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.
Have you considered running for office, or working for someone who is?
Run for office? The only people that succeed at that have connections. If I had connections then I wouldn’t be in the circumstances I’m in currently.
Things seem to be changing around that sort of thing. And I wasn’t suggesting high office. Like, any office. But I also suggested working for a campaign, getting behind someone decent who might run in your area.
There are no honest people anymore.
