>Imagine thinking the world is America
It literally is though. America gets to decide pretty much everything and everyone else has to shut up.

Inflation/"high" rates are also eating away at commodity companies. They are being saved only by the grace of manipulation of oil prices.
Had we been reasonable and not restrained this insanely abundant supply like idiots, oil would be trading at far lower prices. Fuckin hate this world.
If the meme of "finding new hydrocarbons becomes more difficult" and "higher for longer" becomes true, commodity companies will find themselves in quite the tricky position. But then, they will probably manipulate the market even more to jack up prices so we get to pay $10/gallon for gas, hooray. The future sure looks bright.
Still, the demand destruction meme has been debunked, China is fine, the US is doing better than ever. I am honestly not sure oil is ever gonna go below 80 again.
Fugg I hate commodities. So unpredictable and so easily subject to manipulation. Stocks are easy compared to this crap

Come on brooooooo. The smart money is going into growth, not some shiny rocks (I say that as someone whose portfolio largely consists of gold and copper and doing quite well)

>impending oversupply of tradespeople
My asssss. There are already far too many of these scammers here in Europe. Overcharging as fugg because people nowadays can't even google how to disconnect a simple washing machine.
Unless you are really good at programming, I don't see why you wouldn't simply go into trades. Easy as fuck, short work hours, paid better than engineering. Only very very few trades actually are kind of "backbreaking" so even weaklings can do most trades without a problem.
