Zone1 Is the America first agenda real ?

Or to utilize and work with it wisely.

That's what is meant by subdue it, like training an animal for service, or turning an overgrown thicket into a productive garden.

Years ago, soon after I moved to P.A., I met an Old Timer who told me about the firt oil ever found in the U.S. in what is now Oil CIty, PA near Franklin. H etold me that eventually the Roosevelt administration avtually paid the owners of the well to keep their oil underground because Roosevelt was about to make a lucrative trade agreement with the Saudis over their oil. So, YES...that kind of shit does happen. All that shipping and switching hands allows them to jack up the prices and launder the fact through thrid party after third party and all the economic parameters the goods are subject to in transit. They started doing that shit after the pnadmic too. Just making up bullshit to explain inflation, and even deliberately creating conditions to help justify it. Oh, did I mention that FDR and Biden were Democrats?

For decades most Americans understood that it was better to keep our oil in reserve and use up the oil from the middle east. That was before we discovered that there were vast oil reserves all over the place.

I think oil trading is pretty straight forward. Even with trading costs imported oil and even imported gasoline is generally cheaper than domestically produced oil or gasoline. Our costs of production are higher simply because we pay people more to produce it. The downside is that it contributes to our trade deficit.

The world might be waking up to the USA enjoying the cheap product's at their citizen's heavy expense, but maybe not since they are communist and socialist who could give a dam if their citizen's are poor, otherwise as they are forced to produce the world's products simular to what the south was doing for the world during the cotton booms of the pre-civil war south. Oh that's right, we had slaves during that time period also didn't we ?
