What's going to happen to the inflation rate when they're obviously going to print more money to fund all this.Same thing that has happened to every country that went down the inflation/debasement rabbit hole, you either engage in a forceful reset of the country's currency (typically by issuing a new one e.g. the Solidus in Rome or the Reichsmark in Germany) or you have a brutal economic crash followed by eventual recovery (e.g. the Great Depression) or both.
THE POOPOO THE PEEPEEAHHHHHHHHWHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE DOODOO COME FOR YOU?
It only just went below 300 million barrels.Congress doesn't even have to get involved until it gets close to 250 million barrels.That's several months away, at least.
>>540869866Two months isn't a lot of time considering it's another forever war in the middle east and China has yet to make their moves on Taiwan.
>>540867899what do Niggers call it when you trying to hit the crack pipe after all the crack is gone and you just burning it out?
>>540868181Buy from China
>>540869866You can't extract all 300 million barrels remaining some are for military and some are for emergency.Also, some are stuck in caverns. Just accept the defeat and move on to your milkshake, kfc and foxnews.
>>540872192>some are for military and some are for emergency.The war with Iran is a military emergency though.>stuck in cavernsIt's called a reserve, and it's not stuck.>Just accept the defeatDoesn't matter what I accept. Trump doesn't accept it and he's the guy in charge of our military. He and Congress obey Israel.
>>540868375I dunno, but more brown people is for certain.
The reserve wont run out for another 2 months
>>540868375Shut down the 800 overseas military bases and cut hundreds of billions out of the budget or we doom the country
>>540868708>no argumenti accept your concession with grace
>>540867899Lol hey you Canuck retard, I don't know why you'd be cheering on the downfall of America when your country literally depends on us for survival. Also, we'll be fine. Canada seems doomed though. I hope we annex you. That would be hilarious.
>>540867899thanks Biden!
Wait until after the midterms when there is no desire to even pretend to keep oil prices under control by using from the spr
>>540868407MIGGER MELTY>>540868487MIGGER MELTY>>540868569Salt caverns actually >>540873116MIGGER MELTY
>>540873617>(You)
>>540868487Fuck off migger, I've been warning about this for months. If anything the treason has been the media looking th other way and just mindlessly repeating the administration's BS about the SPR until now.>>540868569We store it in literal salt mines, because the salt is veery strong, not porous, and doesn't interact with oil. But when the oil levels fall too low the pumping pressure drops, so we have to pump in water underneath it to maintain the pressure. This causes two problems. One, the oil and water mix a bit and the oil we pump out is kinda subpar and sludgy. refiners don't like it and try to avoid buying it, so we have to keep tempting them with sweetheart deals like wee give them oil up front for zero cash, in exchange for a promise for them to buy replacement oil and put it back into the SPR 'later', whenever that is. Yes I'm serious, we're just giving it away in exchange for IOUs because nobody wants to put down cash money for the shitty quality that comes out of the SPR. Problem two is that as we pump more water into the salt chambers that store the oil, the salt *does* react with the water and dissolves into it, which causes the storage chamber to change shape from a cylinder to something more like a cone. This makes it harder and harder to maintain pressure and eventually the chamber can lose its structural integrity and collapse. We are not ther but we are starting to explore the limits.A third thing that few people know is that thher isn't a simple total of 295 million barrels. It's split between ~120m barreels of sweet (low sulphur crude oil that hardly changes, and ~175m barrels of sour (high sulphur) crude, which is what all the refineries are set up for. We keep drawing down the sour crude. Theoretically the refineries could switch over to processing sweet crude, but that takes months and costs a fortune and is basically an emergency measure in case sour stocks collapse.
>>540873775It's not a big deal anyway because the USA uses about 20 million barrels per day total and the SPR has been drawing down less than 1 million per day this whole time, which means worst case we lose that 1 million per day and have to get it from somewhere else, or reduce consumption by 5%.
>>540870444>estimatedthese things are always way off as many countries don't report their inventories due to security and economic interests.
>>540869866>>540873775The real SPR is the 175m barrels of sour crude, and we are pulling that down by about 20m barrels a month. This is the busiest time of the year for diesel demand due to agricultural harvests and pre-holiday freight shipping. Diesel, not gas prices are the real driver of inflation because nearly all freight is moved with diesel whether it's ships, trains, or trucks. When the sour crude levels fall below 130m barrels quality drops further and pressure problems become a headache, if they fall to 80 the output becomes unusable due to contamination.The SPR facilities (mostly in Luoisiana and Texas) are already suffering maintenance problems for years of under-investment and budget procrastination, any one of the 4 facilities whree the oil is stores is vulnerable to being shut down by a severe storm. Guess which planet is having a record El Nino weather system this year!>>540873937>worst case we lose that 1 million per day and have to get it from somewhere else, or reduce consumption by 5%.Diesel is $5-6 now when it would be $3-4 if it wasn't for the Iran war. If the SPR starts to fail it will hit $8 and there will be traffic jams made up completely of trucks due to rationing. The US can absorb a supply shock but it will still be a shock, to say nothing of the impact on the markets.
>>540868375You retards never ask this about Republicans starting multi trillion dollar Jewish Wars or blowing up the economy by deregulating financial securities and other retarded adventures down conservative governance lane. You never ask how tax breaks for pederast billionaires might affect the deficit either. Boohoo, bitch. Sorry you were born stupid enough to get mad about even a whiff of money maybe going back to US citizens instead of kikes in some far flung future. The only way you'll ever break out of your programming is by shooting yourself in the head. We both know it's true.
>>540867899Trump's Neocon masters are about to get decapitated.
>>540874082>The US can absorb a supply shock but it will still be a shock, to say nothing of the impact on the markets.I think we're already experiencing a decline in economic activity. Feels like it around here anyway, in a medium sized city. It's not a catastrophe yet. As things get more expensive, people cut back because they only have so much money to spend, and when they cut back the demand for energy also goes down (or doesn't go up as much).
>>540867899Trump knew he was going to start this war and could have held of off yet he didn't think to fill the strategic reserves first
>>540873775very interesting post anon
>>540875748>Trump knew he was going to start this warHe knew he was going to obey Bibi, I don't think he knew specifically what that would involve.
>>540876667During his firsr inauguration he went into a room for a meeting and came out visibly shaken, staring into the distance.I believe that's when they explained that they owned him.
>>540868375thats what the playbook is. trump is just the kike puppet everyone is supposed to hate when he follows the script fucking everything up so people beg for the communists who will then roll out the control grid getting people hooked on digital id through the guise of the socialist gibbs>costs are out of control these days goys, vote for us commies and we will give you lots of gibbs>here goy just sign up on this kiked google app and put in your biometric data and you will get your shekels depostited on the new rothschild bank blockchain!
>>540876786He should have just said he screwed a 17yo in the early 2000s but Bibi bombs little kids every day

>>540873617CHICKEN JERKY!
>>540868569Yes, and water is used to pump it up. The problem is that these caverns are full of salt to store the oil, and when you mix water with salt, bad things happen, because the caverns can collapse and then you lose everything
>>540867899>our oil reserves are literally just dudes putting oil back in the groundThis is probably what “natural” reserves are too. I bet they just make oil out of foreskins or something.
2 more weeks, faggots
>>540868375All the rich people will fly away and hopefully never come back again
>>540868375We in the West have outsmarted ourselves this time. We cannot print our way out. We do not spend money into existence, we lend it into existence. We need a buyer for that debt and the inrerest rate buyers will bear is creeping up already. We can cram it down a few throats at a time, but the dyke is going to burst unless we kick out the Rothschild banking model, politically unlikely.It looks like a humdinger from here either way.
