So, my grandfather (who runs a small scale petroleum distributor) called me today to tell me that gas jumped $150 a barrel. That's about three dollars a gallon. It's something to do with Iran deciding to use the euro as a standard as opposed to the dollar. He's telling everyone in the family to prepare us by telling us that this, used as a indicator and validified by other current changes in the import market denote a very important, and instant change in the value of the dollar. In other words, the beginning of a new depression. Started with a serious market crash. I basically got the feeling that what we're looking at right now is going to make 1931 look like a walk in the park.
