this is on top of an announcement from another tech company in the region, micron, which said earlier this week it will spend $100 billion on a new plant in upstate new york. that is the good news that the president is trying to ride high into the midterms, which are 33 days away now. the not so good news, which republicans are seizing on, and democrats aren t too happen about either is opec plus s announcement to cut oil production, led by saudi arabia and russia. the cartel is taking 2 million barrels off the market a day, starting in november. that s 2% of the global oil production. now, while the united states is somewhat shielded from a price increase, because the white house has been tapping into the country s strategic oil reserves, the rest of the world is not, and prices are already climbing. beyond prices though, there is also political fallout, as we told you yesterday, the cut in production could have the effect of helping russia fund its war in ukraine. neutraliz
