#6  WTI at about $95/b this evening which is about where it was before Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

It is not as bad as $120/b but still I think anything above $80/b kills economic growth in the US.

These rate increases will only crated the economy because they aren’t trying to moderate what is causing this round of inflation

It’s the oil stupid!!!

I guess Shrinkflation and adding 14% to 50+% to the prices wasn't the best idea after all for the Big Boxes.
