    As much as I agree with the sentiment that the companies are willing to profit off of a crisis wether manufactured or organic, I have a hard time seeing non-orange buffoons changing his mind. Talk sure, but domestic companies wouldn’t want to miss out on the external opportunities. Let alone the external pressure that would be put on the multinational companies to keep the fuel flowing. Republicans aren’t going to win the election making this happen this late, given how long the tail is in diesel pricing. It’ll take months to bring it down even if they flipped the switch now. It also ignores sourcing and more of the complexity of the entire industry.
