Wrong. We don’t need to build refining capacity. We just need to remind China that who’s the big dog, which we seem to be doing.

They’ll fall in line quickly enough.

I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm (seems not?) or trolling (sounds like it).

How are we reminding China that the US is a big dog? By imposing tariffs? By demonstrating our ability to do work domestically that they believe us unwilling or incapable of doing?

What does this even mean, to be a big dog in the modern world? It seems more like a large ship listing to one side … if it collapses there will be a lot of small ships damaged in the wake.

  Remember, Mommy,
  I'm off to get a Commie,
  So send me a salami,
  And try to smile somehow.
  I'll look for you when the war is over ---
  An hour and a half from now

Time to short the US dollar and load up on Bitcoin.
