  • and remember $6 is average, diesel is $10 in some places

    even if you do not drive, it affects every delivery

    imagine this pattern through 2029

    800 more days, even just a penny increase per day

    we're out of $4 Million dollar tomahawks and the iranians have endless supply of $50K drones

    strategic oil reserve is about to experience permanent catastrophic damage from being drained too low

  • In the late 90's/ early 2000 Diesel was about the same cost as regular gas and then at some point its about the same cost as premium gas.

    Is there any reason why Diesel costs more? I was always under the impression that it was a less-refined fuel therefore cheaper.

  • Lately I've been making a conscious effort to flip my coordinate system around on inflation.

    Instead of tracking cost increases of fuel, I try to conceptualize prices for all things in equivalent fuel or metered energy.

    The fed can overlook energy and food in their "preferred metric of inflation", but that's 90% of what I care about as an individual. Very interesting to track your purchasing power in MWh

  • If oil starts ruining the financial picture on top of just the...global welfare of every living human picture, then maybe, just maybe people will actually give up their addiction.

  • $6 a gallon is about €1.36 a litre - thats cheap compared to a European average of €2 per litre.

    Still that makes very clear why Venezuela had to happen before Iran.

  • Remember, the grandiose leader said the Iran special military operation will be over after the midterm elections. Unfortunately he meant the 2034 midterms.

  • It seems one way Iran fights the US asymmetrically is by harming the Federal financial picture with endlessly higher rates + borrowing costs. If this keeps happening month-after-month, year-after-year, we're really going to feel the squeeze.

    Treasury has already tried to reassure markets and failed

    Add to this other trade war nonsense...
