They're going to come running in screaming "Idiots and thieves are robbing their own people!"

The same Trump said cheap petrol is good for the people and bad for the economy.

Well, gasoline will be another 50 kopecks cheaper (hope for more?), and GDP will be a percentage point worse for a few years.

PS: Figures are arbitrary. All coincidences are coincidental.

What do you care about GDP?

Do you get a percentage of it or any other benefit? ))

 
Maybe it's not true about the embargo and it won't be imposed. But if they do not agree on production levels, oil might go back to 20. And then the oil producers will compensate for their losses on the domestic market and an embargo on imports of cheap fuel will be quite probable. I am afraid to develop the idea further or the post will be deleted for politics.

Child's play, really.

All the social welfare, etc. The country develops from it, and I live in it.

Kindergarten, really.

All the social services etc. From him the country develops, and I live in it.

All budget revenues go offshore or further afield.

Do you get a salary?

One might ask in a similar vein. Have you been carrying out these transactions to be so confident about all the revenues?
It's supposed to be about oil. And here we go again with #EverythingFailure. There are other resources for that, discuss there where and how states transfer their profits.

Anyway, it's about oil, isn't it? And here we go again with #AllSoil. There are other resources for that, discuss there where and how states transfer their profits.

I didn't say all is lost ))

If such topics are being discussed"banning oil product imports to Russia", then no OPEC agreement (cartel collusion) is imminent and so one can cautiously go short.

 
Encouraging news is unlikely to bring the price back to past levels anytime soon. All the storage facilities are full to capacity. More likely to stabilise at $25-35.
