The cost of crude oil affects everything from the price of food at the supermarket to how much it costs to fill up your car.

    Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemen could shut the Bab al-Mandeb.

    That would destabilize global energy markets in a hurry, and the west would go into economic tailspin as a result.

      The laziness of the average person continues to amaze me. You’ve chosen to ask and wait for the answer to a question which could have been answered by reading the article you’ve commented on. “Why” is the reason journalists pen these articles.

        Honestly, fuck link aggregators. If I wanted to read articles elsewhere I would’ve done so.

        Not to mention that they are terrible for web longevity. Website gone? Most likely content gone as well.

        I thought that the whole idea of Lemmy was to prevent content getting nuked if any of our subreddits are gone. Linking to articles without a decent summary added is actively anti-user in my opinion.
