As the war on Iran enters its ninth month, the price of oil continues to rise, but the crude itself is no longer the best measure of the economic troubles.
public transportation is not always a viable option if you live outside of the big cities.
Yea that’s the case here as well. I am just fortunate to live in an apartment in a city with good personal finances and own no car, so I am sheltered from most expenses that might rise as immediate consequence of the war: gas and mortgage. I feel like people have grown indifferent to the ever rising costs since the pandemic. In my conversations with people I mostly get shrugs or surprised looks when I ask if they think the current Iran war is a driving factor behind costs. So it was more this sentiment I was thinking of.
