Whatever you’ve been told you’re going to get from the war with Iran, what you are actually getting is abundantly clear by this point. Gasoline prices have soared up to over three dollars a gallon and getting higher. Four bucks a gallon, or even more, is a given by the end of March.
At the end of March, we’ll see April roll around, then May, and finally Hurricane season in June.
Imagine a hurricane barreling down on New Orleans with gas already at four bucks a gallon.
With the Gulf of Mexico rigs out of production, even for a short while, we’re looking at gasoline prices somewhere around five bucks a gallon. If the war is still raging at that point, it might be considerably worse.
Higher gas prices during the spring means farmers, those who are left by this time, will pay much higher prices to plant, and to harvest, which means we’ll be paying even more for food by the middle of the summer.
By the teeth of hurricane season in September, we could be at the point farmers, those who could afford to plants, are unable to harvest. The states pounded by hurricanes could be looking at limited help from the government, and unable to pay for fuel to do search and rescue.
Hopefully, the Pedophile War, that war of distraction from a sitting president doing anything possible to distract from his crimes, will be over, but I doubt it. Trump knows he had to remain a moving target, creating one distraction after the next, regardless of what it costs the average American, or America herself.
Sadly, even if after midterm elections, even if Trump is impeached and removed from office, the forces that allowed something like this to happen are still in place. We still have a population of voters who believed everything Trump said and willingly followed him down his path of destruction and supported him at every turn.
We still have a government that doesn’t function well at all, and the two sides of the aisle in Washington are little more than bought and sold lackeys of corporate America.
We still lack the will to put a leash on campaign funds, or prosecute elected officials who are on someone else’s payroll other than the taxpayers.
House prices, food prices, fuel prices, medical care and transportation are all priced out of range for the average American, whose paychecks are getting smaller as government gets bigger, yet not better at all.
Trump is a cancer, that needs to be removed, and everyone paying attention knows this to be true. But the causes of this disease are still in place, and recurrence is 100% unless we change the way we run elections, and our schools.
The stench of Trump’s diapers might be gone when he goes, but we’ll be dealing with the same sh!t until we come together for real change.
Take Care,
Mike
