>>544295928stupid question, but why are these numbers even reported to the public? And where can I check them? >inb4 digits
>>544295928how could biden do this to us
>>544296114Tbf, Biden drained like 400M barrels. We would still be comfy if he hadn't fucked up the reserves. But yes the Epstein war was an arguably even more colossal fuckup>>544296056I think it's because congress has to approve draining it below ~250M. Obviously Trump has kept his last little bit of dry powder for the week or two leading up to midterms. If he says "war is over" and gas falls miraculously below $3 for a week the goys may eat it up.
>>544295928had to be drained and refilled at some pointprobably with some ai bullshit added in somewhere so someone can make money on the side
>>544296287>had to be drained...what?
>>544296419yeah you gotta drain and check the reservoirs and shit every so oftenI'm just inventing cope
I remembered there was a video with santa sledding down the bitcoin crash, would be fun to see a new version with this graph
>>544296514>I'm just inventing copeBased. Yes, totally, the resevoirs can't be checked one at a time. It's like when I go through my SHTF food stash. When the first can expires, I dump everything out and start again.
>>544296245>We would still be comfy if he hadn't fucked up the reservesTrump literally said he would refill the reserves in his campaign and he started a war with Iran before he did. And you know why Biden released them? Because opec was fucking the market on purpose, you guess who wanted that.
>>544296696>Because opec was fucking the market on purpose, you guess who wanted that.I have no idea what opec is. I am a humble retard and would appreciate a good danish education
>>544296783it's the sand nigger collusion group that controls (rigs) oil prices from that region or something close
>>544296783Meh we are all retards. But i do find the lack of preparation before engaging with Iran to be a moment of pivotal stupidity. Energy markest are also extremely difficult to understand. I certinaly dont. I just regard OPEC as the enemy.
>>544296287>>544296514it's actually the opposite. draining below a certain point will ruin the reservoir
>>544297219>>544297317I still don't know what OPEC is. But to be clear the purpose of this thread was not to downplay the stupidity of sacrificing Columbia on the altar of King Hiram's temple. Rather the opposite.
>>544297405how will this help trump win the midterms so I can get my 5k stimmy
>>544297502OPEC is a failed trade cartel.They set quotas, production limits, for each member country, to make sure the price stays high, instead of, say, one member increasing their output x10 and crashing the oil price.They were rarely able to 100% agree on anything, and quotas were frequently violated, meaning that today, where the share of OPEC oil has dropped, they don't matter much anymore.>>544297317Usually it's just a futures thing, speculation on future energy prices; which is largely trend based, but there's also the matter of factoring in extraordinary events, like wars or straits/canals being blocked.>then after a while countries start running out of certain fuelsThat's when SHTF.
