It really does seem to be 4th grade math. Oil demand > oil supply, after all the kinks are worked out (strategic reserve releases used up, oil en route from the Gulf as late as Feb 28 is absorbed into the system, etc…). Give it 2 months and you’ll see noticeable price increases, shortages, and required cuts to demand which will be bad for the economy.

I think it's coming but the severity is TBD. We made it through the 1970s and we will make it through this. This is why little Peter double tapped drug boats in the gulf of America. We will see sources and production shifts if the strait stays closed.
