You’re a forkin’ liar Jo Jo. With all the money being spent to buy the U.S. Government at November’s auction, I find it ironic that this year the biggest and most important bid is the RATs’ 18 barrels of fossil fuel.
I am hard pressed to think of any legitimate reason to bother releasing 15M barrels, even political reasons. That’s barely enough oil to last the US about 18 hours, and the entire world just 4 hours. Makes no sense.
Oil was up $3 today, fwiw.

Classic Fascism the way Benito Biden spoke to the oil companies today.
Pedo Pete's 15 m. bbl release is about 18 hours worth. So every two or three months he sells off 18 hours worth of oil. Won't affect the pump price of gas a penny for even one day.
