I don't drive as much as I used to. 6500 miles/yr. I go nowhere until I have to go everywhere; then things settle down. On a recent trip it was $4.669 for premium. This Exxon photo is of my bellwether gas station in metro-Charlotte, NC, area. It's up a buck/gal. here in five weeks.

Has anyone at the White House explained to Trump the purpose of NATO ? It's not to indulge a deranged old draft-dodger in military adventures overseas when they have no discernible objective, no exit plan and insufficient ground troops. Gas prices are soaring as a direct result of his stupidity.

Countries that have condemned Trump’s attack on Iran as a violation of international law are able to navigate the Strait of Hormuz. The Pakistani tanker is a prime example. There’s no way this is a gift to Trump.

Pretty sure the Strait isn't fully closed—shipping data still shows some tankers passing through. Iran’s actions are disruptive, but a total closure would be a much bigger global story. Any source for “closed”?

AND FORBES HELPED MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN. THAT IS NOT DENIABLE. THE ENTIRE US MEDIA LANDSCAPE AND THE OLIGARCHS WHO CAPTURED IT OWN A LARGE PART OF THE BLAME FOR THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY, FREEDOMS, ELECTORAL PROCESSES AND ECONOMY. THE OLIGARCHY MUST DIE. IT IS A SURVIVAL IMPERATIVE.

Yesterday in France the gas price was equivalent to $8.74 a gallon (2 euros a liter) when it is normally "only" $7 to 7.50 a gallon (1.60 to 1.70 a liter). It's why the cars here are all way more fuel efficient. Maybe this will bring fuel efficiency back to the US.

Fucking 🍊🤡. USA loses by not winning, Iran wins by not losing. We’ve already lost. Another national humiliation at the hands of Trump. Fucking 🍊🤡. Tired of winning yet?

USians seem oblivious to the damage Operation Epstein is doing to people in other countries. Not that their credibility was high to begin with but this is going to do some serious damage to their credibility long term.

Diesel 50% more expensive than gasoline. There is a rumour going around that some big semi-trailer trucks, heavy equipment, and even "clean" diesel cars and SUV's (VW?) run on diesel. What's "clean coal" going for, by the way?

How soon until gas lines in the United States. How soon until being able to get gas every other day based on the las number on your license plate? Donald Trump has become Jimmy Carter without the ethics.

Everyone should just switch to an EV. As long you don’t need a 3 row car the payments on a used EV will be less than your gas bill. I am tired of people saying they can’t afford an EV. Yes you can!

But it's Friday, so if you are an active stock trader, I'd be seriously thinking about what would benefit rich people during a war and make that trade because as sure as I'm typing this, Trump will do something to manipulate the market...again...only it will be after the markets close.

The lack of coverage of the two major Russian Oil ports being on fire via Ukraine Drones is interesting. The world oil supply is being permanently taken offline. This is what happens when rich people lacking any Merit or Reason are given control. Remember Remember.

Lot's of guess work at the shit show the world elites are creating in this moment. Netanyahu did state again that he wants all GCC nations to pipe their oil through to Israeli ports, and they do want to dig a competitor to the Suez. Two things that would give them control over geopolitics.
