It causes massive inflation of goods and food prices, as farming and supply chains are heavily dependent on fuel prices. How is runaway inflation “massively winning in every other way” for regular americans?

The price of oil isn't just about the "cost of gas at the pump". It's about how much it costs to transport anything. There aren't many products that don't need to be transported or that don't depend at least partially on something that does.

So yeah, when the price of oil goes up, oil companies make more money, and prices go up for pretty much everyone.

The difference between the US and a petrostate is that the US is rich because we use gas, not because we make gas. Put differently, petrostate economies rely upon on oil revenues; we rely on the actual product at every stage in our economy.

There is a segment of our economy that does benefit from oil revenues, but the vast majority of our economic output involves oil consumption.

> US gas prices are by far the cheapest among every halfway developed countries

Most of the retail pump price difference is self-inflicted, though. If those other countries wanted to suffer less in that regard, they know how.

The big winners from global warming will be Russia, China and Canada - places that will become more habitable.

Its not just Florida. There are multiple problems. Many can be mitigated, but I very much doubt they will be as its easy to put off.

This seems like soft trolling. Global warming is canonically the opposite of a zero sum game. Everyone is losing.

Don't forget all the states in the middle that are experiencing the worst drought in a millenium, with snowpack and river flows at record lows, all while each state is adding more people (and thus more water demand), and interstate river compacts expire, and years-long negotiations on a renewal have been fruitless.

In the short to medium term, sure . . . again, left unchecked gets bad for every human when tipping points are passed.

Eg: When surface ice gets very low the trapped heat will go more torward heating water than melting ice.

That's very double plus bad (ask a high school physics teacher about the energy used to melt, say, a kilogram of ice .. then ask them by how many degrees C does that same energy raise the temp. of water).

The Jones Act requires that all goods transported by water between US ports be carried on ships that were built in the US, fly the US flag, and crewed by US citizens. That effectively makes it impossible to ship oil between US states at scale without a direct pipeline.

Though to be clear I believe we would still be a net exporter without the Jones Act, it's just one of those weird things about the US oil industry.
