    The fossil fuels economy is so last century.

    Humans are still burning things to power things. Seems like we could have evolved more.

  2. How funny it will be if Trump and his merry band of regressives actually accelerate the adoption of renewables and EV’s.

  3. When the “prices are going to come way down when this is all over” fails, I’m curious to see what the next pivot will be.

    Probably more “Be a good Patriot and accept this pain for a better future” nonsense. This has basically been a hallmark for Trump’s entire term.

  4. Yet you hear from MAGA “Don’t worry dear leader told us it’s only temporary.” Funny how prices don’t matter to them now.

    I would love to see that every citizen suffering financial damages as a result from “Trump’s War” would send a claim for a refund directly to the White House. Not just US citizens but from all over the world. Not that I expect them to be honoured but a couple of hundred million letters sent would give off a pretty solid signal that the world is utterly fed up with this lunatic running his asylum administration and action should be taken to stop this madman.

    Although I do wonder whether any international laws exist with which countries could claim damages from another country.

    One more thing that is backfired on this dumbass. Gas prices high = China sells way more EVs in Canada South America Asia and Europe.

    American consumer is the biggest loser.

  7. Not to mention the huge amount of Natural gas and helium infrastructure that has been destroyed. We’re going to be in for so much winning it’ll be crazy……

    Where can I buy “I did this!” stickers with Trump’s face? I want to start putting them on gas pumps.

  9. How long before we start seeing nostalgic videos of “look how nice life was before March 2026…”

  10. The inflation reports the next few quarters are going to be bad. Combined with a slowing economy and no job growth you’ve you stagflation…

    Why electing a felon, confirmed rapist, confirmed pedophile, confirmed child rapist, failed businessman, and reality tv show host to be President was a bad idea. I know they say disabled or mentally challenged people can do anything and I agree. I just dont think they should be President. Very doubtful Trump could pass the 6th grade if he pulled a Billy Madison

    If you’re looking for a silver lining then I imagine this will help speed the adoption of electric vehicles?

  13. **looks at gas prices*

    Anyone wanna meet up and go burn the whitehouse again? Seriously, jokes aside, so sick of the US governments action affecting the rest of us.

  14. That’s a weird way to make the case for EVs.

    Specially coming from “windmills cause cancer” Trump…

    >Goldman Sachs says we’ll be in the triple digits for years

    $999 is still only 3 digits. Just sayin’!

    You know, it’s a real good thing we cut all those EPA standards for fuel economy, emissions, and investments into renewables. What could go wrong?

  17. Worldwide stagflation incoming.

    Which will ultimately lead to a world war.

    Thanks to Donald Trump and all you people who voted for him.

    Thanks to the short-sighted dictator club, the damage on the ground already even if the war ended yesterday is profound and will last for a minimum of 3-5 years to inflate oil prices and cause tens to hundreds of millions to starve and suffer malnutrition from fertilizer disruption and various knock-on effects. Gulf states were told it would be a 100 hour or so special military operation. Un-hunh.

    Both this and the Summer attacks have failed to materially change the nonexistent nuclear weapons program in Iran other than sealing up sites where it could happen-there is no actual prize to the world or even to the US for this action. I remember an internal debate on the American Conservative website about Trump tearing up the Iran deal in an orgy of what was probably more wiping out a black man’s legacy at any price than any sane decision. The resultant radicalization of Iran imho directly led to the type of elected leaders who would unleash proxies on Israel and even the initial Gaza attack. Ordnance in the absence of any coherent plan other than creating a failed state cannot actually solve previous policy disasters. There’s almost nothing but examples of that in history.

    Both of my vehicles are EV’s. I haven’t looked at gas in more than a decade. EV’s are better, cheaper, and easier to maintain than a gas car. I highly recommend people consider getting at least one EV in their household for affordability.

  20. The good news is we’ll probably all lose our jobs so we won’t even need to buy gas

    Well, yea that’s how business works. You think lumber prices went back down after Covid? These fuckers aren’t going to grow a heart when things are better.

    They’re going to buy another yacht.

    It’s going to take Dems 2 presidential terms just unfuck how badly America is fucked right now, just in time for another Republican president to fuck it all up again.

  23. Crazy-Nights on

    All this crap we’ve been dealing with over the last year is 100% self inflicted. Literally none of it would be going on if voters had just picked Harris.

  24. Gotta pay the price for having dumb af population who voted for that shit. Twice.

  25. This is highly unlikely as the USAs Navy says it can start escorting ships next month. So that Iraq oil will be back on the market.

    That said, I still strongly recommend people invest in solar and electric cars

  26. There are no good options for Trump. Theere is no regilme change coming as it is an the straits are closed. THe USA has no short term ability to keep the straits open.

    1) De escalate – this means concessions to Iran like removing US bases or payments to Iran. Political suicide

    2) Escalate – Destroy most oil infrastructure. Strait doesnt matter anymore.

    3) Wait – Until what? Trillions are wasted?

    Trumps first error was killing Iran’s Supreme Leader. Now all options are bad.

  27. nvmenotfound on

    all this bc republicans are too scared to impeach him and stop being his fart sniffing compliment squad. 

  28. The first year is due to the Trump war, the rest are because oil companies are greedy.
