Oil Prices Surge Above $100 a Barrel for the First Time in Almost Four Years
The jump was a sign of growing concern that the war in the Middle East will take a toll on energy supplies.

That is not good for GOP midterms.

Silver lining, I guess.

This should get filed under, “Well, no duh”.

This is the dumbest timeline. God help us.

The headline is underwhelming. It actually went above 110 briefly before pulling back some.

It took all of three weeks for oil to go from $60 to $107. And the war has only just started.

Didn't it start the year around $55? Essentially doubled in 2 months? Insane.

Yeah oil doubling in price is NBD, amirite?

It will drop just as fast. Maybe not back to 55 though. 80.

Yes, the supply chain disruptions haven't even hit yet.

And as someone who owns an EV, I'm not smug, fuel prices going up drive up the price of everything because it increases shipping costs. That on top of tariffs.
