Get ready for the pinch at the pump again...

In a surprise move on Sunday, several major oil-producing nations, led by Saudi Arabia, announced a cut in oil production totaling 1.15 million barrels per day from May until the end of the year. This unexpected decision is expected to increase oil prices globally.

However, this announcement could have far-reaching consequences. Firstly, it could financially benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently engaged in a conflict with Ukraine, as higher oil prices could help fund his endeavors. Secondly, it could lead to global inflation, resulting in consumers in the United States and elsewhere paying more for fuel. Lastly, this decision could further strain the already troubled relationship between Saudi Arabia and its allies and the United States, as the US has been urging them to increase production to reduce prices and harm Russia’s economy.

I've been saying this since day one. I'm surprised it took them this long to go after it. It probably needed to reach a point that it made it worthwhile for them.

One BIG reason I never bought Bitcoin.

A product that competes with the dollar and allows ppl to hide money from the irs? No thx

Ppl have always loved using cash to hide money from the government.

Enter electronic U.S. money where they can track every dollar used.

Now that’s fucking control in a nutshell.

$50 says that they "pause" now because of some generic bullshit contrived crisis that will appear before the next hike. Gotta keep that market pumped up.
