so what can #consumers do?

very little. if you buy #heatingoil look that you have a contract with fixed prices. or fill everything up when prices are ok. that is really the only thing i can think of. apart from accepting that this volatility is out of your control. obsessing over #trump's tweets or spot #oilprice has been SO EXHAUSTING, don't do it. instead, focus on what you can control: #consumption habits and energy choices.

Hopefully, someone will check trade records late after Shitstain's liefest on Friday that sent oil prices down $10 a barrel. If you haven't kept up:

1) Iran re-closed the strait after Shitstain opened his stupid fucking mouth

2) At least two ships trying to make it through in the so-called "open" period came under Iranian fire

3) Nobody's in the Strait right now other than a couple of Iranian fishing boats and one cargo craft, near shore. None are near the transit area. The one that shows up as present and underway under power hasn't updated its data in almost 12 hours at time of post, so it's safe to assume it's not there.

And literally AS I WAS POSTING THAT, this breaks, Iran say they're closing the Strait of Hormuz again. Link:

Substantial traffic in the strait now, mostly outbound:

Oil market's closed for the weekend. No boats crossing the usual strait channels yet, but looks like a lot of boats are lining up to try it from the Persian Gulf. It seems reasonable to me that crews trapped in the Gulf would be more willing to risk the uncertainty than those waiting around outside.

they think this will end soon.
