It’s Not Just a Putin Problem

It’s going to be a problem downstream.

I talk about history a lot.

Our history, not what happened two hundred years ago.

What happened ten years ago.

Or in this case, 2008.

That’s the last time gas popped over $4 a gallon.

If people are paying $20 more per week to put into their gas tanks, that’s twenty bucks that won’t go anywhere else.

Not to McDonald’s or Proctor and Gamble or Wal Mart.

And yet, Roadhouse has an hour and a half wait for people to spend $80 on steaks and fries and peanuts you can shell at the table and sweep on the floor.

I didn’t go. Some friends did and told me about it.

He said people were acting like this isn’t a problem.

And I wondered if we do that a lot.

The whole head in the sand solution.

I think we do.

I think we are.

I’m not sure how to tell people about it.

That by next Fall, it might be brutal, and people are going to be in shock.

Then I wonder if it’s all not just a ploy.
