Covid might just impose the toughest sanctions on Russia by tanking oil prices and keep China from getting involved.

(25,816 posts)15. Yeah, prices went up at the pump when the gas stations still had full tanks of cheaper gas,
before the price per barrel went up. Now when the price per barrel has fallen about 25%, the gas
prices stay high. Greed is a powerful and evil motivator.

Never saw that happen before. I assumed they adjusted that at night if I'd ever given it any thought at all.
