COVID, Putin, Trump. The world can’t catch a break while the billionaires sit, surrounded by security, drinking champagne.

Anything that makes the midterms more of a (metaphorical) bloodbath.

According to FoxNews, he was right over ALL the brain smart people and the short term (for the next 20 years) hurts will be worth it in the long run!! (only for them, none for us, we are SOL, send help!)

Trump doesn’t give a shit if prices rise. That’s a problem for “common people” to deal with. He’s never had to worry about money or prices in his life so he really has no concept of the struggle the common person goes through.

Ngl but Half of all Americans caused this shxt worldwide. They voted for a stupid immoral pedophile and criminal to be their President

And yet he persists in promising *more* punishment, because he can and it makes him feel tough. He’s holding the world hostage with vague threats about invasions and even nuclear options. This planetary instability should be enough to get him out. Instead, we’re in for a long, hot summer.

$120 a barrel now? My gas bill is gonna eat my whole paycheck. This is insane.

Well this will accelerate the move away from fossil fuels globally.
In a lot of ways he is doing the fight against climate change a lot of favours.

Israel can be thanked for striking Iranian oil depot and desalination plant. Those were off limits before. Once hit it’s a dangerous escalation.
We’re also at $100 fluctuating oil now because of it, which might run to $110 or $120.

Love seeing the smug EV drivers and solar panel users acting as if they are dodging this problem. Unless you grow your own food and never buy anything from anywhere, this is going to impact you in one way or another. I think the food prices will be the most painful, but we should expect to see a lot of pain at the gas pumps in an era where RTO remains largely unnecessary.

I thought he was going to just destroy the Republican party.
Then I thought he was going to destroy our international relationships and economy.
Now I’m pretty sure he’s going to end up killing us all.

Why does everyone keeps complaining about oil prices? To achieve world peace these are the things you should sacrifice. World peace cost a lot more than a few dollars of oil

He’s managed to shit on the only true accomplishment he had, which was slightly lower gas prices. What a demented, fucking douche.

>Finance ministers from the Group of Seven, a collection of the world’s seven wealthiest nations, plan to meet on Monday to discuss a possible joint release of their emergency oil reserves in an effort to lower prices, Reuters [reports](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/governments-scramble-limit-fallout-iran-war-oil-prices-surge-2026-03-09/). South Korea also plans to cap fuel prices for the first time in close to 30 years.
