The other part of the problem that is not being addressed is the rule and legislation imposed on companies under Labour and the EU there have been thousands. For business to work it must make a profit. For business to compete against competition it needs to offer it's goods cheaper than the next man and therefore the price should come down to the lowest point it can while making a profit. For every regulation pushed onto a business there is a financial cost involved these costs will reflect in the price that we pay for the goods we buy.

Yes, this is why I run my business from the US these days. The dollar is so weak against the pound I can charge a decent day rate in pounds and it works out as a good amount in $.
We need a massive curtailing of the nanny state laws regulating small business and the stupid tax situation, it is strangling small businesses in the UK.

Things on the other side of the Atlantic are going to get a whole lot worse though since the people who are going to be hit by the energy shock and all the spin off’s that will come with it are going to be gobsmacked by what happens to them.

Maybe in the cities but not so much out in the countryside.
If the hypothetical meltdown hit we could survive at our place here OK. We have plenty of fuel saved up, our water comes out of a natural spring and it does not take much electricity to run the pump. If we had too we could do without the pump. We also have a wood burning stove, and since we are out in the woods here I can walk into the back yard and chop a tree down for fuel if needed.
I agree though the urbanised areas where the poor live would be hit worst much like what happened in Katrina.
