I’m drunk. However, this really pisses me off. America is addicted to oil, and our president is a huge drug dealer, and he spouts off at the mouth about how horrible this is as him and his drug dealer friends make profits in which the world has never seen.
Darkstar you need to just realize that he is fucking us all and we can’t do shit about it… Sad but true. Everything we do revolves around the shit, plastic is made from oil, wire coatings, i dont know have the shit but it is a massive business. you know whats funny… Cut your grass and save the clippings and put them in a garbage can let them sit for a couple days and presto, you got oil… don’t believe me try it. Brazil will be oil independent by next year… They started it in the 70s took them akmost 40 years to perfect we are behind the times.
Brazil uses mostly Ethanol (even their gasoline has 25% Ethanol in it) that is produced from sugar cane (similar to how we make Ethanol from corn) Ethanol is about $.50 cheaper to produce then gasoline (ex: $1.00 for Ethonal compared to $1.50 for gas)
Well when your a country that is slightly more than twice the size of California and have enough oil to sell to help support the worlds oil demands its only common sense that the people there arent going to spend alot of money on gas. I mean look at any other country where petroleum is the #1 export and see what locals pay for gas.
… india consumption is pushing prices, iran is limiting supply, and china is manipulating their currency so you really can’t compare US prices to Chinese ones.
as for the war. My good friend just got back from Iraq and Served a tour in Afgan. he was on the front lines and did 5 major offesives in Iraq to take 5 cities. he said “we need to be there, period. We always have.”
as for oil prices we should look to the companies who are paying their CEO’s 52 million a year not our president. Like him or not he is not some mastermind driving up oil prices for personal gain
