oil price
Big Donkey Balls asked:


When listening to the news, the media outlets always seem to rejoice when oil prices increase, and lament when they decrease. Do they do this assuming that everyone out there has invested their money on oil? I can’t think of any reason why America in general would benefit from rising oil prices (environmental aspects taken out of the argument).

      They think the underlying reason is economic growth, causing demand to increase, causing the price increase.

      The reality is it’s just inflation.
