Congrats Exxon, Trump to the Rescue

Oil prices have been sagging since 2022 and that is just not good for Exx..er..I mean America so trump did something about it. Crude hit $100 today and it looks that's just a start. Oil is not flowing through the Strait of Hormuz and it is uncertain when traffic will return to normal.

There may come some levelling as users react by using less fuel; but we should remember petroleum is far more than merely the source of the stuff we buy as motorists.

Do you have a steady source of income with surplus for that popcorn and coke??

@sree251 Funny you should ask. Yes. I do. CPI indexed for life, with a nice little nest egg on the side. And my kids wont need to come to me for handouts. Not "rich" but my income exceeds my outgoings and always will.. Hoping you are the same..😷

I am impressed. Sounds like you have got your shit together.

Fuck yeah. I got wise at the age of 35. Got off the treadmill, gave up my career, and retired. No family, no kids, no friends, no debts, and wandering the Earth like Jesus. God gave me a pile of cash thru an inheritance from my grandfather. Like you, "not rich" but enough to live where I want anywhere in the world.
