Steve’s Barking; Oil prices going up, too much of a good thing for oil producing states

Oh my the price of oil futures were going through the roof. Great for Russia, great for the Arab oil producers, and even Venezuela. The problem it’s greatest for alternative energy. The higher the price of oil goes up, the more Afordable alternatives are. The more profits that alternatives are the more companies get into them. The more companies get into them the cheaper they become, and the more dependent the consumer becomes on alternative fuel, the less they will need oil. So all you investors out there bet on oil futures.

Steve’s Barking; Is the US turning into a little Afghanistan?

Another mass School shooting in America. Mass shootings at churches. Afghanistan has killings at schools and places of worship. The only diffence between the mass killings in Afghanistan and the US is the Afghans use car bombs and we in the US use guns. Eventually we’ll all become immune.

Steve’s Barking; America’s mom and pop presidency

The current President of the United States runs his presidency just like he ran his business. It was a reality Business that was run just like the local grocery store. Run by the family with several outside employees as needed. The owner might have a couple of trusted employees that have seemed to have been with him forever. Now the owner may or may not cheat his customers, but rest a sure that there are favorites who get preferential treatment such as the NRA from this administration. Sometimes the owner lets the family borrow the Cadillac or he may not let the family use the car at all, just like our president makes his kids travel in coach while he has a private jet when he was a civilian.

Steve’s Barking; For domestic consumption

The way things are going in the world today it appears that one can’t believe foreign policies. Take the US of A. Is building a wall with Mexico a real global issue or is it just a promise to appease the rabble? Is Israel claiming that Iran is cheating on its Nuclear deal, just a deversion by its prime minister who is under a cloud? Does Russia really give a damn about the Ukraine or is it just a way of showing how tough they are to the populous back home? Could North Korea’s missile and nuclear threat been a show for the people of North Korea? Is America’s threat of tariffs a stupid ploy?
