Oh, I was thinking it could be two interlocking ones to represent the computer and the user sides of the icon

While also opening up options for U.S. oil producers, who have been squeezed by OPECs low price levels. Maybe fewer U.S. oil and gas bankruptcies this year and considerably higher prices at the pump. It’s like magic tariffs all over again.
