It is not at all clear, however, that consumers in oil importing countries can really withstand higher prices. The fact that Brent oil prices could only stay above $70 per barrel for one week on Figure 2 (in the red circle), suggests that consumers in major oil importing countries cannot ...
I rented a small place that has a kitchen, a heated pool, washer/dryer and is walkable to lots of restaurants & shops. This will make for easy meals and entertainment. 3. I cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot which will give the whole family two dinners and a lunch. We may also...
