etc. are back on the menu. Manufacturing jobs declined every single year of Obama-Biden, even 2016. 2017 was the 1st year in decades that tradesmen in the building industry saw rising wages and job mobility (go read mid 2017 industry reports and scroll down to headwinds). I voted Trump because I was voting for those people. They're going right back to getting ****ed. |

My only liberal friend is deeply involved in the Keystone pipeline. This will be entertaining.

Attention all DEMOCRATS.
Your rioting, looting, and burning, will now be in celebration as opposed to protest. Pass it around. |
