Thank You OPEC!

I’d like to thank our friends in OPEC for granting mercy on the American populous by lowering the price of crude oil. Although America has drilled oil every which way but loose, this great expansion in industrialism has netted zero advantages for my country, with exception to a few modern day oil barons like the Koch (cock) Brothers.

You say ‘Never Again‘ and I say ‘thank you very much’; please shut down our stupid shale production areas.

If buying oil exclusive from the great OPEC means $2.00 gasoline, I say fuck US oil production and let the good times roll.

    Don’t forget to thank Obama with his announcement about the new tax hike at the pump. Since we have lower gas prices now no harm in pushing his dick up our ass a little more now. I so hate that fucker!!

    Tried SMASHBURGER yesterday. Place was full (variety of folks there), no tables open, and a line consistently formed at the 1:30pm hr.

    I thought the SMASHBURGER was good, the fries were weak (essentially potato sticks), the shake was fine.

    Bottom line, I can see why MCD, WEN, and other legacy fast food joints are having trouble. These places like Shakeshack,Smash, 5Guys and others offer higher quality food at a price point that is not going to push the majority of demographics away from their shops. I paid $12.50 and waited 10-15 minutes to get my food to go. When it comes to food, this is an expense that the average peeps are not going to be afraid to shell out a lil more to get satisfaction.

    These places are taking over, and the trend does not look to be easing anytime soon. Will look to buy $HABT on a dip.

    BTW, I think we go lower on oil and equities until 22nd ECB meeting.

    If oil keeps dropping like this, I’ll have to check into buying a solid gold toilet like the one that King Abdullah gave to his daughter as a wedding present.

      The only fad is shit fast food. California is known for jackasses that think energy is evil. But here in the west we own the good fast food trade. Habit by the will of the gods will make fortunes for the speculator. It tastes good.

    When OPEC crashed the housing market the plebs rejoiced. Houses now cost half what they were worth only six months before. The middle class thrived being able to afford made in china crap on a truly grand scale. The “savings” lead to a boom. The kids all got new cars for the 16th b-day. Grandparents were able to afford a second vacation home. Renting became a thing of the past. Everyone could now “afford” a brand new home.

    We should burn up their oil first. Particularly for $2/gal or less. They need us or they are defenseless against the Persians.

      Oil will be obsolete before it runs out. Between technological advances in oil extraction (lowering costs, adding reserves) and alternative energy (putting a ceiling on oil’s value), I think that future price bounces on oil will be limited. And we will see energy costs decrease over the next few decades.

    Prince Alwaleed bin Talal would like a word:

    “Q: Let me switch to the terrorism in Paris. Terrorists killed the cartoonist who joked about the prophet Mohammed. What is your opinion on this?

    A: What took place is a horrendous crime that no one can permit and accept. And unfortunately these small minority people are ruining the name of Islam. Now the whole world — Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists — have to come together and be united, and be sure to eliminate those minority of the Muslim community. Those that hijacked our religion and try to eliminate them not only militarily. That’s happening right now against ISIS (the Islamic State) by the Americans and their allies. But also mentally, educationally and culturally, also. This is a disease we are getting at now. This really will put us in the Middle Ages unfortunately. It feels like the Middle Ages right now. But I think that the world is united. I just heard, for example, (U.S. Secretary of State) John Kerry giving a speech in French, which was very nice of him to do. It was a calming process for the French people. My foundation is in communication with the presidential palace in France and the French government, to see what we can do to … (support) these families and these victims, innocent victims that were under attack. And then we have to show that Islam really is united with Christianity, and Judaism, and other religions in the world to limit this disease from from Earth.”
