NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil.
Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year.
Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%.
That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices.

To be honest, given our current economic situation, I have no problem with self-indulgent rich women paying millions, while ordinary Americans struggle to feed their families, pretending to go into "space." I do question, however, the value of their return.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe

The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.
