That's literally stocking up dumb dumb. Nazis are pretty good at logistics, did you miss that class?
We already have the strategic oil reserve. "Stocking" implies that we are currently building up our surplus beyond past levels, which is not happening
Hilariously enough I worked in logistics for years.
How best is a strategic reserve defined? A stockpile. When a reserve has been reduced and must be returned to nominal levels that's called stockpiling. Just an fyi our reserves are not at all full so we are in fact stockpiling.
Doing something and doing something competently are two separate things.
This might make sense if the sentence I was replying to wasn't
Which is not occurring.
That's quite literally what the strategic reserve is for.

I think you should have a good long think with yourself about the very personal meaning this statement should have for you
Numbers back up my position, they don't however support yours.
Good luck with the overly confident idiocy bud.
I love that you always wish me luck 😘😘❤️❤️
Idiots love praise and shiny things and I don't trust you with objects smaller then your fist.
I don't care lol
Uh huh and when this conversation is 30+ comments long including you saying crazy bigoted shit you'll say the same lie to yourself and it will be just as idiotic as every time before it.
It never will be that though.
What? Supported by general logic and a basic understanding of the English language?
