Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long. Like most of America, they've been paycheck to paycheck for a long time, just waiting for that inevitable disaster that makes them homeless, and it finally happened.
High gas prices are going to destroy a lot of companies, and a lot of lives. Gas was $2.79 on the day they started bombing. It was $4.59 yesterday.
We have reached the stage where they simply don't care if it hurts us.
The next stage will be inflicting pain on us to make us submit.
Then it we'll move to the stage where they inflict pain, just because it's entertaining.
Crazy how Biden is still making gas prices go up so long after he left office.
I would hope it's obvious, but /s.
It's kind of surprising to me that fuel prices in the US seem to have been affected the most by it.
I'm above the border and gas was typically $1.30 and now it's closer to $1.90-$2.00
Still a big increase but no where near double like some places in the US
American oil companies ALWAYS exploit any situation on which they can rationalize price increases. Even a rumor of a supply problem, even if it doesn't affect America, will cause a 50 cent spike in prices.
Something like this? Time to cash in! I guarantee that at the end of the year, the oil companies will have record profits, proving that the increases weren't due to the increased price of supply, but corporate greed-flation caused by profit-gouging.
Well, we do extract and refine our own gasoline in canuckistan, so maybe it's that.
I live on West coast so I think we do actually import a lot of gas from washington
