Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not really insider at this point. The insider part right now is that all the forces of capital are doing what they can to keep oil prices low. With the disruption that we have had so far it should be significantly higher to reduce demand down to actual supply. And, at a certain point, it becomes an entirely non elastic demand as critical infrastructure of entire countries can't be maintained.

Shit is not gonna go well. I'm in Seoul South Korea now and I've already seen a reduction in energy usage by the state. They had a lot of moving pathways and escalators turned off in the subways this weekend. We're gonna see much more of things like that VERY VERY quickly. Buy some solar panels.
