Some folks in parts of the world are very reliant on gasoline, while some are more dependent on electric. Petroleum based products however are still in absurd demand by almost all parties. How do you stand to fair if the oil situation continues to worsen? Plastics. Nylon. Jet fuel. Tires. Asphalt. To name just a few things that heavily rely on oil byproduct.

    Yeah, food is still often shipped with petroleum based products even if they aren’t used in the product itself directly. I’m not even talking about the plastic in the boxes or bags as much as the tires on the trucks, the diesel in their tanks, the asphalt they drive on, as they criss-cross the country delivering food.
