Too bad US oil companies hate the US so much . How has their cost of oil production gone up drastically in the last month, it hasn't.

There is less supply in the world, it's not just US oil companies. We don't get a huge percentage of Russian oil because we are diversified it's the oli that Russia supplies to Europe that's taken out of the market raising the prices for all of us. 

 

Supply and demand. There's alit less supply right now

So why does the US export more oil and gas then we import ?

 

When did U.S. export more oil than import?
In 2020, the United States exported more petroleum than it imported – marking the first time that has happened, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's February 2021 Short-Term Energy

 

Outlook.

However, EIA expects the U.S. to return to being a net petroleum importer in 2021 and 2022 due to declines in domestic crude oil production and corresponding increases in crude oil imports.

I'll be happy to. 

 

Q is the same sort of issue as transgender bathrooms. A manufactured MSM saga designed to obfuscate the general public, divide and conquer so to speak. 

 

And to take focus away from the real issues going on behind the scenes.

 

As you yourself have cited, it's a very effective strategy, because while we are debating these hot button topics our elected officials and corporate overlords  are running out  the back door with all the money. 

Q was a real phenomenon. I mean, it was utterly fake and driven by some American incels turned sexpats in the Philippines who consorted with known midgets and ran edgelord image board, but it had real followers. It had enough real followers that Q caught a foothold in mainstream politics.  To write off Q as a red herring and overblown media sensation is wildly incorrect.

Sensationalized 

We debated transgender bathrooms as the Obama administration was doing the world peace nuclear accord in Iran too, remember that?

He's not saying the effects weren't real, he's saying the effects were, in part, driven by corporate media.

 

Similarly, when someone says "the hand-wringing over Ukraine is a manufactured MSM creation," they aren't saying that there aren't real people getting their panties in a wad over a country they wouldn't be able to differentiate from any other ex-Soviet state if you airdropped them in blind. They're saying that people only care because the media cares.

 

The question he's arguing from isn't "did it happen," but "why did it happen?" How much of the Q following was generated organically can be argued to death. In the era of the internet it's an open question, but 8kun doesn't quite have the web traffic that your average corporate media site does.

I recall.  How many thousands of people took to the streets due to transgender bathrooms?  How much trans bathroom merch was sold?  How many trans bathroom rallies took place? Did hashtag #TransBathrooms become the rallying cry of "patriots" across the nation?  

 

Sure, there was some media sensationalism with Q but we cannot accurately compare a movement like QAnon to a talking point du jour like trans bathrooms.

He isn't saying that at all.

 

And if he is, hes still wrong.  The true believers were not driven by the MSM.  Q is not a MSM creation.  Q was born in the deepest recesses of the internet.  Q wasn't confined to 8chan/8kun.  Twitter and YouTube were the biggest vehicle for Q spread.  Every social media site had Q Ambassadors like our own Deranged Rhino who helped all manner of impressionable people follow the bread crumbs from the ostensibly plausible to the downright insane.

This trash admin is going to gaslight all their sheep, with the help of our media, to fall for this all being “Putin’s price hike”… as if his garbage year in office hasn’t affected any of this.

Q is just as inconsequential as transgender bathrooms, a diversionary tactic that is the calling card of liberal progressive agenda.

There's a reason the QANON thread was deleted from the PPP hell hole. 

 

What a shame - though the 1,000 page #DeepState thread still exists.

Say it 5 more times and you'll still be just as embarrassingly wrong as the first time.  Repeating yourself over and over without offering anything resembling facts or arguments is not an effective form of debate/discussion.

It's obviously embarrassing for former members of the Q-cult. Forgive @tsol - the wound is still fresh.

Tell us you don't know how the economy works without telling us you don't know how the economy works.

Nope.  I did not follow the Q drops.  

 

You should just stop 5 posts ago and admit you know nothing about QAnon.  I will concede to your expertise in trans bathrooms.

Drastic plans like what?

Huuuuuuge investments into electric school buses! Also Pete N Joe N Kamaltoe would like you to do your part to lower costs by using more public transport, buying a scooter , electric car , windmill powered vehicle or maybe roller skates. This is a great opportunity to accelerate our transition! High gas prices are a high class problem and certainly not Joes fault. Just ask Peppermint Psaki, she’ll set ya straight.

Perhaps you could lend...you know...some actually non partisan economic analysis as to why gas prices are higher...

There is so much more in this universe than electric cars and solar/wind.

Solid oxide fuel cells that eliminate the energy grid which is the real vulnerability can be powered by nat gas, at a much less atmospheric impact than what we are now using, or hydrogen, which has no environmental impact.

The long term solution to energy is not substituting oil producer producer A for oil producer B.

 

It is in eliminating the centralized grid weakness, where energy is transmitted from a central source, (utility), across a vulnerable grid, (see California's problems).

On site production is the solution, and many have figured this out, Google, ATT, Home Depot, Verizon, WalMart, Staples etc.

It goes on and on.
