Inflation here, inflation there! The price of everything is at an all-time high. From the price of food to clothes to household stuffs to petroleum products.

¡Inflación por aquí, inflación por allá! El precio de todo está en su punto más alto. Desde el precio de los alimentos hasta el de la ropa, pasando por el de las cosas del hogar y el de los productos petrolíferos.

Oh well, this post is focusing on the current issue regarding fuel scarcity and hike in its price. Prior to now, fuel scarcity is prevalent around the festive period especially towards Christmas.

Oh, bueno, este post se centra en el tema actual de la escasez de combustible y el aumento de su precio. Hasta ahora, la escasez de combustible es frecuente en el periodo festivo, especialmente en Navidad.

However, all over my country, we have been dealing with the scarcity of fuel and when you eventually find, the price per litre is absurd. Personally, I got lucky a few times I tried to purchase fuel and ended up not queuing for long but still bought fuel at a relatively high amount per litre.

Sin embargo, en todo mi país, hemos estado lidiando con la escasez de combustible y cuando finalmente encuentras, el precio por litro es absurdo. Personalmente, he tenido suerte unas cuantas veces que he intentado comprar combustible y he acabado sin hacer mucha cola, pero aún así he comprado combustible a un precio relativamente alto por litro.

Sigh! I just decided to post something that shows my current struggle this once, which is a shift from my usual fun photos for a change.

¡Suspiro! He decidido publicar algo que muestre mi lucha actual esta vez, que se aleja de mis habituales fotos divertidas para variar.

Are you experiencing any struggle currently? How are you planning to navigate this issue?

¿Estás experimentando alguna lucha actualmente? ¿Cómo piensas sortear este problema?

Sort:  

There's not any struggle here in my country right now but the price of fuel has been skyrocketing three to four times since past three months.

Oh wow.
Do you have an idea why that is the case?

Corruption. If oil corporation goes on loss, they hike the price so that they can get bonus.

Such a crazy capitalist bunch indeed!

Of course, if you had your money in crypto (say hive) pre-pandemic, then even taking into account the 80% drawdown, it still remains ~ 10x from the base - which is more than enough to cover for these incremental increases in life essentials.

Pre-pandemic, I did not even know about Hive.
If I knew about Hive, I don't think I will really be bothered by these incremental increases.

Absolutely - The situation is very unfair because most people do not hold assets which hedge against inflationary pressures we've experienced in the past 2 years or so. (It could have been anything not in cash, not just Hive)

The good thing is, everyone is mostly aware of it now, albeit too late for this macro cycle.

(It could have been anything not in cash, not just Hive)

You told no lies actually.
This is so so true.
Sigh!
At least our eyes are open and we are making better and more informed decisions.
