a rising interest rate environment plus rising gas prices, a perfect storm...

Luckily i added a flex fuel kit on my car to run on cheap e85 while I wait out these insane 7 dollar gas prices where i live.

I don't appreciate the argument that high gas prices when oil is down is due to hedging and high variability. That's essentially profiteering. They want to make more profit now in case they have to make less profit in the future. Why can't gas stations charge me the price they paid for the gas + markup instead of what volatile price they might have to pay to replace that gas?

Groceries in German actually didn’t get any more expensive at all 🤷🏽‍♂️Just energy

[eShankes]

Hey kyla, I was curious if you have seen the masterworks sponsorships on some financial creators. What do you think about the company trying to bring fine art investment to the masses. Would love to hear your thoughts about it. thanks

Not gouging. Hard to gouge on a commodity. Prices are from a government unwilling to realize oil is the life blood of the world. We go back into the stone ages without oil. The US government, if it got is head out of its rear, would do everything it could to produce as much oil as possible. Cheap energy would be an economic savior. If the people in office want to gain a lot of love and votes, they ought to make oil cheap. And yes, the US government has the means to make it possible. They just don’t care.

Why not both? Geopolitics is all about gouging us plebs and squeezing more life out of us.

Maybe demanding high returns on investment no matter what the cost is not great? Maybe running an entire society on stock investment yields is unsustainable and creates bad incentives? Nope, that can't be it, its just all these bad actors in the system.

[DanteM-umfe]

i love how u can be irreverent about the rules of economics while sincerely believing that understanding this all is important.

[brianrachmat]

If only US and Europe dont have to blockade Russia economic, maybe people all over the world dont have to suffer more, just my opinion.
