  7. They don't need to invest in oil for the future. They should invest in alternative energy. Good the margins of profitability of oil is falling, the bloody oil lobby will weaken, and the reasonable people will be able to peruse renewable technology.

  9. People should speak on their state. Our gas prices hasn’t gone up but 2 cents since Trump became President and it happen after Harvey. So all y’all Democrats speak for your states or just run to your safe space and stay there. 🇺🇸
