It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The one who’s destroying the oil and gas industry was Trump lol!
If you know anything about the oil industry, you’d know that the investors hated Trump. Many investors who went all in on the Shale revolution in 2013-14 (which was booming thanks to Obama) all ended up losing billions and billions under Trump because he wanted to keep gas price low. Trump truly didn’t know what he was doing lol.
It took until Biden’s Ukraine war to pivot the US back into a top oil and natural gas exporter again, and profits started to flow once more.
Trump also forced China into signing long-term contracts with the US to purchase liquid natural gas, then when the price exploded during the Ukraine war, the producers who were involved in the contracts all ended up losing money all because Trump wanted to show what a genius he was at making business deals with his enemies lol.
The stereotype that oil and gas people only vote for the Republicans may no longer hold true after seeing what Trump has done to their industry lol. All of Biden’s maneuvers following Trump’s fumbling may just have gained the Democratic Party the support from the energy sector this time around.
