I feel like you might be undervaluing the millions of eagles and whales that otherwise would have been lost to windmills, not to mention the surge in raw milk sales . . .
Our only hope for any kind of future is that maga disintegrates after their favorite child rapist bites the dust. I think that's possible, but not really guaranteed. It took a lot of complete idiots and evil manipulators to get us to this point. They won't disappear while the drooling red hats await the resurrection of their orange messiah.
By "our", I mean the whole world, since no one will stand up to this petulant, idiotic, man-child.
You silly Libs. This is all part of the master plan of our glorious leader. Those 3000 boats that can longer enter the Persian Gulf (Soon to be Renamed the American Gulf East™!) are perfect for us to relocated all the Palestinians as The Trump American Beach Resort, Mall and Casino (Loosest slots this side of Armageddon™!) is built. The Peace and Prosperity that the proven rapist Trump is bringing to the world will be epic!!!! There is no way they can turn down his Nobel Prize now!
The oil industry gave Trump lots of big, manly coffers stuffed with lots of big, oily million$, and probably stuffed a few offshore accounts full of moar oily money, and in return, our Supreme Presidential Being promised them an unfettered market (or is that 'unfettermanned' market?), free of competition and regulations. Our boy is BOUGHT! We are OWNED.

GOP Senator Calls Out Trump For Removing Sanctions On Russian Oil
"Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) broke with President Donald Trump on Friday, calling out his administration for removing sanctions on Russian oil as a way to bring down the price of gas that has spiked due to Trump's war in Iran.
Meanwhile, Democrats noted the decision to remove sanctions on Russia's oil is giving Moscow a windfall of $150 million each day as it continues to wage war against Ukraine.
"President Trump is offering more relief to the Kremlin than he is to American families, who are now paying more at the pump and for most other essentials because of this conflict," Sens. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) said in a joint statement."[HuffPost]
Trump, for all that he is trump, is the true face of the right/ conservatism/ republicanism. He’s supposed to be locked away in an attic where Grassley can occasionally visit him while snacking on the remains of a butter statue.
Remember those plucky 4–6% who flipped for Trump because 'The Groceries were too high' and 'The Gas was killing me,' convinced that only the big strong man could fix inflation with sheer masculine energy? Well, congratulations, patriots: your vote just delivered the mother of all energy shocks.
The Strait of Hormuz is now basically a shooting gallery thanks to the Feb. 28 fireworks display, insurance companies have noped out, tankers are backed up like rush-hour traffic in hell (3,000+ vessels, 20,000 crew members twiddling thumbs), and Iran is playing GPS jammer roulette while lobbing projectiles at anything that floats. Result? Oil futures spiking, gas up 20% in two weeks and climbing toward $100+ barrel territory, groceries inevitably following because everything gets shipped on diesel.
Pete Hegseth's helpful reminder that the strait is 'open'... just ignore the shooting, the mines, the burning shrapnel... is peak 'the highway is open, the only thing stopping you is the murder drones and land mines' energy. Chris Wright admitting the Navy isn't ready to escort anything? Chef's kiss. And the cherry on top: Trump lifted Russian sanctions, China sails through untouched, while American drivers pay the premium for this superior warfighting.
Those low-info voters who thought 'masculine penis insecurities' would be solved by bombing our way to cheaper fill-ups are now staring at pump prices that make 2022 look like a bargain-bin sale. The leopards have not only eaten their faces (I've been able to use this twice today!); they've also jacked up the price of face-replacement surgery.
Welcome to the future you ordered, folks. Hope the vibes were worth it. Next time, maybe check the fine print before trading economic stability for 'owning the libs' via global energy crisis.
This whole WarScursion, I've been waiting for The Markets to make a move. Sure, oil has gone up a lot, but nothing compared to what one would expect with the Strait of Hormuz being closed. The stock indices have drifted downwardly, but not with anything like the urgency one would have thought.
Gold and Silver haven't done much since this thing started.
It's like an enormous kennel full of dogs who just won't bark, and it's gotten me very confused.
Sending 5000 marines, or 2500, or any at all, to attack Kharg Island, though; that might do it.
No way Iran could possibly rig the whole damn thing to explode, could they. Or defend it to the last Marine.
There are about 8000 people who live there, but they're probably upping stakes as we speak, one would think. It's also loaded with antiquities, ancient ruins of civilizations going back, like, a long time. Including a 7th century Christian monastery. Other stuff that was old in Alexander the Great's time.
Plus it's the terminal for 90% of Iran's oil exports. They won't let Drunky Pete just take it. In the extremity, they'd let Marines land and blow it all up remotely. Once that blowed up real good, Iran's oil is worth a whole lot less to anybody, isn't it. How d'ya get it out to people who wanna buy it? Even Genius Secretary of Energy Chris Wright might not know how to do that quickly.
I bet Mr. Market and global investors would notice that.
Brame Klezmer! Li'l Feller and his long arm of the paw.

Yes anything you don’t grow in your own backyard will be more costly so grow a garden .
No surprise that the American experiment with dictatorship failed in about a year and without any proverbial upsides like trains running on time.

Yeah, but ivermectin is hella expensive now!!

I'm happy, however, that egg prices are down.
Fake news!

Is this his first time meeting Trump? Why is he acting surprised?
