Due to Covid many of us probably drive a lot less (working from home) so gasoline prices are not a big deal. However people in service sector jobs are likely affected by fuel costs.
Do you have any stats on this? As I have read (casually) trucking has been 60-80% of consumer goods delivery (end-to-end), and only in the last 3-5 years has rail started picking up long haul freight, as shipping dry goods like coal has become less lucrative.
this really is a "let them eat cake" sort of attitude.
its really shocking just how far detached most HNers are from logistics that is hidden. literally the comfort we enjoy is run by people who don't work from home, who are most impacted by prices.
The drastically increasing cost of rent, even in areas with lots of land, good Internet, an very few building restrictions has a much higher impact for most people then the price of gas.
I was referring to White House advise on dealing with gas prices.
For rent. Oh I’m feeling that myself. Finally got the point of, let’s move prices are insane. Nothing in a safe area that’s affordable for 50 miles. Minimal in high crime areas.
A house near me that is slightly less then mine just sold for 100k+ more than typical for this area. Nothing special about it or my house, good Internet, lots of empty land, little building restrictions, no HOA.
