Well, Donny Convict’s corrupt and incompetent style of “governance” has finally affected me personally – in the wallet.

• The stock market indexes are down 5-10% in the last month. That correlates directly to retirement savings.
• Southwest airline tickets are suddenly way, way up. One way flights from Socal to Louisville are suddenly $500-700! I’ve been flying this route for years at an average one-way price of about $350. That’s gonna hurt. This is 100% due to Felon Trump’s stupid excursion war into Iran.
• San Diego gasoline prices are now edging into the $6/gallon range. I’m predicting $7/gallon real soon.

Energy prices underpin almost everything in a modern economy. Transportation, food, construction, utilities, travel, and more – all these things get more expensive when energy (oil in particular) get more scarce (and therefore expensive). So this unnecessary, idiot war in Iran is going to drive the cost of living through the roof this spring. It’s already begun.

Maybe, just maybe, this will hurt enough Trump voters to erode his and Republicans’ chances in upcoming elections. I’m not optimistic – Donny Convict has been teflon for a decade or more – but maybe.
