Food stamps during the food rationing of the World War II era in the United States. I took this picture at a museum. This time around, of course, the food rationing stamps will be digital. And they'll track you on your mobile device to limit your calories to a near-starvation level. All by design.
ALERT: The cost to insure and charter a supertanker through the Strait of Hormuz has gone from roughly $50,000 per day to more than $1 million per day. This is not speculation. The Baltic Exchange's TD3C benchmark route from Saudi Arabia to China hit another all-time high of $1.33 million per day, up 10% on the week and 21 times where it was a year ago.
This means every barrel of oil moving through that chokepoint now carries a war tax baked into its freight cost, and those costs are then passed directly to you at the gas station, the grocery store, and the pharmacy.
So even if oil is moving (and I don't trust Trump's claims on shipping volume anyway), it's going to be far more expensive than before. Transportation costs alone are now exceeding $25 per barrel of oil!
