Won't hurt the US oil market, either...

Yeah but that is very little benefit to Americans. Our oil isn’t nationalized and we really don’t stand to benefit anything from it. Yes overnight we became the world’s largest oil exporter but we don’t have an infinite supply or a massive supply of it. Cost at the pump are probably going up even with this development.

Plus the larger issue is that it continues to kill good will internationally for America and ushers in a pro China mindset amongst our allies. This America First, more accurately America Only, stand has to stop if we want to continue to be a superpower.
 
Trump is, indeed, George Costanza:
- he's from Queens
- his father was a raging nitwit
- he goes out of his way to be seen with black people so folks won't think he's racist
- he claims to be an architect
- boasts about his performance on largely meaningless tests
- has affairs with the hired help and then gives them money to not go to the boss
- buy $600 cashmere sweaters for 85 bucks hoping nobody will notice the red dot on it
- makes fun of fat people
- has never actually read “breakfast at Tiffany’s”
- would rather a person die in a fire than give up his ATM password
- never served in the military

- is indeed a white supremacist (like Donald O’Brien)
- refers to himself in the 3rd person (“you must hate Trump!”
- has a fear of commitment
- started in real estate
- wears a hairpiece that looks like road kill
- wears a wedding ring to meet women
- has committed charity fraud along the lines of The Human Fund
- starred in a pilot for NBC

Putin being bled dry and embarassed by Ukraine...

We have pretty much shot off both of our feet...

Xi is laughing all the way to bank as his belt and road initiative racks up allies around the world and he takes over the renewable energy market and the EV market (which will be huge around the world whether the current admin likes it or not). At the same time they are making impressive investments in technology and catching up or surpassing us.
 
I think it’s going to get worse and it’s already over.

We peaked as a civilization in the 1990’s and we are now headed towards a Dystopian society.

It might be painstakingly slow or some event might accelerate it but it’s over.

Years ahead of us in modular nuclear energy, solar, wind power and EV's of all types. US AI companies waiting in line for electronics from China to build out their projects in the US. Years will be required for the US to catch up on rare earth mining and processing to meet our defense requirements. All the while this administration pushes coal fired plants and kills off-shore wind projects.

We have progressed too far too fast and keep trying to push further without even having a handle on what we are doing.

I can’t even begin to describe how much I HATE AI and how badly we are just abusing it for the most nonsense things.

It wastes so much energy and natural resources because people are too lazy to just spend a little more time with good old fashioned research.

Well it’s not even that because we use to go to Libraries and use the Dewey decimal system.

We have the most knowledge at our fingers tips than ever… you just type what you are looking for in a search bar and start reading.

But that’s still too much effort apparently.

That’s not even getting into using AI for stupid asinine image memes and AI videos.

It’s a digital plague and we are on pace to waste 25% of estimated US Households power needs in 2026 because of this stuff.

It’s estimated to consume 12% of ALL US power needs.

We messed up with ‘Smart’ phones and tablets and everyone to some point or another is addicted to screen time and especially kids and young adults.

But AI is even worse and we seem to be on a mission to just destroy the planet as fast as possible.

It won't hurt it in the sense that American companies will sell more oil on the world market. However, it will hurt the American consumer with higher prices because it is, after all, a world market. Our companies must buy the oil they refine from Canada and Mexico primarily, but also from other countries and that price will be higher and passed on to the American consumer...
