And diesel prices (which underpin essentially all industry and production) have gone even more brrrrrrrrrr. Which means just about everything else will be shooting up in price soon if the strait remains closed…
Reminds me of the first episode of Smiling Friends when one of the main character’s father starts complaining about working in the ‘bloody mines all day’.
And much of the world’s fertilizer is shipped out of the strait of hormuz,and it’s currently spring, when fields would be getting fertilized right now. So food prices will jump too, and crop yields will be Lower

Right its crazy.
We have diesel for Aud$2.42 a litre where I am.
A week ago it was $1.84
I repair the machines that unload boats at the port, some of those hold 12000 litres of diesel and use 3/4 of it unloading a container ship.
Just that volume alone will effect the cost of shit
Fuck that sounds like a cool job.
It’s not bad, rough on the body though. It’s pretty clean in comparison to mine site work in the dirt though

In Australia you can make a great living from it if you can handle the sacrifices you make.
Away from home for 3 to 4 weeks at a time 12 hour shifts with half hour travel each way to and from camp ontop.
Most places you do your own laundry but meals are provided.
Most of the jobs are also in the hottest most remote parts of Australia too where temperatures routinely reach the high 40s.
But you do that and can earn over 200k a year with just an apprenticeship behind you
Not a bad wage for that kind of work. Kinda like working as a merchant marine.
Yeah it’s good but it kills families etc but people who make it work are well off, or you do a few years and set yourself up.
