Are any of you old enough to remember the highest gasoline prices Americans have ever known?
Yes, my friends, the Carter years. Inflation adjusted, we haven't seen the like yet.
Carter pissed off Persia, you see. The Grand Ayatollah gained power and began a murderous purge of the dissident population after deposing the Shah. Their entire oil industry went on strike, and Americans LOST OVER NIGHT a nation that sold us 25% of our oil products.
Gas lines as long as immigration office lines are today.
Oil price soared (yes, Vito, without commodities traders).
Who was it that saved us from those times? Ronaldus Magnus, the president who saw oil selling at $12 per barrell in the early 80s.
