Sure, but its a tiny fraction of the total cost and diesel has only gone up a little bit. So maybe my oats cost a single penny more now? Oh no, they barely cost anything anyway.
Wew lad. It was 3.70 one year ago. Now it’s averaging 6.20 in the US. That’s a 60% increase.

My guy, you are in for the worst shock of your life within the next 6 months, lol. You are so blissfully unaware I honestly don’t want to pop that bubble. I hope you have a good week.

Heard that one before. Diesel has only gone up 40% here in the UK. Even if diesel was 100% of the cost (it isn’t), that’s a 40% increase in my oats? I mean realistically I would notice it in the shop and then continue to not care. Still doesn’t really sound like that big of a problem compared to the cost of housing tbh.
Quick edit: mentioned before about house pricing potentially dropping/stagnating here, is that happening elsewhere or is it still rising uncontrollably? Still short term but I hope it spreads into a longer term trend everywhere as that seems like it would help people a lot.
Maybe your just really really really bad at noticing things. maybe “but it’s not happening to me personally” is a terrible and inaccurate assessment of the global economy. Just food for thought.
I have noticed where all my money goes throughout my life, and its not oil or products which require it. Its banks and landlords due to the high cost of housing.
it’s only a 40% increase in the price of every good that requires transportation
No, it isn’t. Fuel isn’t 100% of the cost of products, it isn’t even 100% of the cost of transporting them as you have workers and maintenance costs too. Fuel is actually a pretty minor cost of products overall.
Literally every single thing that consumers use on a daily basis needs diesel to get to them. Oil goes up, diesel goes up, everything goes up.

No, it is a large portion of the total cost.

No, it’s a 3.5% increase cost in your oats based on inflation numbers.
It’s not a lot, but for some people that’s the difference between having oats today or having hunger for breakfast.
You’re really out of touch with how precarious people’s lives are.

Unless he’s living unabomber style in a shack in the woods I’m sure he’ll figure it out pretty soon, lol.

Right, it’s only a 40% increase in the price of every good that requires transportation
Before you factor in corporations taking advantage of the demand to gouge prices, which as surely as the sun rises, they will.
Don’t forget a 40% increase in the price of transporting fuel, which means fuel transport is less profitable which then has knock on effects as well
No, it isn’t. Fuel isn’t 100% of the cost of products, it isn’t even 100% of the cost of transporting them as you have workers and maintenance costs too. Fuel is actually a pretty minor cost of products overall.
I dunno if this will put things in perspective, but this is by far the worst oil shock in history, lol.
I don’t buy oil though, and as I said already housing is vastly more expensive than anything else. Oil isnt making housing more expensive.
I hope that guy doesn’t have any dependents 😂
Please stop lmfao, that’s too funny Hahaha.
