Trying to make sense of nonsense

Our President just returned from Saudi Arabia to "beg" for more oil production. What? Wait - I thought he vowed to kill fossil fuels. What up? The Saudis kind of laughed old Joe off. Said they would try and up their production from 12M barrels a day, to 13. But it would take time. And by the way, our oil is "cleaner". But who cares? Joe is scared to death right now, higher oil prices will cause a red tsunami the size of a mountain. But by the same token, he does not want to disappoint the "greenies" by drilling more in this country. Bottom line? Old Joe is in a box canyon. He is in a real pickle.

This week is going to be a scorcher in much of the country. Is it the fault of the American fossil fuel industry? Maybe - a bit. Or maybe not at all. Is it the fault of the Russian war on Ukraine? With all those fires and explosions? Maybe. Is it the fault of the Saudis? OPEC? China? Don't know. But I do know this - our fossil fuels may be responsible to a small degree, but NOTHING like China is doing to the environment. But who cares? So long as we punish the American people.

Punishing the American people for "man-made global warming" makes as much sense as punishing gun owners for the faults of the criminals. What is my solution to our fossil fuel issue? Put things back to where they were during Trump. We can come up with a "mutual suffering" plan, once the rest of the world is all in. Right now, we look like chumps. China is sailing along, fat, dumb and happy, as America tetters on the verge of recession - or worse.

I know, I know. This sounds like nonsense. We are up on the North Shore. All hi-way driving. My truck gets good mileage on highway driving. That being said, it cost me $82.25 to fill up this morning for the drive home. That is outrageous. But Slo Joe keeps reminding us the cost of gas is coming down. How much so? Like if your doctor told you to lose 100 pounds, and you end up losing 3 pounds. You tell your doctor your are losing weight. He probably would not agree with that.

Why is this Administration so clueless? On the news last week, it was reported that the average amount of time anyone in Biden's Administration have spent in the business world is 1.5 years. That is terrible. It also explains a lot. Instead of hiring skilled managers, Biden loaded up with lawyers and idealogues. Social warriors. Idiots. The result of which, is very plain for all to see.

If Biden were smart and brave, he would start drilling like crazy. It would curb our coming recession, and maybe blunt the coming global slow down. But Biden and his handlers are neither smart nor brave. So we are stuck. We are stuck trying to make sense out of the nonsense. Oh, joy.
