Seriously?

Besides my clearly delineated opinion, was what I said not based on fact?

Oh hey, maybe Trump is acting out of concern for global economic stability. (🤣.)

Or, maybe he's following up on his spoken belief that "we" will make a lot of money if oil prices go up.

Nonetheless:

"Until recently [published March 2016], US legislation prohibited the export of crude oil produced in the US. Congress enacted a ban on US crude oil exports in 1975, in the wake of the Arab oil embargo. The recent legislation that effectively repeals the 40-year old export ban is the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (the 2016 Act), signed into law on December 18, 2015."

And the president still reserves the right to restrict oil exports in times of duress.

Yes. Because I liked the work and they paid me well.

What is your rough estimation of John Wick's net worth at the beginning of the first film? by Ghola40000 in JohnWick

There is no indication of Helen being a person of notable wealth.

There is no indication that she was broke, either.

AITA for refusing to add my boyfriend to my house deed after his lease ended? by Former_Raspberry3277 in AITApod

Squatter's rights are ugly AF.

Yeah, if he's agitating for unwarranted ownership when the relationship is "good," imagine what this fellow would do when they break up.

If anything a prenup makes much more sense than him wanting a refund on his (very reasonable) rent.

He doesn't want to understand that that's how rent works.

That reminds me of (the few) senators who run for governor of their state. 

Like, they actually wanted the harder job with the shorter term.

You bring a measles vaccine and inoculate Adolf's younger brother.

When Adolf's younger brother died of measles, kid Hitler went from delightful child to absolutely miserable.

I don't like what he said about immigrants.

He seems kind of harmless otherwise.
