MODERATORS
Theres so many options to fix the current, artificially created crisis.> I agree with you.
As to your question re housing and the effect of oil price rising, I think you answered it when you mentioned supply chains. Imo, construction, like all business, will be affected by a rise in petrol costs e.g. obtaining materials, tools, machinery from overseas, local travel and freight costs. All will be passed on to buyers so I imagine that it will become even more expensive to buy a new home unless govt helps out. In addition, the cost of kitting out a home will be more expensive as all appliances, imported furniture and miscellaneous items will also rise in price. These old men and their wars and power mongering are hurting young people in so many ways. No wonder so many don't want to have children.
