Waking up to the news that this weekend gas prices could rise to $5 a gallon was just another thing that made me wonder how great we will become. There are other things that make me question like the treatment of people of color, but this affects everyone. E-ve-ry-one. If this rise happens and continues through the summer we will experience
- Increased food costs
- Increased utility bills
- Increased clothing costs; Anything that has to be transported.
- Reduced vacation opportunities
- Reduced income in tourist dependent cities
- Reduced employment i.e. layoffs in those tourist dependent communities.
- Potentially an increase in hunger and homelessnes
Okay now I am getting depressed. Can someone please tell me how this direction is making us great? Our allies feel betrayed. Large consumer markets are in jeopardy like China. I have a lot of smart friends. Can you help me see it please?
