if shit is about to hit the fan with the prices because high oil prices break things, how come:>no preppers>no panicians/doomsayers on the streets>there is still toilet paper on the supermarket shelves>commodities are pretty much up across the board (except from orange juice) but food prices remain more or less the same (the muh fertilizers thing, maybe every single supermarket is just stocked up for weeks?)>fuel is up a little bit and that's itI know, the stonk market and the normies have no correlation, but at least there should be 1 person freaking out over ww3 or some bullshit going on with MSM, right? Am i missing something? Have you seen any preppers or panicians?
>>61949528it takes time for things to work their way through the economy. how long did it take for massive inflation to hit after they printed trillions of dollars out of thin air with enhanced unemployment gibs, paycheck protection plan gibs, etc.?
>>61949558yeah, that's right, like when the FED was talking about the tariff effects like 6 months after the tariffs were implemented. I'm just surprised i haven't seen a covid tier reaction on the normies freaking out stuff like toilet paper. Or people paranoid about a countrywide power grid shutdown. At least not over here.
>>61949573like 80% of the country are barely sentient nigger cattle retards. running out of paper to wipe their fat stinking ass is more easily grasped/understood by their subhuman niggerbrain than something like oil prices driving up the cost of everything.
>>61949528because the war has no apparent effect on americans and they've been trained like dogs to act numb towards middle east warsexcept this one has profound impact on energy prices and is a part of a wider interventionist stance going into a new fed regimejust from a market point of view there are so many things that could go wrong and I think smart people are figuring out in real time that given what has already unfolded it is very easy to see a slide into a worst case scenario from here (market crash, inflation, private credit + AI bubble etc)
>>61949583>>61949601so normies are trained to react to *insert current thing* only when they are told to do so? that's kind of sad
>>61949601hopefully the CIA takes care of the problem like they did back in '63
TikTok brainI was talking about iran with some girl and she said "wasnt that last week? Who cares?"It reminds me of pre 9/11 where most people are totally clueless
>>61949528Because shit isn't about to his the fan. It's that simple. What, do you think Iran is going to muster up the courage to invade the US or something? You think they'll pull off a 9/11 v2?The scariest thing they can do is fuck with oil production in the middle east by attacking other people's refineries and make themselves the enemy of the world. Or they can fuck with the supply chain of oil.Basically none of that affects the US outside of rising oil prices. But that just means we get to profit from selling our own oil, and the citizens don't have to pay for the increase of oil because we have our own reserves, refiners and oil mining operations.It's literally a win win scenario for the US. It'll kinda suck for some of Europe and Asia.The only sort of REAL scary thing would be Russia or China stepping in to physically defend Iran. But that's less than a 1% chance. Otherwise it's a fucking nothingburger of astronomical proportions for most of the western world.
>>61949643It's this, plus we print money which flows into crypto
I normally hate doom and gloom but after the past few months I actually hope it's all falling apart. Fuck this gay earth
>>61949643gasoline prices are up about 20% month on month. it's a global market. the president can't prevent US companies from selling on the global market. US oil producers have no legal imperative to offer US businesses and US citizens preferential prices. we also import oil from canada and mexico. they have no incentive to offer preferential prices to US customers.>The scariest thing they can do is fuck with oil production in the middle eastthey can continue to launch drones at refineries. they take years to rebuild.
>>61949669you're responding to this news' equivalent of "other countries pay the tariffs" from april of last yearI wouldn't bother
>>61949681if the country ever economically collapses from the weight of these retarded kike proxy wars i'm going to collect the spinal cords of subhuman niggers like him.
>>61949692sadly chaim and friends will get that pleasure since his kind will be first in line to go defend their heeb colony
>>61949643You niggers do understand that goods are transported all over the US and that some of that transport uses oil, right? You understand that means the prices of goods across the board will rise, right?
>>61949669Oil is up 40% and gas is up 20%? Gas is literally up 10% around me. Even the little habibi stores are only up 10% and with the stupid little refunds most gas stations offer it's less than 10%.But, anyway, you're proving the point I'm making with that. If oil is up 40% and gas is only up 20%, that's the very definition of the US citizens not having to pay for the increase. Use your brain.>they can continue to launch drones at refineries.Damn. They can blow up the refineries own by the other middle eastern countries? How does that affect the US? We have our own oil refineries. Use your brain. All these things do is increase the price of oil. And the US has one of the world's largest oil reserves. And the literal largest oil producer in the world is the US.So again, tell me, how does this hurt us? They're literally making our own oil more expensive, ohh nooo. Not only that we buy the majority of our oil from Canada and Mexico. So, again. How does this hurt us?
>>61949681If they didnt pay the tarrifs then why are they asking for refunds?
>>61949726https://gasprices.aaa.com/again, niggershit for brains, it is a global market.
>>61949726Because US companies wont give US citizens differential prices. They’ll sell to the highest bidder
>>61949601idc. Just pump the stock market.
>>61949634Yikes
>>61949528At this point I've been trained to believe in the TACO. But idk it depends on the Israelis at this point Rubio already said the quiet part out loud. I don't see how if gas prices continue to rise we aren't going to be due for a HUGE correction
