    hit 94 for a bit, mr. porky, i don’t feel so good.

    i wonder though, if they maintain this for couple of weeks, they start shutting down wells, and what then, it will be wobbly for 6 months after that

    This might be dumb, but why would Trump willingly do price shocks? I was hoping that during a midterm with a Republican trifecta, the porks would be on their best behavior to make the gop look good.

    My guess is they know the American people will vote red anyway. Rich people can do anything they want, and Americans like it.
