I wouldn't necessarily believe what Saudi says, however.

Camel meat is pretty tasty cooked right, I've heard

Again, market confidence is really low

Even if they restore it, we can see that they aren't untouchable.

Iran needs to chill out

Many countries already have scaled back daily production because the price of oil had lowered. If the price goes up, they can just produce more elsewhere to level it out.

Or sell their reserves like the u.s. is doing

Saudi arabia doesn't necessarily have much more oil than anywhere else anymore. They are already doing large scale fracking because their natural deposits are largely depleted.

Fracking can go on for quite awhile, but it's just very bad for groundwater.

They blast the rock with water and that exposes heavy metals, those heavy metals taint the water and it seeps into aquifers sometimes.

saudi is screwed in the long run

fracking aint gonna help

@Pelth the price is going up, sowdee arabia had a tanker explode so they can pin it on their political enemies, but they forget that they killed 3000 americans and laugh about it

it will go up in the short term at least

and also since donald has halted oil from Iran

it's been halted for a long time

which is bad,

not really

yes it is

The global producers of oil are a little different than they were 20 years ago. The middle east is becoming less important

all oil should be halted

Not when we don't have a viable replacement energy source ready for mass usage

Pretty much all non renewables use oil in some form

so they aren't really non renewables

energy is only one part of it also. so much oil is used for plastics and other things

redpilled article tbh

yes because companies and lobbying has done this

just like the tobacco industry is lobbying for vaping to be "unhealthy"

I'm sure it is very unhealthy. It's only been around for a few years and it's already getting children addicted to nicotine.

The longterm effects are unknown. We only have reason to believe that they will be negative.

The thing is that the tobacco industry owns a large stake in e-cigs as well

So e-cigs are just another arm of big tobacco

kids shouldnt be vaping, its intended to get people to quit, not for a calming effect that nicotene gives, the long term affects ARE known it causes lung infections and weakens the immune system

Probably half or more of vapers started vaping without ever smoking in the first place. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Many possible long term effects are unknown because vaping is different than smoking cigarettes.

You'll get a lot of the same problems as cigarettes and potentially more.

Vaping has only really been big for 3-4 years at most. Smokers have never really been known to die within 3-4 years. If people keep vaping, there could be a point 15-20 years in where they start dropping like flies.

Vaping has been big for 10 or more years. The devices avaible were not as user friendly. You had to build coils and wick them yourself. The current vaping issue is with thc juice versus nicotine juice. Vaping is safer then smoking if you use the device as it made to be. People are going to insane temps and crazy low wiring melting levels.

I wouldn't say it's been big that long, not big in the way it has been for the past 3-4 years

Early vaping was probably even more dangerous in some ways
