How many times are we going to "unleash American energy" before prices stop jumping 5, 8, 10% year over year?

Nepal just had a natural disaster wipe out entire villages, roads, and bridges.

The west coast of North America is about to be hit with a super El Nino.

The entire world is experiencing volatile weather conditions.

But, there's money to be made!

Make sure you've prepped your underground bunkers.

Thanks capitalism!!

Happy extinction!!!

You're complaining about corporations reporting record profits while Americans can't afford food?

How did we ever survive prior to this "rule" being rolled out 2 years ago?

The lefties so ridiculous. They think their executive actions must live forever whereas their opponents' actions executive actions should be unenforceable.

No worries Dingaling.

Trumpy's EOs will be also overturned in two years. The ones not yet ruled unconstitutional.

It is the Way.

BellRinger, I have a feeling you don't have many years of life left and have zero concern for your children and grandchildren's future.

Happy Extinction!

The side that was warning about climate change for decades is ridiculous?

And the side that called it a hoax are the sane alternative?

Climate change isn't a tax cut you can snip snap flip flop your strategy against.

The ridiculous ones are the morons who think we can treat our home like a trash can because cleaning it up would cut into the profits of oligarchs.
