OPEC completely distorts the market and makes it harder for companies in free markets to operate. They cannot just ramp up oil production to help bring supply up to demand, because OPEC can decide to increase production themselves. As a result it would drive the free market oil companies into...

Things tend to happen together. If there's a surprise somewhere it's usually an indication of a wave. If the Dems won NC it's likely they also won the 6 tossup states. Vice-versa if the GOP wins NH. An upset in either of those 2 states would be a better indicator of which party will control the...

The reason the oil markets don't work as they should is OPEC. That doesn't mean that the oil market would never have imbalances from where they want to be, but it would be similar to other commodities where there isn't a cartel controlling 70% of the supply. If you want to put price controls on...

Trump has publicly endorsed him. He has bragged about being Brazil's Trump. He has been planning to question the election's integrity for a long time: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/27/jair-bolsonaro-brazil-election-fraud-claim I could be wrong, but at this point, I think it's a lot...

Well, he hasn't conceded yet. We shall see if he ever does...

https://news.yahoo.com/bolsonaro-refuses-concede-brazilian-presidential-155725256.html Sound familiar? This guy ran as Brazil's Trump. Personally, I'm glad he's gone, because Brazil has some of the most important land on the planet. The Amazon needs to be preserved.

Them goddamn black peoples!

Politicians are motivated by big money interests and the extremes who are becoming more and more at odds. I think we’ve actually seen the extremes having a more influential impact than the big money interests lately. We see this with politicians such as AOC and MTG who can rack up small dollar...

After 5 decades in Washington politics he’s gotta know this. However, we got an election coming up, inflation is the top issue on the minds of voters, and he needs to find somebody to blame. Is he going to go after the main culprit of long-term inflation (the Fed by printing way too much money)...

Do you remember when oil went negative, because there was so much on the market that they couldn’t find anybody to store it? Demand plummeted in 2020 when businesses shutdown and nobody was going anywhere. The price is set by the financial markets. The break even price to get oil was like...

As shown in the pandemic the main driver of oil prices is OPEC production levels. The price is driven by supply and demand. So the solution is to tax the suppliers? This is just stupid economics and why every Democrat should vote for me in the 2024 primaries.

https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2022-10-31/ap-source-biden-to-float-windfall-tax-on-energy-producers I know this is just noise to blame others for inflation and would never pass, but it’s still an idiotic idea. The market dropped on the news and has since rebounded after realizing...

It was just an example of something women can physically do better than men. Yes, their center of gravity is different which allows them to do shit like this.

They just need to incorporate this into all their sports.

Men would destroy them. They're taller, can jump higher, hit harder, etc. There's a sound argument to be made that women are better at a lot of subjective sports with judges such as gymnastics and figure skating, because of their flexibility. I believe the elite women are able to make moves in...

Maybe women just need to come up with their own sports that they'd be better at. Then people wouldn't say we need segregate our sports by gender. Afterall, modern sports were mostly created by men and showcase strength/quickness/endurance. On average and at the elite levels, men are faster and...

Some suspect there might be an underrepresented female Gen Z/Millennial push over Roe v. Wade. I know Michael Moore floated this theory and he thought Trump would win the Rust Belt in 2016 so I wouldn't quickly dismiss him as a biased liberal blowhard. Gen Z/Millennials are very difficult to...

I don't get why all the people who want to see black people re-enslaved and beaten to death for sleeping with us fine white people are called racists these days. If any word should be banned from our discourse it's obviously the "R-word". It's simply gone too far!!!

I bought $10k worth recently. So are the rates for this bond expected to drop to 6.5%? Where did you get that info if true?

I think this seat will give the Republicans the edge now. They already would have it if either AZ wasn't awful or GA wasn't a complete distaster. NH is very winnable as well, but he's just as bad as the AZ candidate in a bluer state. I think CO is hard, because the GOP is damned if they support...
