In the next 90 days, the price of your iPhone is going up. So is your car. So is the wiring in your walls.
Not because of inflation.
Not because of tariffs.
Because a war 7,000 miles away is breaking the system that builds everything.
This isn’t an oil story.
It’s a supply chain story.
Sulfur stops moving.
Chemicals get rationed.
Copper and cobalt production slows.
And suddenly, the cost of building the modern world starts rising.
Most people think the U.S. is protected because it has energy.
That’s the wrong model.
A modern economy doesn’t run on oil alone. It runs on thousands of inputs—most of which it doesn’t produce anymore.
Break one link, and the whole system tightens.
That’s what you’re watching happen now.
