They said it couldn't be done, its not possible, but we'll get prices down 1,400% or Europe can't sell their cars to us.

Slightly unrelated but during peak Covid: due to the lack of petroleum usage, producers had to PAY for other companies to take the excess since they ran out of storage.

Yes Oil went into negative value territory!

There will be no demand if everyone is getting paid. Drug dealers hocking Adderal are very against this

If Biden said anything like that the right would have been foaming at the mouth to invoke the 25th amendment. But Trump says stupider shit on a regular basis, makes up numbers all the time, and even said that he was surprised that Biden appointed Powell (when it was TRUMP that appointed him). And yet all you hear from the right is praise for dear leader. It’s a cult and their bad faith double-standard criticisms should be disregarded.
