Right, getting oil prices to come down on demand would mean nationalizing it.

Government can’t make a private company stay out of the global market. It would literally be telling them they aren’t allowed to make money like everyone else.

Companies are private and can compete in that market for more profit. To ask otherwise isn’t fair at all.

Not surprising that we have some SOCIALISTS on this site. Explains a lot when it comes to other issues regarding the interests of this country.
