OPEC to US: Please Help Us Improve the World Economy By Restricting Your Production of Oil |
2017-05-12 |
[Ace.mu.nu.] If you enjoy the spectacle of OPEC begging US oil producers to choke back the flow of oil to bail their asses out, then, as Instapundit says, you should hug a fracker. Sexton goofs on OPEC's plea, reported by CNN Money: The report said that balancing the market would "require the collective efforts of all oil producers" and should be done "not only for the benefit of the individual countries, but also for the general prosperity of the world economy." Faces in want of a fist and mouths in want of My Dick. This is very wonderful news. That these bastards, who have long enjoyed extracting money from us by artificially restricting supply, and have used the Oil Weapon against us again and again, and have used their oil wealth to prop up communist regimes (see Venezeula) or fund terrorist groups (see most of the Gulf states) or to both prop up a communist regime and fund terrorist groups (see Russia) are now begging us to help them do these things by making ourselves poorer is... well it's just about the most beautiful thing I've read in a year. And who is again who is anti-fracking? And who is pro-fracking? And which side does Russia propagandize for? Right, they pay money to anti-fracking propaganda groups in order to get us to stop making so much oil. And the left supports that, and Trump opposes that (and supports fracking). Who's the communist agent of influence again? Dick Status: Plump and Bouncy. And not in a menacing, vulgar way, but in a happy, joyous way, like the Jamboree Bears at Disneyland dancing around and playing the banjo. |

#15 Fuck them. No really--fuck them. We should take every single measure we can to increase production and drive the price even lower. Without oil, all pretenses drop--they are left with nothing but sand, as they had no honor to begin with. |

#10 OPEC must have mistaken Americans for a country who gives a $hit about their whining. They gouged us for years and held us over a barrel. The royal family got rich, we got poorer, and they were complicit in 911. |

#8 I'll know that these people are going through real financial stress when they zero out the foreign mosque and madrasa construction budget, and stipends for foreign imams. |

#6 $49/barrel and not a penny more. |

#5 So, we make $ at spot prices above $40 and OPEC needs them to be between $50 and $60. I'd say it's the camel jockeys who are now over a barrel, so to speak. |

#4 Offer to raise our price 1$ a barrel for every thousand foreign mosques they close and 100,000 Paleos they resettle in their own country. |

#3 From the CNN Money article: The cartel has in the past fought fiercely for its market share. Starting in 2014, it pumped relentlessly in order to squeeze higher cost American producers. The strategy pushed prices well below $30 per barrel and forced many U.S. producers to scale back in 2015 and 2016. But it had a disastrous effect on the government budgets of OPEC members, forcing them to implement austerity measures. It also forced U.S. producers to become more efficient, and they can now withstand much lower prices than just a few years ago. Analysts at UBS estimate that U.S. producers can now make money as long as prices remain above $40 per barrel, down from $65 in early 2014. An unexpected consequence! |

#2 We could always join OPEC. Partake of the fine dining, attend the meetings, pontificate, and then tell them we do not choose to control the individual producers. |

#1 I have been so looking forward to the day we can tell OPEC to go pound sand. The faster these terrorist states go broke, the better. |
