And I'm trying to figure out what is realistic and what isn't.
I don't think that scenario is going to happen. Some prices will go up but Trump's not going to win a war of attrition with Iran. He's going to quit and then say we won and accomplished great things.
TACO 4evah.

Yeah, but timing is an issue. We get a big chunk of our fertilizer through the Straits of Hormuz, and crops need it sooner than later. I expect the US will get hit with higher food prices, but people in resource limited countries may see some food problems.

That's true, but we're not in a resource limited country. It will continue to make things more costly but there shouldn't be any need for panic hoarding. Having lived poor I can vouch that you can get by on beans and rice for a pretty long time.
My coworker who had a miscarriage after a surprise pregnancy last year is pregnant again. This time it was planned. She just showed me ultrasound pictures and I asked her if they had a nickname yet and told her how Princess Tickybox got her nickname
How is Tickybox 21?! Wow. Time is weird.
I’m at the dentist. I think I cracked a tooth a while ago - noticed it felt different like a gap where there didn’t used to be a gap and more sharpness than felt familiar to my tongue but it didn’t, like, hurt so I just ignored it. Well, now it hurts and there’s some swelling, so, dentist. My appointment was for ten minutes ago and I got here half an hour early to fill out paperwork (is it still paperwork when it is on an iPad? I think it is) so I may run out of ability to entertain myself…
Half hour past my appointment time…
-t I hope someone gets you back soon. I hate having to wait for a doctor or a dentist.
No word yet. I can overhear them sounding like they are trying to rearrange the schedule, something must have happened. But I’m just waiting.
Aha, eavesdropping tells me they are short handed by two assistants.
