Should we be concerned for our future?

And just to make matters worse.

Canada, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia In the order of oil producers we import from for the last several months. I've already seen 3.99 gas today, up 20c in a couple days. Speculation oil may hit 150$ a barrel. Yup, we should be worried.

American probably tried to file for bankruptcy today, but found out the courts were closed for the Holiday.

Settle down, we will be fine. It's just the war version of the bad flu. Will all be gone by Easter.

3.99? Wow, that cheap. I haven't seen prices that low since 2020.

I wouldn’t worry. We still have a ton of US oil leases and Keystone XL. We are on our way to energy independence.

Once the price goes up the Frackers turn the spigots back on and bring it back down real quick! Drill baby drill!

Not worried. Still not getting my house in order.

Bend over...

It's coming to a screeching halt. Everything is.

Despite what the MSM, CIA, RINOs, and the former party of peace and tolerance want you to believe, Russia only has an interest in the ethnically Russian areas of Ukraine. This non-sense has been going on since 2014 when the CIA successfully supported a "student" revolution that removed the Ukrainian president and installed "our" guy. (They also tried to do the same thing to ethnically Russian areas of Georgia in 2008, but the Russians managed to put that one down.) Once that happened war broke out in the Eastern areas of Ukraine that lead to an unofficial Russian intervention (again, not like the CIA has never done the same thing). During that intervention the Russians shot down MH17. There has been a "ceasefire" for some time now, but they have been basically been at war ever since 2014.

Back to today. Over the weekend the Russian supported rebel forces in Eastern Ukraine said they were going to start fighting again, and I think today Russia officially recognized the breakaway regions. Vlad knows he has the west by the balls because we keep electing leftist politicians who don't understand physics or reality, and go "green" by enriching tyrants (such as Vlad himself) in places that don't exist because the the T.V hasn't told us about them. You are about to start paying for your ESG scores and all that non-sense. TBH, we need something like oil at $150/barrel and the Starbucks groupies to not be able to afford their lattes anymore to wake this country up. This is the only thing that will do it. Too many of us grew up in too much comfort, ignorance, and insulation from reality. Best to get it over with now.

Well, that’s just like your opinion, man.
