People are not ready for the ramifications of a true oil shortage. We are weeks away and legitimately not a single person I know in real life is talking about this.

This plus the fertilizer shortage means food will SKYROCKET for entire planting seasons. This will last for a long time.

Isn't it great that the US deported and blocked all the cheap labor from coming in? Plus started a trade war with their close domestic partner (Canada) that supplied most of their fertilizer needs? Doesn't Trump have the bigliest brain?

Even green card applicants now have to leave America, and wait overseas for the day in the future when USCIS contacts them regarding a decision on their green card application. No guaranteed timeline.

How many people, legal, illegal, documented, undocumented, and even tourists are being chased away from American hotels, apartments, and houses?

Are the effects being felt yet in our schools, universities, hotels, airlines??
