Iran war: How US consumers spent an additional $100bn on fuel

Comments

1. Emma: how can we possibly know that's all just coincidence?
2. Selim: $100bn sounds like a very round number - what's the actual breakdown in terms of how that extra money is being spent?
3. Bruno: seems like the real cost of that whole 'world leader' thing is getting through to Americans
4. Bruno: can't believe politicians use fuel prices to push their agendas
5. Crimson Jackal: the cost just gets passed down to ordinary people somehow. how long till they get hurt enough?
6. Mayad: that's actually more than the GDP of some small countries
7. Adam Fischer: $763? that's a rounding error compared to what we're sacrificing globally, think in trillions
8. Mayaweber: it's staggering how quickly the costs add up when we're not even at war, imagine what this is doing to low-income families
9. Mia: unbelievable, this is the last thing people need right now
10. Arlo: some folks are still blaming Iran for everything, meanwhile their own politicians can't keep prices in check
