What is this? Who the hell cares about the oil industry right now?

Itâs also about putting pressure on other areas to open up as well. Even the people who intellectually understand the need for the lockdowns donât like them. We want to be able to travel, to eat at restaurants, to hug our friends. So, if a few areas loosen up and their numbers donât immediately skyrocket (which they wonât, at least for a few days b/c of the incubation period), (a) public pressure grows on politicians in other areas to loosen restrictions and (b) more people start ignoring the local rules
Itâs chaotic and generates horrible outcomes, but it also means that Trump gets less of the blame because itâs easier to say that the outcomes were the result of local variance rather than the national response.
I expect everyone will let me know if Iâm heading into Conspiratardia, but I assume he will withhold critical funding and supplies from anyone who does not bend the knee. That includes suppressing testing, lying about results, and opening for business as though everything is fine, all to support the Emperorâs assertion that he is not sans vĂȘtements.
Telegraphing the next multi trillion dollar bailout obviously. Going to be awesome when we run a 10T or larger deficit this year just to bail out all the rich people. Then I am sure both parties will go back to âBut how are we going to pay for itâ at the earliest opportunity.

When he brags about all the testing the US has done, I wish someone would ask how we compare on a per capita basis.
âWe canât implement universal health care now, look how big the debt is!â

What is a seige?
Even after they do, theyâre just replaced by evil younger people.
Considering I can make 80-100K/year working remotely from my home office doing Oil & Gas title when the industry is good, and am currently making $0 with the casinos closed and O&G in the shitter, I care.
They got 16 billion in 2018 and they still need more?
Iâm sorry to hear you are going through that. I think bailing out the oil industry at least in Oklahoma is basically impossible though. Oil prices were already in the dumpster prior to this and almost every oklahoma based o&g company is up to their ass in junk bonds. Not to mention the price of these commodities are set by the international market. You canât produce profitably at prices 15$ above what they are today. In other words giving them money doesnât magically turn the rigs back on.
Maybe Iâm missing something but the economic situation here seems hopeless.
one of the best years in recorded history last year. out of money now, though! must bail them out!

So what happens in the Villages when a bunch of people die, 401ks are cut in half, and the value of the homes goes down 40%? Gonna be a tough election season for President Hoover.

No it wonât.
Donald Trump is the Jim Jones of politics. He could get millions to drink poisoned Kool Aid if he wanted to. Hell heâs already got underlings telling old people to kill themselves for the sake of the economy.
Whatâs shocking is that shit like this is what normally launches approval ratings through the roof for politicians. The top party here, ANO, has skyrocketed since coronavirus came.

Sure, heâs definitely a cult leader, but look at it like a normal curve, heâll lose 30%, and thatâs plenty for a landslide everywhere.
