Oil price crashing yet the price at the pump barely changing definitely feels like some latestagecapitalism. The cheaper the oil, the more profit they make.

White House officials are alarmed at the prospect that numerous shale companies, many of them deep in debt, could be driven out of business if the downturn in oil prices turns into a prolonged crisis for the industry. The federal assistance is likely to take the form of low-interest government loans to the shale companies, whose lines of credit to major financial institutions have been choked off, three people said.

Trump and advisers have been taking calls since Monday from concerned energy sector allies, who have voiced concern and at times exasperation not only about oil prices, but also privately warning against the administration supporting any sweeping paid sick leave policy, according to a major GOP donor and a White House official familiar with the discussions. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss private conversations.

You thought bailing out big bank was as bad? Well prepare for bailing out big oil.

I'm not. America did the same to Cesar Chavez. Dude's life work was to help organize farm labor so they would have a say in their exploitation and was an actual social justice advocate and most people remember him today because he has a regional holiday named after him.
