Yup, pretty well has an effect on your daily life.
Gas and grocery prices everywhere.
A worldwide crisis made and designed by Trump.
Uganda, Cuba, China etc did not create this crisis.
Your buddy in the White House did, the one you worship and compare to Jesus.

Watch whether prices and fuel costs keep outrunning the official line.
Watch whether the tariff case exposes how improvised this whole economic posture really is.
And watch how often “stability” turns out to mean that someone important found a podium while everyone else is still living with the consequences.

I think it's pretty ironic when you worry about the price of gas when the strait of Hormuz is shut down, but you didn't cry about gas when Biden shut down drilling in the US, and Europe chose to buy their gas from Russia.

On Wednesday morning, the
price of Brent crude — the international benchmark for the price of oil —plummeted from around $110 a barrel to around $92 a barrel. That is having a delayed effect on gasoline prices in Canada and the U.S., De Haan said.
“That 15 per cent drop in the price of oil is now translating to a fall in gas prices across much of Canada,” he said.
Gas prices rose significantly during Biden’s early years, driven by a convergence of demand recovery and global shocks with summer seasonal effects producing record pump prices in 2022 — and later spikes under another president show those drivers remain largely external to White House control; policy choices matter for longer‑term energy structure and costs, but short‑term pump prices are primarily set by global oil markets and geopolitical events.
The war between Russia and Ukraine are also causing pressure on the global market.
Countries don't set the price, the global market does.
So even if there was no conflict in Iran, there would still be some instability due to other conflicts around the world that rely on oil.
During Biden's time there was a lot of factors. We had covid, Ukraine and Russia, summer travel and demand increased the stress on prices. The unknown among oil companies whether they would have contracts to drill or be shut down.
At least this little wave we're going through isn't having as much an economic impact on us as it is China.
I don't understand what you're worried about anyways, don't all you "Fossil Fuels Bad" people already have backup plans like windmills and solar panels and electric cars?
What's the problem?
I mean, first we have to listen to people whining that fossil fuels are bad, then we have to listen to people whining about the cost of fossil fuels.
I wish people would pick a side and stick to it.
