Yeah, something that should be at the top of the priority list.
I don't know.
I don't work in intelligence, but as far as I know, they didn't attack anybody.
Oh no, people are really suffering.
And what's even sadder is that if this war continues, um, it's going to go up even higher.
So Saudi Arabia, I read an article,
today that they said that it's going to go up to $180 per barrel of oil.
That means on average, on average, that the gas in the United States will be anywhere from $5 to $6 across the country.
Imagine what's going to be here in LA.
So every dollar you have to pay for gas to get to work, take your kid to
to childcare to school or to baseball practice, or just, just to go and have a little bit of fun is going to now break the bank.
So people are going to start pulling back and they're going to stop doing things just to make the, be able to fill up that gas tank on top of that.
you also could have increased prices of anything that gets delivered by truck.
So food, baby clothes, think about everything.
So the price of goods is gonna increase because the cost to deliver those goods is gonna increase.
So right now we're in the affordability crisis and it's only to get worse.
And the president who said that he was gonna lower the price of living or the cost of living on day one is actually making even more expensive.
for people to get by.
And that's not going to hit just blue cities and blue states.
It's going to hit everybody.
