Who is going to pay for subsidized oil?

Column

Trump made the news... again. (He does so every day.)

This time he decided to spend billions of dollars to lower the oil prices. Maga rejoice!

But... who is going to pay the bill? Not him, that's for sure!

Series Review + HBO Max + Lanterns

Does HBO still exist? And do they actually still make decent series? And besides that... is anything coming out of the DC catacombs any good?
