If the price of oil is dropping, will that result in gas prices dropping? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:12 10
- what I don't get is if the US is a net exporter of oil, why does cutting off russian imports matter? -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 9, 11:16 2
  - I read earlier many refineries here not set up for N.A. crude. Set up to refine Mid-Eastern which is different. -- nm - zunk xometimes Mar 9, 11:23
  - because crude oil is a global commodity and the price is set on a global scale -- nm - decline Mar 9, 11:20
- What spamlet said. - znufrii Mar 9, 11:14
- yes but not right away. The oil bought at the high price still has to be processed into gas. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 11:13 2
  - Though of course oil companies factor in increases as soon as they occur. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 11:42

  - Everyone on this board severely underestimates how popular DeSantis actually is. -- nm - MDH Mar 9, 11:23 19
    - I also think that you overthink how popular he is. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 11:40 3
      - DeSantis has a 53% approval rating in FL. That is a massive number in current day standards. -- nm - MDH Mar 9, 11:44 2
        
        He got 50.1% of the votes, so I can see he had some gains in his approval. But to say he is wildly popular, well, I dunno. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 9, 11:52
        
        "... in FL" -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 11:51

    - I think most here know he's popular. -- nm - Inigo Mar 9, 11:33
    - and it vexes because he is so OBVIOUSLY a creepy snakeoil salesman. -- nm - mud Mar 9, 11:25
    - And he's doing this to pander to Trump voters for a presidential run. - Dark Callisto Mar 9, 11:25 9
      - Yup. He's easily the nominee if Trump doesn't run, and he likely destroys any Dem candidate. -- nm - MDH Mar 9, 11:33 8
        
        This reminds me of when Giuliani was the prohibitive favorite in early polling. -- nm - David Mar 9, 11:41
        
        I disagree with your last point. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 11:35 6
        
        Dem candidate = Biden - Inigo Mar 9, 11:37 3
        
        Wait, is that Bernie music I hear!?! -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 11:42 1
        
        never. -- nm - mud Mar 9, 11:51
        
        Agreed on the IM, just covering all the bases. -- nm - MDH Mar 9, 11:40
