Things seem to be going well in the Middle East, huh?
The Wall Street Journal had a story that said that this is all basically happening because Section 5 of the ceasefire agreement that I would say Trump signed at Versailles is poorly written and has led to a lot of confusion about what a written in control of the street actually means.
Yeah, they wanted to say the Strait was open so that the market would improve and oil prices would start to go down, even if the Strait was not actually open.
Yeah, this goes to the point I like to make about this, which is anyone dumb enough to start this war is too dumb to get out of it, which is sort of where we are.
As you pointed out, oil prices and gas prices have gone up a little bit through this.
The stock market's gone down.
Ships are still passing through the strait, although it's still well below pre-war levels.
But the administration is finally taking at least one step to help with gas prices.
Let's take a look.
You heard that right.
The administration's big move is a network of so-called Freedom Fuel stations that are mostly in the larger Philadelphia area, and they are selling gas at $3.47 a gallon, 47 cents.
Get it?

Like it is they are spitting in the ocean.
There is a saying when you work in the White House.
It's like you want to get caught trying.
There are problems you can't solve.
They're too big.
