    Largely unaffected? Our prices have soared since the war in Iran. Our prices were substantially lower before Iran because of our local oil production but it’s very clear to most Americans that our fossil fuel consumption is largely supplemented but foreign oil. And we are seeing the result at the pump. Sorry you’re paying even more but you were paying more than us before too.

      You’re still paying less than many of us were paying before, man the fuck up and stop complaining. Literally living in one of the most privileged countries in the world.
