Europe has had for years a different economic base on which to facilitate different systems such as health care and transportation etc. The US, as it has been shown cannot sustain a $5 a gallon price tag. This last mega profits oil company fiasco was devastating to the overall economy. A 5 cent increase in fuel impacts the economy with a 4 billion dollar loss. People stop eating out, drop entertainment, travel, shopping and adhere to the austerity budget of necessity. Shops close and unemployment rises while in my opinion children suffer the most. The trucking industry is now still failing as retailers order less inventory that trucks deliver. Big rigs pay more for gas and retail prices go up. Farmers pay more for fertilizers and pesticides which affect the cost of produce. It's a never ending story of trickle down losses. It's not about me at all. I'm doing very well despite the economic woes of others. I guess that is because I geared my energies towards more sustainable resources that are not based on petroleum or computer technology. However, I do have concern for family, friends and the general public that suffer for corporate greed.
