The former President lays down the law on oil prices, or else... someone's playing into the enemy's hands. This is the Way, apparently.

I Have Spoken: Oil Must Be Cheap!

This is the Mando. A transmission came across the comms today – not from the Armorer but from… well someone named Trump. Claims to be a former leader or something. Apparently he issued a decree via something called 'Truth Social.' Sounds like a cantina brawl waiting to happen. Anyway he says "EVERYONE KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!" Says the oil's gotta be cheap. Or else... something something 'enemy.'

Beskar vs. Barrel: The Price of Fuel

Now I've seen a Jawa pull apart a landspeeder faster than these oil prices fluctuate. Apparently U.S. crude dropped a bit after this pronouncement. Not sure if it’s fear or just market forces. I'm no economist I'm a Mandalorian and I know very little about this. But a bounty hunter needs fuel for the *Razor Crest* (RIP) so I’m all for it if it means I can fill the tank without selling my Beskar armor.

Blasting Sites: When Oil Meets Lasers

Apparently the U.S. did some… rearranging… at some Iranian nuclear sites. This puts the world on edge that the Islamic Republic might target energy supplies in the Middle East. These events don't seem to phase anyone though and the prices are stable says this news report. This is the way.

Drill Baby Drill! Is That the Motto?

This Trump fella then went on to shout on his 'Truth Social' thing: “To The Department of Energy: DRILL BABY DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” He sounds like Peli Motto when she's trying to fix my ship. But apparently the Department of Energy doesn't actually drill for oil. So who's gonna tell him? Someone get him a Mythosaur egg maybe that'll distract him.

The Market Awakens: Oil Edition

The news scribes say that the oil market isn't all that worried about the pew pew lasers. Futures are steady. Brent Crude did a little jump but nothing too crazy. It seems like everyone wants cheap oil but nobody really knows how to get it – except maybe this Trump guy with his 'Truth Social' magic.

I'm a Mandalorian. Oil Prices are Confusing.

I'm just a simple Mando making my way through the galaxy. Figuring out who to blast for cash is way easier than understanding oil prices. All I know is if this 'Trump' keeps the fuel cheap I might just send him a Mudhorn egg as a thank you. I have spoken.
