I've seen many posts on social media about how some people believe they are largely unaffected because they own an electric vehicle. However one must bear in mind a lack of diesel in particular affects everyone from the food delivered to the supermarket, public transport, through to the deliveries to the power stations. Not to mention the inflation that increasing energy costs permeate throughout all of society from the coffee you buy, to wage inflation to cover the coffee "growth". A vicious self reinforcing cycle. Especially so when a lot of the western world is currently experiencing a level of stagflation.
Shit could go bad pretty quick if this continues for months.
Trump doesn't seem too worried, although I bet there are quite a few people currently holding his feet to the fire over this monumental fuck up.
