“That’s kind of their problem and shouldn’t affect me. “
oh, but it does: petro commodities are to a large degree fungible, and to an increasing degree are priced internationally ... only non-fungible factor is transportability, which affects NG the most ... but NG prices are predicted to double in the U.S. this winter as the EU bids up prices to replace russkie NG and their stupidity in shutting down their nukes and coal burners ...
Effective borders use to mitigate the fungibility of international markets. I guess we know what happened to that.
