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.

The worst and most stupid bit is this:

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are "suffering from this, frankly, more than we are."

He claimed this was because they had "focused on a lot of green energy scams and they're hurting a lot more than we are."

Vance continued:"As much as we've got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they're feeling it far worse than we did because we've taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

I'm sure Norway is crying all the way to the bank. It's hard work hauling all that oil and fertilizer money.

But they won't.

Our boi here, bless his heart, ‘Ol Jaydee can actually hide his own Easter eggs. It keeps him busy while the grownups are napping off Sunday dinner.

Judging from the stock markets, he is right. Swedish industry stocks are down 10-15% the last month. Without steady oil, it will be a big problem for those companies i guess.
