Re: Global Shortages of Everything
The 9'9999 on the gas stations would be such a sight... xD
In spain, back when we were already hitting the 2€/L mark, we got a 0'20€/L oil tax cut by the government which lowered the prices considerably. In a way, a smart move that prevented people from seeing the 2€/L mark on the price thingies, and when they did, they didn't go crazy because knew it wasn't that bad since a discount was applied later. More of a psichological measure rather than a practical one.
This was supposed to be a temporal measure until the end of June, when they "managed to" (magically i suppose) regulate the prices, or as I say, let people get used to the horrible sight of 2€/L.
Well guess what... We're hitting the 2€/L yet again, with the tax discount still on. And the government said that maybe they'll leave the discount on for a few more months. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. Gasoline is 1'998€/L and the summer price peak hasn't even started.
And all that without mentioning that the price is already preposterous.
