Opinion | Granholm to Europe: Tough Luck
www.wsj.com
The Energy Secretary bullies U.S. companies to reduce fuel exports.

My man just styling on europe:

America’s allies in Europe are desperate for alternative supplies of fuel amid the Ukraine war, and U.S. producers are happy to provide what they can. So wouldn’t you know the Biden Administration now wants to limit fuel exports.

      You realize that Europe trades these dollars for anything that they would want to buy? For example, a lavish welfare state? And then has the nerve - the fucking nerve - to shit on America because we don't have one. Yeah maybe if we profited $60 billion a year from trade with Europe we could afford to have some nice things. But no, it's the other way around; Europe gets the massive cash infusion and Americans get stuck with the bill.

      You say it's not a problem? OK, let's switch: America sells Europe the goods and gets paid $60 billion a year. Oh, suddenly it doesn't sound like such a good idea, eh? Europe can't afford that!
