I had just looked into this recently and saw this

It doesn’t have 2024. Just Figure 1 on page 1.

But that’s just because they don’t bother filing reports anymore!

I’m skeptical. Assassination attempts are at an all-time high.

Citing the Dow tells you this persons understanding of economics ends at cnn headlines. It pretty much allows me to ignore the rest of the post.

Or he is “Citing the Dow” because he’s aware that that’s what passes for 80% of economic analysis on most major media outfits and so it fits as a data point in the larger persuasive case for Kamala/Dems on the economy.

He was bitching about how he thinks Harris is gonna break her promise to allow fracking, which he feels is so desperately needed for the economy. So I hit him with the “fact” that we produced more oil in 2023 than 2018. He was completely unfazed and just said that’s despite Biden and not because of him

It really is a futile effort. And ironically, he feels it’s just as futile talking with me :/

It does have little to do with Biden and it also had little to do with Trump. Oil production in the US has pretty consistently gone up since the mid-2000s aside from dropping because of the demand decrease caused by COVID and then recovering following the recovery.

Banning fracking would have a large impact though as almost 2/3 of production now comes from fracked wells. Biden promised to ban it, but didn’t. I guess Harris was for fracking, then against, and is for again. The Dems are surely at least somewhat less reliable on fracking, but in the end they will frack and oil production will remain high. Unfortunately. I don’t know if you all have heard of global warming.

This was actually the chicken bone in his argument, since the only evidence is his imagination.

Imagination and remembering what she said 4 years ago.

There are a lot of ways to attack this.

I’d start with “OK, what did Biden specifically do to diminish oil production”.

Of course, you are correct; it’s futile. I’d still have fun with it, but that’s just me.

Presidents have close to zero influence on oil production levels.

Also, fracking is nothing more than a buzz word and 99% of people who think they are against it have zero idea what it is. It’s just used as a replacement for “oil production”.

Fracking has been happening for 50 years.

The panic against it is a left wing example of anti-vaxxing.

I’m not sure the point you are making?

The problem with fracking is that they gave it a name that sounds like a swear word imo. Would be a lot less controversial if they just named it cody or madison.

Of course they are. Just like a very small fraction of people who take a vaccine will have an adverse effect.

That’s why it’s regulated.
