2018-06-04 at 5:51 PM UTCHere in Texas for example when the bottom fell out of the oil market all kinds of industries were hit negatively as well of course as job losses.
A friend of mine for example has a metal fabrication business and a lot of his business was from the oil industry...pipes, valves etc etc...when the oil industry gets hit hard, all the ancillary companies/businesses etc get hit hard too...and it follows the businesses to those ancillary companies also suffer...shit rolls downhill etc.
Lots of businesses suffer or fold when the price of gas (maybe I should have said oil) falls.
As another example...public transport usage goes up when gas prices climb. -

your point is the same one shilled by the oil-companies.
youre describing a single, small, portion of the overall aggregate economy. yes, directly-related businesses would be adversely affected but they are a minuscule portion of the economy as a whole and their loss is an exponential gain everywhere else.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Again higher gas prices (re: oil prices) is indicative of a healthy economy when added to the many other economic factors I listed. -

that means the gas prices during the early 70s were indicative of a healthy economy.

your 'other factors' are directly related to the price of oil/the oil industry making them irrelevant to my point as well as their relevance in the overall economy.
the fact is fossil fuels used in transportation are an expense, the cost of which is not of benefit to anyone but a small, limited industry -
