#1 One of the biggest stories of the century, with implications for everything from economic prosperity to our foreign policy to helping our working class and reducing inequality -- and yet this vastly consequential story has been consistently buried, spiked, suppressed by our idiot media execs.

Unbelievable.

#2 Unabated good news.

Best of all, we can now withdraw from the Middle East. Those camel-fuckers can keep their dirty oil. If Europe wants it, let them pay for armies and navies. We're through providing welfare for wealthy First World nations that can well afford it. And then DESPISE us for having a military.

Fuck all of them.

#3 We were always basically given the oil. We paid and the sauds sent it right back in bribes to the beltway crowd and purchases of stuff they can't ever make for themselves. The beltway crowd isn't going to give up their baksheesh easily.

#4 fwiw, the US has been a net exporter of natural gas since June of this yeat

also, the US actually is still a net importer of crude petroleum, however, we refine much more than we use and export refined products such as propane, distillate, gasoline and jet fuel

the fact that we are a net importer of crude and a net exporter of products is very good for the economy since the latter are value added

#5 I was assured that we couldn't drill our way out of this.
