Wait 'til futures" become ground-based reality. It takes the average oil tanker about a month at sea to deliver its load, so in about a week things will truly spiral out of control- seeing that no westward shipments have left Hormuz since early March. Kinda like a sonic boom blast being heard and felt after the supersonic jet has long since soared out of sight.

They've done away with the penny. When are they going to get rid of that damn 0.9 cents in a gallon of gas? Finding that change has always been difficult.

"Cheap" gas, at the Native casino, here in NorCal starts at $5.39/gal and goes way up from there.
F anybody that thinks this pos has been anything but a disaster for this country.

If it keep on rainin'
The levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
The levee gonna break
Some of these people gonna strip you
Of all they can take

If it keep on rainin'
The levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
The levee gonna break
Some people still sleepin'
Some people are wide awake
