But if 2027 is supposed to be our 1979 and already, in 2026, we have $90 a barrel, how bad can it get?

You see now?
We're in a time warp.
We always are
It's just that this generation is vibing quite a bit with late 70's and early 80's
Addicts need to hit rock bottom before they can change.
I hope to God this is true.
The generals should step in NOW and just take Trump and the rest of his administration out of power because he is a danger to humanity and the planet

Capitalism worked better when there weren't that many people on the planet. So, Trump and Putin have agreed to start World War Three and kill off all these people. They'll be safe down in their bunkers, waiting for the radiation to clear. There's nothing we can do to stop that.
That's my take.
Sleepwalking into World War Three.
I'll be there at the protest here in Tucson...if we're still alive.
There won't be any "self-inflicted damage" if there is nobody there to stop them. And they will stay a long time. We saw this in Iraq.
The rationale they use for Ukraine is they don't want NATO on their border. Why are they going to tolerate the US in Iran?
CNN is saying 60% of Americans don't like Trump's attack on Iran.
No, Speaker Johnson, it doesn't play into the hands of the enemy. It shows the enemy what democracy is about.
Russia, China and Iran

Greenland and rare earths.
Venezuela and oil.
Nigeria, a member of OPEC, was attacked.
But Iran is not about oil? Right.
Greenland was about rare earths and natural resources.
Venezuela was about oil. They even told us that.
Nigeria, a member of OPEC, was attacked.
The way he kisses up to the Saudis.
But somehow, Iran is not about oil?

If I were Iran, I would be focusing on sinking some oil tankers.
The most noble thing it could do is to remind the west that it has an addiction to oil.
It would sink the US economy.

$76 a barrel now.
$200 a barrel? Is that where it's going?
That is one heavy burden we're carrying for Israel
*whistles an old tune from the late 90's as I walk away*
The closing of the Strait of Hormuz is a bit like the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979, huh?
It's like holding the global economy hostage.
There are only so many ways that this could end.
I have some ideas, but I'd rather leave that open for you to speculate on.
On the flip side of that, nothing gets done. We need a landslide in November.
What usually happens if they do say that they support the Palestinian cause is that they'll change their minds once they get in there. They'll do it just to get elected

Not sure what you mean by who?
But I can pick brains, sure no problem.
What's the name of the guy that's running against her?
I don't even have to look and I know ahead of time he supports Israel. This is because it takes money to run a campaign. Plenty of money available for those who pledge loyalty to Israel.
That is just basic political reality.
Aren't they ALL beholden to Israel?
Government spending is not a temporary fix kind of thing.
It should be considered a permanent feature of any American economy.
As long as we embrace free market economics, government spending is key.
UBI and health care.
Every single time.
Government spending is an essential part of any economy. It always has been and it always will be.
While Western Europe moved and accepted that, the United States wants to play with that time-tested truth.
That would suggest that there's something else beyond this universe.
That's when we go into the arena of theoretical physicists, poets and mystics.
Oil price hikes didn't directly cause the crash of 2008, but it did knock a precariously-balanced and debt-laden economy off balance.
This is because consumer spending is the lifeblood of the economy.
If Americans have to pay more at the pump, that's less going to other things like debt.
I'm not Christian.
But when Erika said that we should forgive people and then he disagreed, that was the clue which Christians should have noticed immediately.
Love thy neighbor.
If he opposes that, that should have been a flashing red light.
If not, they're racists using faith as a mask
To Trump, everything and everyone is a resource to be used.
That is a psychopath, is it not?
