Discuss basic business economics and rising oil prices in this post.

[Ihaman]

Alright, here's what I assume.


With gas prices rising 20 cents per year we're going to start facing another deflation of the dollar..meaning in order for businesses to compensate for commerce and shipping of their goods they're going to have to pay more for non-human resources...meaning they're going to have to lay off some people to pay for the gasoline it takes to ship.

Alright, lay off, spend more money on gasoline which in turn goes to OPEC and pays who?
Well, the people who buy them as fungible goods, who are in turn using their money for what?

To Buy houses and goods at inflated rates.


Houses: In order to make up for the economic crisis (and to pay for gasoline) landowners are forced to sell their property for more money.

Goods at inflated rates: In order to ship the goods and still maintain a surplus, the business must charge more money for goods.




What does this mean to you and I?

It means things are expensive, our dollar is worth less than it was a year ago, and we don't have work.



Where/how does/should the government come into play?


Skyrocket interest rates?

Hey assface macshutuperson, I'm not trying to make a dent in society's thinking...I'm trying to see what people here think about our situation and if anyone can offer any opinions or predictions about where we're headed.

Because it's up to me to get rich and the only way I can think to do that right now is through economics.

Lol@ the irony of

YOU MAKING THE COMMENT THAT THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY ARE REPETITIVE AND REDUNDANT.


Rethink your argument and comeback to me when you don't sound like a hypocritical asshat.

repetitive and redundant, clever. and i can still make the argument that you are obnoxious while being obnoxious myself. in fact i'm probably better positioned to make that call.

anyhow the main point i'm trying to make isn't even that. it's that you're a two-bit jackass who's time is better spent designing rave flyers than trying to discuss economics

you know, we could just claim the oil, or tell them we are buying it at a reduced price unti lthey figure out what to do with the money that is supposed to be going to the people. it could be like our thank you gift for helping them so much
