UK Inflation 10.1% Highest in the EU
« on: April 20, 2023, 11:52:00 AM »
As you read further into the article "they" blame the inflation rate on the cost of natural gas.

Quote
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's unwanted status as the only large advanced economy still to have double-digit inflation represents just one symptom of the serious economic malaise faced by the country.

Annual consumer price inflation (CPI) in Britain fell to 10.1% last month but defied forecasts for a bigger drop from February's 10.4%, according to data published on Wednesday. - MSN

Gasoline around me is up about 30 cents per gallon in about the last week.  In the $3.50 area and I would not be surprised see it at $4 to $4.25/gal by mid summer.

Hang on, thats when things will really get bumpy.

Really bad part is we have two trips to Nags Head for the summer.  Towing a camper so its about 10 miles per gallon.  Good part is the campground is at Oregon Inlet National Park and W/E hookup is $21 a night.

Getting there and back is likely to be more expensive than staying and eating while there.

Just finished watched footage from a "storm chaser", brave (foolish?) souls reporting from the thick of a tornado.   The debris hurtling about, the loose things sweeping by, the formerly solid things becoming "loose things".    Perhaps a good facsimile for economy around us now.   Our preps being the analog of a storm shelter.
I would not contemplate driving into town for groceries when a tornado was upon me.   And I am not making plans for any road trips because of fuel prices - this does impinge on my freedom of choice, because several activities (mainly dog breeding/judging) were tied to this.
Can't change the weather?   OK, at least prepare for it.
