dropping oils prices don’t hurt you ... but they are a decent leading indicator of a future economic slowdown ... which could cause layoffs ...

I am for a floating tariff on oil imports to keep the domestic price fixed at $50/bbl. Do it!!!!!

My first guess is that the price drops are primarily related to China shutting down their factories, and no longer needing as much oil for a while. Other countries are probably contributing towards that.
