3. the average consumer in the U.S. will be totally fucked!

All of the price hikes in oil/gas have not even made it through the supply chain yet. You think grocery prices are high now, just wait!...its going to be bad! Forget choosing between your medications and your food....how are you going to afford to get to fucking work!!!!

Now, full disclosure here...I retired late last year and moved to Spain. I have not seen any price increases in food or utilities...and my electrical is 100% sourced from renewables. I do expect there will be some increases because Spain, and Europe on the whole is being affected by the Enorme Naranja Pendejo's war of choice. I just don't think it will be anywhere near as bad as what will affect the U.S.
