Not just Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb. Quite a sizeable portion of Gulf States refining capacity is seriously damaged or outright destroyed. That's not a question of paying dues to get your cargo through. Restoring refineries to capacity takes design development, construction planning, procurement of equipment and materials, clearing bombed sites, construction, testing and commissioning. This can easily take 3 to 5 years to complete, depending on size and complexity. So we're in for the long haul and will need to adapt and adjust. Prices at the pump will likely stay high for the foreseeable future.
On January 6th five years ago, Donald Trump led a violent insurrection that is one of the worst moments in our Nation's entire history. Trump told his supporters to go to the capitol and "fight like hell." Trump supporters attacked police, caused injuries, ransacked the Capital, wandered around with Confederate flags, and some of them were shouting "Hang Mike Pence!" Because Pence would not accede to trump's demand to desertify the election. Trump LOST that election to Joe Biden, and when the insurrection was in full swing, Trump watch the whole thing on television and refused to intervene or act in any way. People died, and some of them committed suicide later, because they were so traumatized by this disgusting event. And yet the american people later on voted Trump back into office. TWICE! So way to go you MAGA idiots! Now you have a war in the mid-east with no end in sight, higher gasoline prices, higher food prices, higher healthcare, higher housing, and many other items. But I think in a rough-justice way, Americans are getting what they deserved. So you made your bed, Americans, now go sleep in it! Sincerely, David Morris, who was born in Fort Wayne Indiana, many years ago.
Dark Age Ahead. Jane Jacobs was right. 40 years ago, I started to consider all these eventualities , but as a result of geological earth upheaval - not something as stupid as war. It all sounds like…. Cuba for the last several decades. But Cuba is in the tropics. Humans can adapt to scarcity, but we are less adaptive than we used to be. Adapt we must. In the midst of it all we’ll realize how modern technological society is kind of a lie. A lie based on steady streams flowing over dry land. I’ve been studying medieval lifestyle videos on YouTube. It doesn’t sound so bad. Food supply will be the main stumbling block. People are already eating less so they can stay warm in some places. I just found your stack. It’s very good. Thanks

Yikes!
Did someone say Regime Change? Looks like the Conman is getting flimflammed by the mark.
Too bad we have to pay for his fuckup.
I see a Road Warrior type of hellscape.
Take martial arts and get strapped up.
