Wow, I wish I bought gas yesterday!

It was $1.71.

Today it's $1.89.

Prices of food is up because of fertilizer, containment, storage, and transportation costs - all of which revolve around plastic, gas, or oil-based products.

We're in a shit economy. The last thing somebody would want to do is make it worse by inflating prices. Indeed, the one thing the mass ass media has admitted to is that "when demand goes up, so does gas". That's true. And, amusingly, they say it in a way that suggests there is no crisis afoot. But with the theory of peak oil; after a certain point, "production" (COLLECTION) becomes more difficult - as a result, with our current use of the stuff, there is no such thing anymore as a freeflowing cheap source of readily available energy. The party's over, it's hangover time. And after the hangover is the reality that the party gave you liver failure and AIDS because you did the iggy giggy with greedy vermin.

Has peak oil come and gone, and we're just beginning to see the aftereffects?
