      I suspect the global economy is kind of like a chicken running with its head cut off at this point. The energy shortage is structural and cannot be fixed in the near term. And the effects of that have been masked by the fact that tankers were already out when the war started, and took some time to get to their destination, then by countries opening up the reserves. Now both of these amortization measures are exhausted, and we’ll see the real price of energy take effect.

        i fully expect the brunt to be felt after the midterm elections – sparing trump and his ilk from the worst of the fallout.
