The fuck does your comment have anything to do with COVID vaccine side-effects?!

Also, “I’m doubtful of the numbers anyone gives” Proceeds to give his numbers

Okay? They’re meaningless if we assume everyone has your opinion regarding numbers.

oil companies lower prices in response to decreased oil demand

Well, yes, but no. In oil, it IS meaningfully different than other products like VHS. I’m glad you took macroeconomics 101 but this is different.

OPEC can cut production to meet demand and maintain a stable price at any time. They don’t need to “lower prices to increase demand”. EVs have NO impact on the cost of fuel at the moment. There aren’t enough EVs and the demand for fuel far outweighs the savings.

Several OPEC+ countries agreed to voluntarily cut oil production by a total of 2.2 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 202

So don’t expect the price to stay low or get lower. They fluctuate which is normal but not due to EVs as the top poster assumed. Demand went down and price dropped. It’ll go back up end of February.

When COVID hit and demand dropped DRASTICALLY the prices plunged (shipping stopped, cars stopped, oil production didn’t stop in time). But that was an exceptional situation. OPEC doesn’t want barrel prices to drop.

Sadly she doesn’t have family there. Only in the French part and Detroit. And she chose Detroit over us 🫠

So my aunt and her kids fled the war in Ukraine and is living in the French part of Canada. At the time she applied for the US too, and they recently answered so she decided to go to Detroit instead of staying in Canada.

I’m in Canada and I’m like whyyy???

But apparently “it’s easier for her kid to become a firefighter there, school and medical care is covered for new immigrants, and she can take classes for herself for cheap too, they don’t have to learn French and the immigration is less strict”.

Honestly, in part I understand it’s not perfect here, but I highly doubt it’s better there, both situations suck until they get better. I’m just afraid they’re blinded by the “grass is greener on the other side” bs. Because no way is education and medical care is cheap there after a certain amount of time.
