The price of oil

Well mes amis, lately your old friend Pierrot has become obsessed with the price of oil. Why, you ask, would a man such as Pierrot, who lives as free as a bird and drives his car into the ocean just because the bourgeois pigs insist on driving on the left side of the road, care about the price of oil? Well, because I have to rob many more people at gunpoint in order to fill whatever citroen I stole the day before in my manic flight across France - and perhaps to Italy. And when I do steal cars, the capitalist fascists with their false ideas of property often have empty tanks! Zut alors! The price fluctuates erratically on a daily basis, Pierrot knows it is commodities speculators and hedge funds trying to cover their asses against whatever new crisis is overplayed on CNN - tropical storm threatens? Oil goes up, too much. Storm is not so bad? Oil is down again. Problems with storage? Everyone knows that a few fractions of a percent fluctuation in storage rates doesn't change a thing in the real world, yeton the exchange prices adjust a hundredfold what they should. Bastards. Don't even get me started on Iran. Those fools are one of the largest producers in the world yet have to import a large portion (40%) of their refined products because they lack the will or means to build refineries without Western assistance - and because of this they want to build nuclear plants to supply the energy they already have but aren't smart enough to use. The only reason I support them is because they hat the capitalist pig fuckers in the West enough to invest in their own apocalyptic vision, cobbled from some desert tales that are centuries old, for this I commend them. But there is a lot of talk about a new benchmark, people are saying that we have said goodbye to the days of cheap oil, that oil will never fall below $40 again. That is what people said in the oil crisis of the late 70's, and by the mid-80's oil was already back around $20 in real terms from a high around $100 (also in real terms). So Pierre hopes that the capitalist economies will perish, victims of their own greed and simplify his process of theft anf grand theft auto, allowing him to live an easier life running from the law and his cuckolded wife on the avenues of Bordeaux.
