What’s happening to oil has little to do with #coronavirus.

Russia and Saudi Arabia are trying to destroy each other, and hurting America in the process. And they are both happy with that.

Neither country is our ally or friend.
Another hedge on this oil price war would be Venezuela which has the world’s largest oil reserves. But they’ve stopped being a player years ago. #SocialismKills
The Saudi will produce up to 12 million barrels a day to drive the price down to ~$20. Unprofitable. But being state-run industry the Kingdom will offset losses with liquidity.

Russo has none. America does, but imagine the politics of a bailout.

Socialists do not realize that capitalism’s privately owned means of production benefit everyone who buys the products of those means of production. Thus privately owned auto plants, steel mills, and iron mines benefit the buyers of automobiles. Likewise for all other products.
The socialists’ mentality is trapped in the Dark Ages, when production was not yet for the market but for the personal use of the producers, an arrangement that the socialists seem to think was superior, since it was “production for use” rather than “production for profit.”
Under capitalism, the private owners of means of production see profitable opportunities and on their own initiative use their means of production to produce things that others, often millions and tens of millions of others, want to buy.

My guess is 100 percent of the people who do want a socialist have zero idea what socialism actually means.
Here’s some things young people should understand about socialism:

• 4 of the top 5 genocides since the 1900’s occurred due to socialism and communism
• Everytime it’s done on a mass scale your basic rights erode until all at once they’re gone
• If you think Venezuela can’t happen here then you don’t know just a few years ago Bernie Sanders said that Venezuela more embodied the American dream than America
• Political opposition becomes criminal or heavily persucuted
• The majority end up poor and hungry together
