In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

    I am not worried about the war, the only affect it has on me is that gas prices have gone up.

    I am worried about the fact that Hegseth has managed to replace the entire command structure with cristofacists that believe they are going to initiate armageddon.

    I am worried about what those commanders will do when it comes time for this administration to step down.

    I am also very worried about how many people I know who cannot find work and are unable to pay their mounting debts. I’ve been helping a friend pay for her cell phone bill while she tries to get a new job. I have multiple friends who cannot even get minimum wage jobs because they are “over qualified”.

    I am worried about how much damage and harm the AI industry is doing to our entire fucking society.

    The war in Iran is nothing compared to all of this.

      You said it yourself, gas prices are up. That’s the first of many knock-on effects.

      All food is transported using fuel. All packaging, from the case your computer is in to the wrapper around your bread, is made from plastic. It all must be manufactured and then transported as well.

      Every job available also needs fuel and power to exist.

      Oil prices will affect everything above that you already mentioned.
