It's a vague reference to the thermometer that is oil. When the next oil crisis arrives, consumers will sell off the trucks and SUV and buy subcompacts instead.
Those in the auto industry who fail to adapt, as GM did regarding oil saturation, will suffer similar fates.
I'm reporting on the gofundme, "We The People Will Fund The Wall": -- The gofundme crowdsourcing page is at 14 million dollars at this writing (12/21/2018 @ 11:24 PM CST), contributed by 227,989 people over 5 days.
Doing a linear extrapolation, it will take 357 days to reach the goal of 1 billion dollars, and 16.4 million people . That's fuzzy math because the sample size is very small. So far, the average donation is $61.40. Gofundme gets 2.9% of the total funds raised plus 30 cents per donation. That's $29,000,000 plus (assuming 16.4 million donations) $4,920,000 for a total of $33,920,000. -- 12-29-2018, 11:04 AM

Yo, Captain Obvious:
You should be asking states why they're not dealing with those problems. They ARE state problems after all.
The states are not asking for a wall.
The small, rabid, batshit crazy Trump core doesn't live on the border.
Those were poor under-educated Evangelical White women in the rust belt.
Border states depend on immigrant labour. Don't fuck with that economy.
Really. It's gonna take 21.5 billion to build the Great Wall of Stupid People.
5.7 billion wouldn't pay for lunch of the undocumented workers.
When I was in the Navy I actually liked the shutdowns. I had enough saved that I could keep on cruising and BOOM!
Big pay check.
The people who arrest other people are on strike, going without pay, in support of the wall. /s
Another good question would be: What the simple fuck does this have to do with the goddam topic?
Weak argument.
You're off topic.
Bring Hitler in next, OK?
China is fed up with the US and is in a position to go out on its own and replace America as the world's leader.
China doesn't give a rat's ass about IP any more than US businesses care about doing business in the US.
You insensitive clod.
I came here to say just that.
You assume what I'm assuming.
Bullshit.
Lobbyists don't buy voters. They buy politicians while in office.
Officials whose constituents feel strongly about an issue win over lobbyists every time there's a vote.
... and Grindr is immune to product liability by way of data breach.
The best way to win is to not play.
... that's kinda obvious. Given that it's dead, might as well play by the rules mandated by the American people.
I supported net neutrality, but my vote doesn't always go my way. When I lose, I play by the new rules.
... that's what's behind the time-savers like food and grocery deliveries and, recently, robotic snack deliveries of snacks on campus.

This.

I think you might want to look up ...
We're /. We don't usury look shit up.
Apple does not require all apps to go through the iTunes store. I have plenty of apps on my iPhone and not one goddam instance of iTunes anywhere.
"Cold" war, you insensitive clod? Goddam global warming denier.
Russians have very little modernity.
... ripped off, so now it's landlines, fax machines and human spies.
Well, it doesn't need a command mode, or as we say in the biz, a commode.
... Facebook.

So, good luck with that shit.
In America, what you see is what you get.
Apparently, America does not want a wall. It's not just Democrats. Republicans are not 100% on board.
Appreciate that politicians are effective at only one thing: Survival.
So, the reason there's not enough support for the wall is that constituents will kick out those who support it.
Trump's core is actually very tiny, like his hands.
Kinda like Trump ...
I'm 73 years old, OK?
Don't tell me about Bill Gates. I was there.
