The price of petrol will be hurting the boy racers far more than making their cars more expensive. You can't get a loan for a tank of gas. |

But then they'd have to actually think about what to print. Might even have to get off their collective bums and do some old-fashioned journalism!!! |

Essentially everything electronic has copper in it... so that could be an issue too. Although if we reach a global depression first I guess we won't be able to afford gadgets anymore, so that shouldn't be so much of an issue. You can see a lot more people are cycling in Wellington over the last few years. |
