I can't for the life of me figure out the oil shit at this point. It feels inevitable that prices will go up more before the end of the year but America keeps doing this will they won't they thing with bombs.

It is pretty astounding how much it seems that everyone that should be sounding alarms about the situation is doing their best to act like it's not really a problem. It's like watching a train wreck that's inevitable unfold in slow motion.

Capitalism really makes dealing with big problems so much more difficult because no one in the market wants to be the first to flinch. It's going to be so much worse than even 2007/8 because this is a real material crunch that effects almost every aspect of the global economy. Everyone is just trying to act casual while walking out off the ledge like a cartoon coyote.
