Since my aunts already texted me because Iran is going to close the Strait of Hormuz, I figured a separate thread to discuss responses and impact and political fallout might make sense.
 
Invest heavily in renewable energy sources, like, NOW.

China gets something like 50% of their oil through the Strait of Hormuz. They are not going to be happy.

Start getting all your banking and credit card statements printed on paper and mailed to you. Stop buying anything on-line that you don't absolutely need and if you have to, buy from some place in America big enough to be able to afford a vigorous and effective defense against cyber-attacks. When you use your credit/debit card to make a purchase, tap the card and try whenever possible to avoid inserting the card anywhere. When travelling and you stop at some little, run-down looking store/gas station, try to pay with cash if you can. If you have to insert a credit/debit card anywhere, examine it closely to try and discern if it is a fake overlay.
 
Seems as if gas prices jumped up 20 cents over night. That’s just for starters. Literally, jumped up in the past 12 hours.
I think gas station owners started doing it around 10:30 last night. If not then, they did it first thing this morning when they opened the convenience stores.
 
But this cannot be, as we have been assured on the other thread that Iran is incapable of retaliating in any way and that bombing them was a "free shot" that would have no consequences for us. I guess we'll see.

China can buy more oil from Russia (cheap) and Canada. The oil futures $ will surpass $100/ba. Putin and Exxon will be very happy.

I'm in NOVA right now, so more expensive than most places even when it's cheap. Yesterday I filled my GFs SUV up for 297 at BJ'S. It's now at 307. I suspect it'll go up another 10-12 cents by tomorrow and by 30 cents by Wednesday when I need to head back to Williamsburg to go into the office.

Not really.

The Fifth Fleet is stationed in Bahrain. It is really unlikely the try to close the strait. Also it would be self defeating since their own oil industry uses the strait to export to China.
