If people were aware, en masse, of the extent of what we're facing, grocery store shelves would be empty tomorrow and most other essential goods would be sold out the day after that.
We would be combining households, planting gardens, minimizing all of our expenses, and trying to sell our cars. (Though there would be no market for cars because everyone would know they'll be useless soon enough.)

If you have not yet: Build up a #rollingStockpile of non-perishable foods for at least 3-6 weeks. Have #drinkingWater stored for short-term needs and gravitational #waterFilter for prolonged #waterShortage.
Don't forget necessary meds and other consumables you need.
(rolling #stockpile : use 1 oldest = buy 2 new)

This is a map from JP Morgan showing when oil shipments from the Strait of Hormuz are scheduled to make their last deliveries in different parts of the world.
Even if hostilities were to cease today, refineries & storage facilities have been struck, & tankers travel slowly, so there still would be a lag period before more ships sail out plus additional supply reductions. It's similar to last year's tariffs mess (a practice run?), but this time, it can't all be undone by a signature or phone call.
Brace for impact; this is an oil shock that's very likely to pop the bubble of the global capitalist economy, causing price spikes & even rationing in the short term, followed by all kinds of serious turmoil.
