it's not very funny
It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren't reflective enough to realise what's happening.
This 100%. You’re getting downvoted but I don’t think Americans realize how irritating their fellow countrymen can be on the internet and in person to non Americans. There’s also the defaultism as if everyone is American (or wants to be American) which gets REALLY tiring after a while
American exceptionalism is the belief that word special, for good or bad. It's just pouring on a different kind of Americans exceptionalists, the one who think our trajectory is something new.
Also, we do. A lot of us do....
Hysst. Let me enjoy my schadenfreude till the stench reaches here.
Better to laugh with its stupidity than to cry for it
Its extremely funny seeing idiot Americans who voted (and those who didnt vote at all) for a 34 count rapist felon, seditionous traitor and then protest by holding little signs and wearing pink jackets.
You guys only use your 2nd amendment rights in schools against children. America is a circus and Americans are the clowns.
The people who go out and protest are very likely people who voted, and not for him.
What you are doing is lumping 65% of the population that isn't like that with the 35% minority that is partially like that. Don't be ignorant.
Adding up the people who didn't vote to the people that voted for the orange one, it's more like 65% of USAmericans are like that
Interestingly, I don't think that's going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn't rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.
OPEC will reduce production if the price of oil goes too low.
yea, probably so
In a recession with lower demand and everyone hunkering down oil prices probably decline.
