Re: The upsides to high fuel prices
I personally don't see very much good that come out of high fuel prices. I have two neighbors which have SUV's they can't feed. And to make it worse they still have the payments, can't sell them and can't afford another 2nd vehicle.
While some definetly cheer their situation- I do feel for them as their families struggle with making the payments on a vehicle they can hardly use, along with higher natural gas and electricity costs, higher taxes and general cost of living. Surely their choice of vehicle amplifies the problem. I can't just wave my finger in a "Told you so" moment.
Then there's the real possibility of a near 100% collapse of the airline industry, the domino effect on practically all business. But yes, a few will do very good.
