Um, what oil crisis? The only 'oil crisis' that I see is a self inflicted one from OPEC when they tried to lower prices in order to force American shale oil out of business.
First,
there was an oil crisis in 1973, when OPEC imposed an Oil Embargo on the US for its support of Israel during the Yom Kippur war. Then,
we had the 1979 oil shock in response to fall and rise of Iran. Note that the latter had a small (4%) actual affect on the oil supply, but the Panic meant that oil prices more than doubled. We also had the
2000s Energy Crisis, where the price of Oil was on a steady upward march until the 2008 recession.
I don't see the need for scare quotes.
So, what can actually be done about net neutrality? Are there any protests planned?
Because protests solve everything.
I, for one, would rather have protests on Net Neutrality than another "Impeach the Cheat(o)" rally. Drawing attention to Donald Trump's policies takes the focus away from this "with-us-or-against-us" culture-war mentality, because, thus far, his actual policies (as opposed to the flashy things like the travel ban) are pretty unpopular.
I was sort of wondering why Trump would put the US in such a position. I mean extra military also means you need more oil to support said military, and in our current oil crisis having a strategic reserve is even more important.
Almost all of Donald Trump's policies are reminiscent of that whole "sue the Saudis" bill that passed a year ago or something. Obama very clearly stated "This bill is short-sighted and will expose us to retaliatory legal action", and Congress flipped him off and overturned his veto by a wide margin. Then, lo and behold,
Mitch McConnell placed the blame on Obama for not reaching out to Congress enough.
Donald Trump is Congress, in this scenario. He hears "Sue the 9/11 hijackers Bill" and thinks "Oh wow, obviously we gotta do that, why wasn't that done before? Sad!" Then he marches on forward, no matter what consequences are or aren't waiting just over the horizon.
