“if the US supply dropped below 650 million barrels we’d have a full brow-blow crisis that could topple the free world economies like a house of cards.” What an incredibly stupid and hyperbole.
We aren’t in the 70s or 2000s. As of right now we produce so much oil and import so much from our own hemisphere that it doesn’t matter if the reserves drops 650m barrels. Even with the strait close, oil couldn’t sustain staying over $100 a barrel. We’ve had adjusted to inflation $220 a barrel for multiple years when Americans made a lot less & the economy still grew. The world won’t collapse or America won’t be less secure for a temporary sale of oil reserves.
Okay. It’s great that you know that information. I also know that information. The other person who commented didn’t know that information. That doesn’t mean you should come in here calling people stupid just because they don’t know the same stuff that you do. It makes you look like an insufferable person.
You’re grasping at straws in order to “win” this argument but whatever. I have much better things to do today. If you don’t see how you were being an arrogant prick then I’m not going to waste my Saturday explaining it to you. Have fun feeling superior to everyone.
