Video: Saudis Pay HALF The Amount Americans Do For Gas
While Biden begs tyrants for oil, his advisors are still pushing the ‘green transition’

An NBC News reporter has highlighted that if a country drills its own oil, its citizens are rewarded with affordable energy prices.
NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell posted a video from Saudi Arabia, captioning it “Checking on gas prices in Saudi Arabia. 2.33 Riyal per litre. About 62 cents US.”

The Saudi prices roughly equate to $2.35 per gallon, while the national average in the U.S. is hovering around $5 per gallon.
As we have highlighted, Joe Biden spent two years attacking and threatening to shut down U.S. oil producers, then asked them to ramp up production, with more threats, when things got bad.
Simultaneously, Biden has attempted to cosy up to Saudi Arabia, “begging and bowing down” to the murderous tyrants in charge, to quote Rand Paul, in the vain hope that they will increase oil production.
Of Course, Saudi is unlikely to do that and the royal authoritarians running the country appear to be loving watching Biden squirm before them.
Still, there doesn’t appear to be any plan to move back to energy independence, with Biden’s ‘climate czar’ John Kerry and other advisors repeatedly stating that the ‘painful’ transition to green energy (the infrastructure for which doesn’t exist) is necessary, and bragging that job losses throughout the energy industry are a good thing.

Biden caused it. We were energy independent under Trump and actually selling barrels to other countries. Low gas prices.

Biden stop the pipeline construction, stop Drilling in Alaska and the Gulf. Now he's begging terrorists for oil. Also just gave China 1 million barrels.
Biden's admin is taking a bizarre victory lap on gas prices – claiming the recent $0.50 decline is saving families “$50 a month.”

But gas prices are UP over $2 a gallon since Biden took office. By their logic, that's costing families over $200 per month!https://t.co/DnWvXLydIz
When asked Monday what the actual point of Biden’s embarrassing trip to Saudi Arabia was, the White House had no coherent answer.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy noted “ultimately, we get back from this trip. There’s no new peace talks in the Middle East. There’s no new commitment to increase oil production in the Gulf.”
Doocy continued, “Why not insist on a commitment, though? He gets back without a commitment and the price of oil per barrel shot up? Is that what the President wanted? To go there and have the price of oil more expensive?”

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also attempted to claim gas prices have gone down, to which Doocy replied “Aren’t they still $2 per gallon higher than when you took office though?”

Shameful and embarrassing.

Elon Musk Quietly Dumps A Massive $6.9 Billion In Tesla Shares

Remember way back in April 2013 when Elon Musk vowed at the Tesla annual shareholders meeting that “just as my money was the first in, it will be the last out.” No? Good, because fast forwarding to Tuesday night, we learned that Musk just took 6.9 billion steps to be among the first to get the hell out of Dodge.
Forgot to say one thing at Tesla annual shareholders meeting: just as my money was the first in, it will be the last out.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2013
According to four Form 4 filings filed late on Tuesday night, Elon Musk sold a total of 7.92 billion (or $6.9 billion) of shares in Tesla, the first time he has sold stock in the carmaker since April, when he was allegedly selling TSLA shares to help him “fund” the Twitter acquisition… for which he dropped his bid shortly after, almost as if the TWTR deal was just a pretext.
According to the new filings, Musk dumped the shares on Aug. 5, the day when TSLA stocks tumbled some 8%.

The sale took place shortly after Musk’s latest taunt to shorts, who it appears were right – judging by Musk’s own sale – but were squeezed nonetheless.
Heatwave in Shortville 🥵

With the latest sale, Musk has now sold around $32 billion worth of TSLA stock in the past 10 months.
Tesla’s stock slumped late last year as Musk offloaded more than $16 billion worth of shares, his first sales in more than five years. The disposals started in November after Musk polled Twitter users on whether he should trim his stake.
The shares have risen about 35% from its recent lows in May. Some have noted how every time Musk dumps a boatload of stock, an unexplained gamma squeeze kicks in just before the sale, affording Musk a far higher sale price.
Crazy how $TSLA gamma squeezes 30-50% everytime right before he dumps billions…

Luckiest guy ever.
It is surely also a coincidence, that just as Musk was about to dump his shares, a massive burst of retail buying emerged in recent weeks, which it is safe to say, spilled over into meme stonks and forced the latest WallStreetBets short squeeze. As a reminder, last Wednesday we wrote that “Explosion In Retail Buying Revealed As Source Of Latest Tesla Stock Surge.” Perhaps some regulator will finally look into this.

Of course, there is a less sinister explanation: Musk and Twitter have reached a settlement agreement, and Musk was quietly prefunding the balance of his purchase commitments, which means that Twitter employees are about to have a very unpleasant night. Then again, if not one can add this latest Tesla mega-dump to the long list of bizarre events Musk will have to explain in court in a few months…

“Anything But A Cashless Society”: Physical Money Makes Comeback As UK Households Battle Inflation
Published

10 August, 2022Zero Hedge

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been pushing hard for a ‘cashless society’ in a post-pandemic world, though physical money has made a comeback in at least one European country as consumers increasingly use notes and coins to help them balance household budgets amid an inflationary storm.
Britain’s Post Office released a report Monday that revealed even though the recent accelerated use of cards and digital payments on smartphones, demand for cash surged this summer, according to The Guardian. It said branches handled £801mln in personal cash withdrawals in July, an increase of 8% over June. The yearly change on last month’s figures was up 20% versus the July 2021 figure of £665mln.
Across the Post Office’s 11,500 branches, £3.31bln in cash was deposited and withdrawn in July — a record high for any month dating back over three centuries of operations.
The report pointed out that increasing physical cash demand was primarily due to more people managing their budgets via notes and coins on a “day-by-day basis.” It said some withdrawals were from vacationers needing cash for “staycations” in the UK. About 600,000 cash payouts totaling £90mln were from people who received power bill support from the government, the Post Office noted.
Britain is “anything but a cashless society,” according to the Post Office’s banking director Martin Kearsley.
“We’re seeing more and more people increasingly reliant on cash as the tried and tested way to manage a budget. Whether that’s for a staycation in the UK or if it’s to help prepare for financial pressures expected in the autumn, cash access in every community is critical,” Kearsley said.
We noted in February 2021, UK’s largest ATM network saw plummeting demand as consumers reduced cash usage. At the time, we asked this question: “How long will the desire for good old-fashioned bank notes last?
… and the answer is not long per the Post Office’s new report as The Guardian explains: “inflation going up and many bills expected to rise further – has led a growing numbers of people to turn once again to cash to help them plan their spending.”
So much for WEF, central banks, and major corporations pushing for cashless societies worldwide, more importantly, trying to usher in a hyper-centralized CBDC dystopia. With physical cash back in style in the UK, the move towards a cashless society could be a much more challenging task for elites than previously thought.

It’s going ahead despite violating a labor law which states the temperature can be no higher than 25°C.
