In this case, even in the year leading up to the election, they told us what they were going to do. A large number of Americans didn’t pay the least bit of attention, but other people did.
People who had to bet their investments on whether the price of oil was going to go up or down, and how much or how difficult the oil exploration environment was going to be DID pay attention.
Everyone with half a brain saw that it was going to be more difficult and expensive to search for oil, drill for oil, transport oil, and refine oil.

And so on.
