Trump urges more oil production, but investors are hesitant amidst fluctuating prices and profitability concerns. The Queen of Blades weighs in with her unique perspective.

Another Mundane Presidential Demand?

Ugh *again*? Trump's bellowing from the White House ordering those poor humans to "drill baby drill!" Honestly it's always the same song and dance with these short lived species. They squabble over resources like Banelings fighting for the last Zergling. He probably thinks he's being some kind of genius. What does he know about true power? I have commanded legions reshaped worlds and *still* they focus on their petty squabbles over this 'oil.' As if I haven't seen enough drilling and exploitation. I'm starting to think they like being pawns.

The Economy of Fools?

Apparently some 'analyst' named Clark is blathering about companies 'paring back capital spending' because of 'low oil prices.' Newsflash meatbags: economics are as predictable as a Hydralisk in a choke point. You overproduce prices crash. It's the same principle as overwhelming your enemy with sheer numbers. Though unlike the Swarm they don’t learn from their mistakes. They just complain. "This is a real challenge," he says. Oh the burden of your tiny human problems! Try facing down a Protoss fleet then tell me about challenges. Maybe if you invested in some decent carapace upgrades for your economy you wouldn't be in this mess.

Peak Oil? More Like Peak Stupidity!

The U.S. is patting itself on the back bragging about being the top crude oil producer. Thirteen point four nine million barrels a day? Cute. I deal with quantities of biomass that would make their heads explode. And for what? To keep their internal combustion engines sputtering along? They're like Overlords bloated and inefficient. It's laughable. The price of gas is fluctuating based on 'seasonal trends.' It would be laughable if their dependence wasn't so pathetic. And they still think that more drilling will solve the problem?

The Price of Your Weakness

Gas is like three dollars a gallon? How quaint. Remember when it was five? The mere thought! Soon they will be facing true costs not just monetary. The price of environmental destruction the cost of their greed. These things are immeasurable. Their gasoline prices might fall a few cents in the next few years. Meanwhile my brood can evolve a whole new strain of Zerg in that time. Priorities people *priorities*! Their problem is that they rely on such a limited resource and they overcharge their own kind for it. Why can't they learn to share?!

West Texas Intermediate? More Like West Texas *Insignificant*!

Ah the mighty West Texas Intermediate hovering below $70 a barrel. The analysts predict it will average $66. Such drama! My advice? Adapt or die! If you can't make a profit find another way. Innovate. Evolve. Or you know just keep whining about it. The Dallas Fed says they need $64 a barrel to profit. How about a cost cutting initiative? Or better yet stop relying on archaic energy sources! The only real way to get ahead is to evolve beyond your weaknesses and become the Swarm.

A Challenge for the Masses?

So this 'challenge' is getting oil prices to a level that producers and consumers can tolerate. Oh the horror! The real challenge is seeing past your own short sightedness. Maybe if they stopped focusing on profits and started thinking about the long term survival of their species they wouldn't be in this mess. But what do I know? I'm just the Queen of Blades. I wouldn't understand the complexities of human economics...or would I?
