      Honestly I am surprised at how much it has worked so far. He told companies not to raise prices in the face of tariff inflation and so far they largely have. It’s stupid and under classical economic theories will have unintended consequences such as causing shortages but in the short term it’s been working which really sucks for those of us who have been warning about consequences that have largely not happened.

    If only there could be any alternative sources of energy out there to discover and develop to diminish the dependence on petroleum. If only :(

    Oh well, at least there’s an infinite supply of crude oil along with an atmosphere fully capable of absorbing all that liberated carbon without any adverse effects.
