Literally what I did back in the day to hear the populace cheer me in Sim City.
Raise prices/taxes: Booooo
Lower prices, but not below where they started: Cheers and applause
These people really are that stupid
Dude they think Obama was president during 911. We need a whole new word because “stupid” isn’t enough.
invalid is a good word here.
A concerningly large percentage of US voters seem to only be able to think about last week, this week, and next week.
That’s the extent of their ability to think and plan
I’ll tell you why, in 2 weeks
And the political establishment knows that and the media class never hold a flame to the politicians balls which is why trump can get away with saying something will happen in two weeks and it gets forgotten and he is never held to account
An entire week in both directions is a stretch. Many seem to have reduced that to a day or even less. If it isn’t happening to them right now, they don’t know about it.
No they aren’t. Iran just canceled the cease fire because Israel won’t stop committing war crimes.
Now their idea of making america great again is to try to restore it to how great it was when Biden was president.
While giving Trump praise and blaming Obama for some stupid reason (overt racism)
Buttery males?
I miss my 20s
Don’t you mean Barack HUSSAIN Obama?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
How delusional are these people?
I’m actually afraid of the answer to that question.
Yes.
wait until world reserves hit minimum by the end of this month, right about when everyone realizes that hormuz open != oil immediately flowing
some shit gonna go wack for a while and might be shortages too
I keep thinking about this. Im not an expert on geopolitics, but I know a lot about manufacturing and shipping. How much infrastructure has been damaged/destroyed in the Persian gulf this year? Specialized industrial machinery isn’t found on the shelf at the middle east version of Grainger, the lead times on things like large valves can be a year.
If trump and bibi and the ayatolla all fell in love tomorrow and called the whole thing off while moving to a ranch in montana to raise horses and roses as a throuple, it would still be multiple years before that stuff came back online.
So my wackadoodle conspiracy theory is that the US president is a plant from the environmentalists who will force the US to go to renewable energy by making oil too expensive to burn.
You are exactly right. The lead time on most industrial equipment, especially that specialized for the oil industry, is going to be multiple months. Possibly longer considering the sudden demand spike as everyone in the region is trying to rebuild at the same time.
That is not even counting the logistics nightmare it will be to get the continuous floe of supertanker traffic reorganized and restarted. The full capacity of the Strait relies on traffic entering and exiting in a predictable constant manner which will also take months to re-establish, since tankers are scattered all over the world now.
Its ok though, this is a moot point as once again Israel has predictably broken the ceasefire almost immediately, and Iran has cancelled all talks and plans to reopen the strait because of it.
Logistics nightmare
WARNING: PUI You’ll have that in two directions too. You’ll have to find enough ships to carry materials and parts in, and there will probably be tankers waiting, complicating matters. (I don’t know how ship traffic works.) And those boats will be underway for months. Everything takes months. And it all piles up.
Two possible silver linings:
1.) New refinery equipment may be more efficient, and safer.
2.) There is a very clear and inexpensive way to help reduce the impact of this mess, and it’s as easy as laying glass in the sun.
Don’t pay attention to me. Im just a random guy on the Internet who’s spent a bit of time around container traffic and a lot of time in warehouses.
Can’t tell if old (but still relevant) meme or experiencing deja vu.
