like those bombs aren't enough now the common people will have to deal with the inflation, more layoffs and problems.
The cost of living is already a hell on earth nowadays and it's only skyrocketing from here. As you know oil is catching up some heat and rallying hard because of the entire middle east situation.
Now we'll experience more inflation and the first bombshell of inflation has already happened here in my place.
Are those petrol stations running out already?
While I was coming back to home from work I saw traffic pretty much everywhere especially at the petrol stations aka gas stations for the boomers in the US.
Anyways, I knew oil thing will escalate fast and everyone will rush to get it at some point to save some pennies.
Guess what? They were all really in lines to get fuel from those stations and lines were nuts like you'll have to wait for more than hour to get your turn and even when you get your turn
Most of those petrol stations wouldn't let you fill your tank, you'll only get some of it, they've set limits on it.
And that's not worse, the worst was that most of gas stations were closed. Because that's how deep corruption runs here.
Gas stations Making easy money isn't crime
Every single time whenever there's a hike expected to happen for gas/petrol what these gas stations would do is stop selling at those current outdated prices to public
While public rush to stations to get their tank fill before the hike comes in
But those petrol stations owner would never let you get your tanks fill at those outdated prices so they'd close it down although it's illegal but no one cares
And once the hike comes in, government officially announce the hike in price, they'll open the station and people will get their gas for those new prices.
Easy money, and it happens every single time like it happened today.
55 RS hike in petrol and diesel prices is insane
So the prices have been increased by 55rs and this is the highest hike I've seen in a long time
Everyone saw it coming because of the war so the government thought it's time to do it as people are ready for it
People were seen hoarding petrol for the first time in the long time, haven't seen situation like this in probably last 5 years.
There's pretty much panic that we don't have much reserve left and we'll run out of petrol but it's all shit and I'm damn sure nothing will happen
Reserves are there, government will sell that old one for higher price and profit of the common working class people.
While no government officially pays for a single penny to get their tanks filled. Literally it's a privilege for those governments officials while making it miserable for people.
From tomorrow fares will increase I don't know how much but it'll come in as hot as the hike we have got.
Groceries and other stuff is also going to go nuts.
People are going to hoard things and it'll create more instability and inflation is here to kick our ass just when you thought we'll save some. There goes all your money again.
Wonder what's the current situation in your country, do share in the comments.
that's all folks.
