usually i give links but you need to research this one.
look up how much oil will cost this summer. i dare you.
every projection has to guess about a number of things.
check just one for me. when’s the hormuz straight open?
most of the v worst projections out now guess <3 weeks.
do /you/ think trump will have this sorted out by then?
if it’s not opened by then, crude won’t make it in time
before we are out of gas - while nothing is being done.
the ships will take a month after they leave to arrive.
also prices are being lowered artificially, not raised.
we are running towards a cliff and nobody seems to see.
look up how much oil will cost this summer and know the
price you see isn’t what needs to scare you - it’s that
that price is a dream built only on hope for resolution
to the closing of the straight in the next three weeks.
