For some perspective... Singapore's primary airport handles roughly the same amount of traffic as LAX and suddenly fuel prices are 3x what they were a week ago. You cannot scale at that cost. Americans face high gas prices. The rest of the world is going to face shortages and shutdowns.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Breaking news: The Army abruptly canceled a major training exercise, officials said, fueling speculation within the Defense Department that soldiers specializing in ground combat and a range of other missions may be sent to the Middle East.
