Stores shuting downon us

OMG there is a Vons that closed down because they were not able to provide the community with food products. This oil crisis has been jeopardizing my community because the trucks are not able to travel so far. There is an oil shortage and gas prices have been increasing. Now in that same place where Vons was now there is a Fresh and Easy, this store provides fresh products that they produce on their own and they do not need trucks to deliver their food products. For that reason the store does not have a variety of products, it’s like the supply and demand theory, since were limited with products they fluctuate the prices of the products. This is chaotic! Recently I found out that factories have also been shut down because their machinery utilizes so much oil. Many people have lost their jobs because of these shut downs, so it’s not just affecting the businesses but also families. I have observed many businesses shut down, people losing their jobs, many food products running out, etc. I try to do my part by using fewer products that contain oil for example, when ever I go to a grocery store I take my reusable bags instead of using the plastic bags they give out. I try to reuse as much things as possible, and I am limiting my wants if I don’t need it. Yesterday I went to the dentist instead of driving there I decided to take the bus since it was close by. People should start using public transportation instead of driving to where ever you need to go. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE this oil crisis IS SERIOUS. Products that contain a lot of oil are highly increasing in prices compare to the products that do not contain oil, which are cheaper. Many people are replacing their products that contain less oil because they are cheaper and have the same purpose.
