Following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, gas prices, grocery bills and mortgage rates have all climbed
The US-Israel war against Iran has sent shockwaves through global markets, leaving many Americans grappling with a growing financial squeeze on everyday living costs.
Following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran – prompting retaliatory attacks on US allies in the region and Iran’s decision to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage – costs have surged across the US. Gas prices, in particular, have spiked sharply, with the national average rising by roughly 30% over the past month. Grocery bills, mortgage rates and fertilizer costs have also climbed.
Now, many Americans are being forced to reassess their finances and cut back drastically on basic necessities such as food, clothing and electricity.
Someone should tell them that the people who actually didn’t make it through were the 180-ish little kids that were bombed by an American missile in the middle of their school day over in Iran. Stand by and watch how the Religious Right try to argue they were child terrorists or something abysmal like that. Gas can cost 20 dollars per gallon and it doesn’t even compare. I’m just going to remind everyone conservative of that every time they mention anything about affordability.
All part of god’s plan. His mysterious ways. His mysterious ways and plans and don’t fret, he has a special plan and place for you in heaven if you simply ignore the goings ons in the world and have faith that his cruel, sadistic, horrific, mysterious plans are your fault because he gave you free will without guardrails even though being God he could have simply not allowed for the concepts of evil and suffering and just made everything peaceful and happy but it’s OK because when you get to heaven you get to worship the narcissistic asshole for eternity. Or you goes into the lake of fire and fry.
A perfect mysterious plan.
