Let’s see, prices are dropping on coffee, oats, sugar, and orange juice.... so basically old people food is super cheap now.

  The demand is dropping. Like McDonald's, people are realizing how unhealthy that shit in its ultra-industrialized form, is.

Gasoline has gone up, but crude oil is down.

I wonder what excuses our oil company overlords will tell us?

  They will tell you that it is too bad your car cannot run on crude oil, sucka.
  
  But I assume it really has something to do with the failure to build new refineries to keep up with demand, or something like that. Also, Daddy needs a new Maserati this year.

Your gas prices are going to go up. All of northern Alberta is literally on fire and has been for months. As of May Alberta had dropped 10% of its oil and gas production due to plant shut down because of wildfires in the area which make production and transport to dangerous and now there are over 100 wildfires burning throughout key oil and gas development sectors. When production drops in one of the world's key production sectors inflation is a given.

  That’s assuming there’s no overhang in supply, but according to the IEA there’s 2 million barrels extra each day than consumption.

  there are also corporations involved. The fires threaten to damage entire sites, networks of pipelines, plants... Companies are trying to avoid catastrophe People are being evacuated which means they are being flown in and out which costs companies and These things inflate prices.

The loss (profit?) leader for gas: California. For those not in the know, this state requires a gasoline blend that is not required by any other state; for that reason, refining is limited to only those refineries dedicated to those California blends (big shock: they’re actually located in California), so “just bring in more gas” isn’t an option. Not coincidentally, the oil and gas industry had some refinery problems this year , further choking supplies. Right now, the per-gallon price of gas in the biggest state is nearly $1.10 higher than the national average; here in the Greater LA area, it’s a $1.50 higher.

“Who would want decent mass transit when you can drive anywhere?” wonder idiots from the past. “Driving is cool and good.”

  Sure, the obvious solution isn’t to change the blend (simple), but to spend trillions on making a large state run on public transportation.

  33.5 million of the 38.8 million Californians live in 20 discrete Metropolitan Statistical Areas—and several of those MSAs are literally abutting one another, like in Greater Los Angeles (three), and the Bay Area (six). That kind of population concentration lends itself to mass transit, not a bunch of freeways and over-developed surface streets laid out like a fuckin asphalt Pollock installation.

I am so close to giving up on grocery shopping - I’m a single person, live alone, cook only for my self, and food prices are just too expensive. Everything at the markets seem to be designed around the purchasing power and preference of a family. I don’t live like that, and often the total comes out to be way too much, and most of it ends up going to waste.

Every time I go to the grocery store I lose, and end up driving my self to being nearly broke. My point is, prices are ridiculous all over right now.

That’s unpossible. I was told that the mere possibility of an Iran nuke deal would plunge oil prices into the single digits and usher in a new harmonious wondertime in which the world takes hands and sings Uptown Funk. I demand that you rescind these obvious lies, Mr. Nolan!

  The Washington Post ran a story this evening discussing the plummeting crude prices due to Iran, Saudi production, decreased demand from China, etc. The Alberta fires are not going to affect prices much because Saudi Arabia is flooding the market in an effort to stunt the shale industry. So...we will see what happens at the pump. (I wonder, if gas prices fall low enough will Putin’s puffed up head finally explode?)

Gasoline has gone up, but crude has gone down. I actually find that number for crude suspect, I thought it had gone down much more than that. So, if crude is down, why is gas up?
