not "nears level"

it's already BELOW the 300 million barrels permanent damage level and dropping every week

the "70 million barrels" is the level disputed by people who are just guessing the damage won't be beyond repair

they cannot refill it at these prices for months, maybe years, unless American oil companies are going to sell below market value, which they won't because why would they? Are they going to steal it from Venezuela? Or Greenland?

like everything else this administration, someone else's problem, the entire cabinet is multi-millionaires, they will walk away in two years and just shrug

By end of the year Diesel will break the all-time record ever over $6, and that's going to completely break commerce when nothing can be shipped anywhere reasonably and even Walmart/Amazon can't get trucks around the country profitably

This all echos of Bush/Cheney, Iraq Forever War, Stop-Loss and utterly destroyed economy, except extra stupid this time around with no logic at all, just an 80yr-old with growing dementia playing with his drapes and tacky gold, putting his name on everything like a child while everything burns
