Unfortunately, rising gas prices always hit the poor hardest. Effectively creating a new poor tax.helty said:A lot of us just happen to be younger guys going through school and it seems to hit us a bit harder bc what small income we have goes towards payin bills. $3/gallon adds up and makes a difference after a while.
they have seen over the last few years that they can raise prices and we will bitch & moan but keep buying so now they know they can do as they please and continue to pad their pockets. Didn't the CEO of Exxon/Mobile just retire and got a 400million dollar retirement package? But they aren't making anymore money then before!....sure OKmity2 said:I just don't understand that why all these situation suddenly have so much impact on gas price. I mean instability in middle east, hurricane, and Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini(known as Ayatollah) bashing us is nothing new. its been going on for years, and haven't effect gas price as it has in the past 4 years
GDawg said:we will go into Iran with all sorts of excuses... for oil.
sgarlic said:I just think about rising gas costs like this.
If my 15.7 gallon tank were completely empty, at $2.759 per gallon, it costs me $43 to fill it. At $3.00 a gal, it's $47. That's only an extra 4 bucks. Big whoop. I spend twice that on coca-cola every few days.
Stupid logic, but it makes me feel better.
Sunday Times: 40,000 Iran suicide bombers ready to hit US, UK targetsmity2 said:I hope not. Think about where they are located. Because this is what i think what would happen if we attack Iran. I;m not pro analyzer. So i'm open for opinion/suggestion/counter opinion
They(Iran) are in located in such area that makes it very easy to take control of one of perhaps most important strait in the middle east region - Strait of Hormuz, where almost 100% of oil tanker depart from Persian gulf have to cross. We attack Iran, Iran will close off the strait with force. simple as that.
View attachment 474791
They close that strait, price of clude oil WILL skylocket so high that makes $75/barrel look like pocket change, and we'll be owned. Remenber Iran did do that back in Mid 80's. So they'll do it again
Then Iran would prolly attack American force stationed in Iraq. Since most the insurgents that are still conducting gerrira warfare would support Iran(despite of past difference), and turn up the heat on US solders in Iraq with IED or prohaps(and most likely) more advanced weapons provided by Iran. Just think what happened to USSR in afganistan when those insurgents got supported by another nation(reads US) so willingly provided modern weapons? Can u say another Vietnam???
Iran recently made the commented not so good to Israel. Iran pointedly announced that its Shahab-3 ballistic missile was now operational. The missile can reach Israel, and Iran has 25 to 100 of them. Defense Minister Ali Shamkhrani crowed that Iran was now "ready to confront all regional [read: Israeli] and extra-regional [read: American] threats.
If US strikes Iran, its easy to imagine that Iran would, and will mostlikely shoot off few of these in to islael. As iran and Islael aren't the bestest friend. And i would think anti-american feel would quickly spread among Islaeli people.
With Oil tanker not able to pass through above mentioned strait, then that would piss off $$$ hungry SaudiArabian oil ticoon, and would no longer support US to protect its interest. meaning We basically lose all the control over middle eastern region, and say hello to $200~$300 for the barrel of oil(who knowz what it will be at the pump...)
What you guys think?
Fixed.Tehran has brainwashed teenage suicide bombers to attack British and American targets if Iran's nuclear sites are attacked
