Obviously we understand that the global demand for oil of 2019 may not recover due to a strong trend of the green economy. This is good, and we have to get prepared. We have already made first steps from the viewpoint of the tax maneuver.

Buy hard assets of ACTUAL value, rather than saving up this worthless paper. better to be poor in the bank, and rich in the real world. better get your hands on a reliable, easy to repair vehicle, and spare parts. anyone who buys a tesla (or any modern car with no reliability history) right now is a FUCKING MORON.
