If you buy from a country that is deliberately flooding the market in order to kill the competition you are a willing partner..
It is probably a little more involved than that.
If a flooding was taking place there would be 'boycotts' but all the oil they are producing has a buyer, just like when prices were at their highest. Lets imagine that the oil companies are the ones calling the shots and the headlines are their approved publications. If Saudi was money hungry (and they are hemorrhaging money for two reasons, they are paying cash for a stalemate war and income for other services are cutting into the funds needed for all the wars they seem to have gotten themselves involved in.)
I left Ontario after there was no longer a point in staying. I worked in Alberta and shipped my money back to Ontario and invested in its economy along with a lot of other migrant workers who couldn't find a job that paid the bills. .
My eyes just narrowed a bit until I remembered the equalization payments and I just mark 'figures' in the comment box and go along my way knowing it is what it is. That is less unkind than leading me down a few blind alleys and hoping I never find out but then looking at the history of the place it is just like a little Europe and just as confused as per their homelands are even today, 100 years after they fell into chaos.

Fuel Haulers in Ontario get paid squat and that is why I left. Couple that with the ridiculous taxation, the corruption and the gouging it became more economical to sell my house and move to Alberta rather than flying home every six weeks.
What goodies do you take on your travels? Sturdy plastic travel mugs are gifts the Elders would like and they are the ones you want to please. I gave mine away to our guide when the program was finished and the next day he gave me a pair of his 'mittens', good way to to part ways. He said the kids like the dollar store bright colors so now you can run you own black market traveling circus. There is enough traffic there that there should be a network that should be capable of delivering broadband internet in the winter and broadband local community in the summer
I assume satellite radio would work for listening only and ham radio for interactive-voice-video-data.
They are out to kill Russia, we have to take it on the chin.
When Russia is destroyed economically, Canada will step in.
A couple weeks back we (Canadian Govt) had a whopping 77oz left to sell off.
By now we more than likely don't have any
So far we have been benevolent by trying not to harm the people of Russia but pummeling the oligarchs.
Okay chicken little, simmer down, you are at page 10 levels already.
You mean what is left of us don't you?
Gold in the ground can now be used as collateral. All the tailing piles in the Yukon have gold that is now recoverable at a profitable rate so the recovery rate is known before the pile starts to be mined. What isn't factored in is the rate of recovery for the material that is suctioned off the bedrock as that should be where the best recovery is from. Known reserves is money in the bank these days. I'm pretty sure the Alaska Gold TV show is a preview of how the recovery will go as far as being the proto for upgraded dredges. Old tailings in front and prime wilderness parks behind with natural caves for the wilderness tourist that would be the final use of the land. Sculpt the creeks to trap the gold in accessible places for a yearly clean-out by the tourists.
