So why import ? And why draw down the strategic national reserve with China and Russia more of a threat than anytime since the mid 80s? Political move domestically?
something to do with importing higher quality oil we need and exporting our standard crude
The country has always relied on a fresh influx of workers to fill low level jobs that established residents won't do. Not to say they can be illegal but go thru the process one of which is asylum.
Well, that was a better response than I was expecting. Although not from the person I was expecting.
I'm kidding. I wasn't expecting a response from the O.P.
Just to be sure, you did see that I was talking about not enough people commiting crimes, right?
But you are correct about the history of cheap labor in this country. Whether we import the labor or export the job we've always been willing to sabotage ourselves in the long term for a cheap product today.

While [Ukraine’s military ]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/putins-annexation-plans-ripped-up-as-ukraine-smashes-russian-defensive-line')has been successfully chasing Russian troops out of one territory after another, [Vladimir Putin’s foot soldiers]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/were-fucked-vladimir-putins-great-russia-plan-just-went-up-in-smoke-in-lyman') have apparently been turning their weapons on each other as the Russian leader’s “special military operation” continues to come apart at the seams in spectacular fashion.

and for years we trained as though the Soviets were eight feet tall with tanks impervious to our weapons:rolleyes:
C’mon now. Remember all the cheap shit Russian crap you could buy in Hunters Warehouse? That’s still what they use. They were depending on Google for directions in the spring, FM radios you can buy at Dicks.

Time to start fracking more and completing the Keystone pipeline. Too soon ?
we already frack...the pipeline is a delivery system not a production system...the oil that the pipeline would deliver is delivered now by other means
its delivered by hundreds of trucks and rail cars. efficiency ? and didn't Cumhole and a few other libs restrict or prohibit fracking. While we resume relying on enemies like Venezuela and the fickle A-rabs ? Not saying we should not go full bore on fusion and tidal turbine technologies while we bear with the solar and wind stuff, but use fossil fuels now and replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve NOW!
