I think you’re right LA_Renter. Everything keeps going up and up because of the cost of oil. I’m in manufacturing, and everything is affected. I’m getting ready to tell my two biggest customers to expect an increase.
Question: how come corrosion of pipes wasn’t noticed earlier? And how come the supply has to completely stop? Aren’t there contingencey plans in place? Or do big oil companies making big bucks not care if production goes down for a while? Corrosion takes ages to form. Wouldn’t field inspectors notice corrosion before it got to a point that the whole spigot has to be turned off?
It’s almost like CA is being tested to see how much shock we can absorb to our economic system. Based on how we do, they can roll out higher oil prices to the rest of the country. Geez, I’m getting so cynical.
