Energy prices have been high since the US-Israel war with Iran began and the strait of Hormuz was blocked
US gas prices this month are so far the highest ever recorded for August as peace talks between the US and Iran have stalled and Donald Trump launched fresh threats against Oman.
The national average price of gas was $4.06 per gallon on Monday, according to data from AAA, $0.05 higher than last week and $1 more expensive than a year ago. In California and Hawaii, averages hit about $5.50 a gallon.
Energy prices have been high since the US-Israel war with Iran began at the end of February and the strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway through which a fifth of the oil passes, was blocked.
Now watch as they either suddenly stop caring about gas prices, delude themselves into thinking its good actually, or they all collectively start to have amnesia. They did the same moves when it came to the affordability crisis, the Epstein files, and even the war with Iraq. Maybe gas prices will finally be the straw that turns people away from MAGA, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
