    I saw a funny bloomberg article saying 100$ a barrel is actually okay in this day and age; just absolute cope.

    It said Oil would have to reach 190$ a barrel before anyone should worry, and 190$ a barrel? You know they chose a number extremely close to 200$ without directly saying 200$ because they know that sounds horrifying, especially as it’s directly double what it’s reached now. This is like a shop selling a product at 1.99$ because they know it looks better to the consumer than just flat out saying 2$.
