I have been wondering the same thing. People have been crying about the price of gasoline for some time but wait until they have to pay the energy bill after a heat wave. On a side note….listening to people whine about the price of gas is akin to listening to people whine about politics when they don’t vote.
The first time I visited my friend in his McMansion, I couldn’t get over how much dead space there was throughout the house. Vaulted ceilings may look nice but the cost of energy to maintain a constant temperature must be horrific.
Salaries aren’t going up much but the price of gasoline and energy seem to have volatile ceilings and with inflation looming and rising interest rates to fight inflation…..anyone else here seeing a wicked negative feedback loop?
