Nearly $2,000. By my calculation, that is what the Iran war has cost the average American household since the war began nearly eight months ago. Nationwide, that adds up to $265 billion.

“You’re not gonna like the outcome of this, sir. I guarantee you’re not going to like the outcome,” Lagunas tells the driver. “Go home to your children. It’s Sunday. You did not learn from what just happened? Go home to your kids.”
