Episode Description
Does your band have a van? A bus? An 84 Oldsmobile? Our guess is yes. In which case, you’re hurting right now. And we don’t mean from banging your head. We’re talking about the pain at the pump. You don’t need to imagine what it’s like, about to head to a show, looking at the numbers going up and up on unleaded gasoline and wondering to yourself, “Why the f@&$ is this so expensive?!”
On this episode of METALOMICS, we try to answer that question. We’re digging deep on oil. What is it, why do we rely on foreign countries for it despite pumping plenty of it right here in the U.S., and why does literally everything else get more expensive when the price of oil goes up? If you think elasticity, supply and demand, and inflation are heavy concepts, then this is an episode you don’t wanna miss.
Economics is Metal!
