    Crude oil prices are up more than 15% since the conflict began amid production stoppages ​as Tehran attacks energy facilities in the Gulf as well as ships crossing the Strait.

    Prices at the pump are ~$3.80. It’s at times like this, when the pedo-in-chief starts a full-on war in Iran, that I’m glad a Democrat isn’t president, as oil would be up 120% and the price at the pump would be near $7 with stickers of the president plastered all over it saying “I DID THAT.”

    Edit: sarcasm, for anyone who can’t parse it - not entirely sarcasm though, I’m actually insinuating the fossil fuel industry controls prices and will use price control to actively hurt a Democrat in office by keeping prices artificially higher than they would if a Republican was in the same office.
