I don't know how many of you have noticed, but the price for a barrel of crude has now creeped above $78, less than $2 away from that until - now - only - talked - about $80 mark. With that said, do you realize that if some sort of major geo - political event took place and suddenly drove the price up to $125 a barrel, the U. S. economy would be destroyed overnight? Now, I know the that the price we pay at the pump is largely market driven. But, don't these greedy b******* who control these markets realize that if they destroy the economy, there won't be a market left for them to manipulate? And furthermore, do you think they even care? Afterall, most of them have already made their millions on the backs of the everyday consumer. But, I guess, they just want more and more, huh?

95% of the World population uses the metric system and ISO Standards (like paper size, time and date notation, etc.) which the USA does not want to use.
If the USA does care for doing business outside the USA, why does it not convert to metric?
On the long term, not doing it would cost many jobs, and would be more expensive than the cost for converting to metric units as soon as possible, don't you think?
It looks to me as as if the USA is isolating itself.

So it has always been on my mind. Why is it that the European, North American and some of the Far Eastern Nations are the most advanced Nations int the world. The Nations of Africa, Latin America, and South Eastern Nations are the poorest Nations in the world. Why is that?, and from your point of expertiese what could the poor countries do say Nigeria or Bhurma do to be with the big economic countries like the US, and all the other developed countries in the world?

The Indian currency is growing steadily. Yet our currency can be revalued almost to a dollar. Quite similarily Turkey has revalued its currency from 1 million turkish lira to a new turkish lira having a rate of 1 dollar = 1.25 turkish lira at the moment.

Do you think such measures can help the indian economy?

Post your comments.

I am currently a senior to be in high school, so as of right now, I plan on going to a college/university and extending my education. This way, I will be able to acquire a higher paying job (don't get me wrong, money is not everything, but the price of living is on the rise) to support myself and to live happily; as long as my family and myself are happy and healthy though, I'm good!

Anyhow, how do YOU prepare on handling the increasing cost of living (inflation)?
