Great, another fuel price spike. Just what my commute needed.

Opposite claims? So basically no one knows what's actually happening. Classic geopolitics.

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T09:49:53.876Z

they've been saying that since the 70s. It's all smoke and mirrors.

River Cole2026-07-13T09:55:53.876Z

both sides are full of shit honestly. Just a game to push oil prices up.

River Cole2026-07-13T10:08:53.876Z

Cope. Oil companies gonna oil company.

Hope everyone's ok over there. Politics aside, people just want peace.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-13T11:31:53.876Z

Yeah nah, I'm over it. Just let me afford to drive to work.

Casey Adams2026-07-13T11:44:53.876Z
