What are going to do about that Brandon?
This is to be considered more as a comment than an essay but it will impact all of us in more ways that we can consider in the future.

'It's the battle of the pump': Detroiters react as gas prices top $4 a gallon.
Detroit — The cost of filling up is hurting Detroiters' pockets this weekend as the price of gasoline surged well above $4 at stations across the city.
In Michigan, the average price on Sunday was about $3.97 a gallon, up from $3.87 on Saturday, $3.56 a week before and $3.37 a month ago. Last year, the average was $2.72 a gallon, according to AAA.
The national average price of a gallon of gas rose to $4.01 on Sunday, according to AAA. This is the first time the number surpassed $4 since 2008, according to Patrick De Haan of GasBuddy, an app that tracks local gas prices in real-time.
At a Shell gas station on Woodward Avenue in Midtown, where regular gas cost $4.49 if customers paid in cash and $4.59 if they used a credit card, Janet Diggs braced herself against the windy Sunday afternoon and filled up the tank in her silver Nissan Murano.
Diggs, 56, lives by Seven Mile Road and Wyoming Avenue, where she said gas was slightly cheaper than Midtown, but she had to get gas because her car was running on nearly empty.
"I can't not drive, so I've gotta roll with the punches," said Diggs. "I'm not moving the way I used to, though."
Without a doubt more sanctions and Blinken's F*cked up strategy is the obvious answer.

Obviously things are heading in the wrong direction.
But there seems to be that there is not escape route.
Woe is us!
One thing I may be I may be considered wrong.
But at my age it will not change. That is who I am. My spring chicken days happened long ago.
In California gas has topped $5
$5.45/gal
for the basic gasoline in my area outside of L.A. In West Hollywood and, I hear, some parts of upper middle-class L.A., it's now nearing $7.00/gal.
Prediction today from an analyst on the Mercouris/Christoforou podcast that gas prices in the US will hit $10/gal in the next 30-60 days.
Transportation, utility and food costs will be going way up in the near future, and the analyst adds this could result over 6-18 months time into an "inflationary recession/depression" in the EU and US.
It will certainly have an effect on the 2022 midterms.
Brandon's not going to do
jack shit- his money's already made. And in any case, he can no longer successfully identify his navel with his index finger, unless his handlers juice him up to the moon.
There is no help coming. At this point, we are all simply coppertops.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
It’s just the regular price gauging
that happens whenever there’s a chance to do it. The gas we are buying today was bought at lower prices, but as we know there is always someone willing to screw us over. Biden could threaten them, but he won’t. The more money corporations make the more money they can give to congress.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
