I HOPE IM WRONG

But I don't think any deal is reached with jet fuel at $200/barrel and poised to go significantly higher. Americans and the market right now are extremely complacent about what's coming if this middle east crisis is not resolved very soon.

It will be the greatest energy crisis of our generation. One for the history books. And we are all sleep walking right into it.

If 20% of the world's Oil, Gas, and Fertilizer supply remains offline a pilot contract will be among the LEAST of our worries.

PREPARE YOURSELVES

Sounds like the pilot member of the BOD needs the same.

one of the thorns in the side of warren buffett for years has been corporate board members not being pit bulls like they should be, but rather lap dogs.

I'm still waiting for the Second Great Depression, bankruptcies and massive furloughs we were promised from the tariffs last year.

Most of the tariffs were cancelled, rolled back or deemed illegal.

While I'm certainly pessimistic about the next year considering what has happened in the last month, I feel like his post is incredibly hysterical

Which generation? Some of the posters here sat in gas lines longer than EV charging times.

Venezuela can match Iran's output in 18 months. Bypass routes for gulf state oil can currently cover 30 percent of the Hormuz volume. We all hear "20% of worlds oil...." but the real impact is smaller due to alternatives. This could be the beginning of a long term reshaping of global energy trade.
