Its amazing how soon we forget.
After Iraq was defeated, big oil companies were allowed to pump Iraq's oil for free and sell it at market value. And then the craziest coincidence, a few years later the market price of oil just so happened to rocket up to $150 per barrel. Oopsies! Lol. I sure wish I owned tons of stock in big oil during that time.
Much like our illustrious President Bush. What a lucky guy he was! By the craziest coincidence, him and his buddies just so happened to already be owning shit-tons of stock in big oil before the prices shot up to that level.
Sure, countless people's lives were ruined by the Great Recession. Yeah yeah yeah, yadda yadda yadda. But those stock revenues, though!
But worry not, that wouldn't happen again if we went to war with Venezuela and won. But if it did, it would just be one of those crazy co-inky-dinks! I wonder if there's any politicians today who own lots of big oil company stock?
