This is not a drill, and this is not a market correction. What is happening to oil prices right now is a full-scale geopolitical energy shock, and if you operate a small trucking company – a fleet of one to twenty trucks, an owner-operator running solo, a box truck or hotshot operator trying to hold…
Sorry to burst your belief bubble but that war in Iran has NOTHING to do with oil prices increasing! This is a belief that is programmed in your mind and the more you repeat it , the more you contion that belief! Go look at the Gold to Oil ratio! That ratio was ENORMOUS before that war started!

Furthermore , why are we even agreeing to finace those wars through income taxes that the people pay??? That is right, YOU the laborers of the world are extorted through abligating you to pay income taxes, which are then used to finance these wars and military equipment! Look back why those income taxes were first implemented as a TEMPORARY measure! It was to finance WAR! All we need to do is UNITE and start making better collective choices rather than remain divided and manipulated. Your choice!
