Dear friends, do you feel that going to the gas station recently is like participating in a silent money grabbing war? That's right, just when we are still immersed in the joy of the good news of zero tariff on crude oil of Putin the Great, the oil price has jumped up as if it has been beaten with chicken blood, which can't help but make me cry without style when I hold my deflated wallet.
Speaking of this oil price, it is really love-hate at the same time. What we love is that it brings convenience to our travel, and what we hate is that it adds uncertainty to our lives like a time bomb. Every time I see that beating number, I can feel my heart dancing with it – a feeling of chilling from the inside out.
Don't say I'm exaggerating, it's even harder than heaven to refuel now! Every time you drive to the gas station, you have to do enough psychological construction, "add 200 today", and then silently say to yourself: "Persistence is victory." "When the goose arrived at the place, he looked at the price card, and his heart pierced - the brother could only stare dryly.??
I remember going to the gas station and chatting and joking with the staff. And now what about going straight to the point as soon as you enter the door: "Come 200." They're used to it, too, "Okay!" fast, precise, and emotionless. As if to say: "Lao Tie, there's no need to pretend, I know you're bitter." ”??
And have you noticed? Every time the price of oil goes up, there are always some mysterious forces that tell us that this wave of price increases has little impact on each of us. Forehead... I'd like to ask this brother, do you own an oil refinery, or do you just come back from the moon and don't know what is happening on Earth???
But then again, in the face of price increases, we ordinary people are indeed quite helpless. Leaving aside the "three barrels of oil" routine and the irony of the executives' "huge sacrifices" (cough cough), we can only try to find those small blessings in life.
For example, if you pick up five dollars on the side of the road, your employer suddenly decides to give you a benefit, or a friend suddenly invites you to a big meal—although the little money saved may not even add up to half a tank of gas, at least it gives yourself a warm hug on a mental level. (Although the body is still cold and thin)??
But even so, it is becoming increasingly important to find a balance between economic pressures and environmental responsibility. Electric vehicles are gradually becoming the new choice, and bicycle sharing and public transportation are being advocated as new modes of travel. In other words: if we can't change the rules of the game, at least we can try to change the way we play.
Finally, I want to tell you: In the face of rising prices, the head is as hard as a rock, and the country will always maintain a leading position (manual smile)?? Remain optimistic and actively look for solutions. After all, life has to go on, right? Let's leave tears and put away our wallets and start again!? P.S.
