Actually the high cost of oil is not a one person problem but rather it affects everyone wether rich or poor when the oil is sold costly it's everyone's problem because should I say 98% of every products you see today in one way or the other has passed through this petroleum process, be it food, clothes vehicles and even water and the petrol itself must need oil to be refined.
yup that is right
because oil is used for transportation and production so it is expected that all living expenses will also rise if oil keeps rising in price hence why the government should plan very carefully they tend to control and ease the prices of food for example for as long as they can
they also store reserve oil for when times like this come
Now after all these processes every person must still use money to purchase it.
So in conclusion high cost of oil is everyone's problem.
it is but there are regions where oil come from which are to blame for high prices some of them are raising their prices while some are in war affecting the supply that is being distributed to other countries
those countries with no oil must start planning where they will get it in case all falls and the prices are way too expensive to afford
