past few months. that economic pain is putting a dent in what is traditionally the busiest travel time of the year. and it s not just about how much it costs to get where you re going, it s the cost of doing the stuff you want to do, when you do get where you re going. nbc s shaq brewster is in chicago covering this for us. shaq, good to see you. hi, there, hallie. you re seeing many of these increased costs being passed down to consumers, especially in the tourism industry. we re talking about things like fuel surcharges, later start times for things like water taxis and this is multiple boat operators across the country, telling us that they re even slowing down the speed in which they re traveling, relying more on the current to help defray and help them deal with the impact of those higher fuel costs. one tour operators telling us that compared to last year, they re spending 54% more on the cost of fuel than they did just a year ago, hallie. and those cost increases are something
of gross annual revenues over one hundred grandnd a year, that means pretty much everybodyvery in the country mut now obey elizabeth warren. that meansns elizabeth warren read the power to save sethahe the price of, say, diesel fuel. that s what we use to fuel trucks that transport virtually everything that you buy orr consume the entire u.s. economy depends on diesel. as cbs reported recently, diesel prices are getting close to the point where truckers can t work anymore. whyhe producing fuel prices is like six dollars thirty 39 cents a gallon. imagine paying that for a fill up of more than one hundred a gallon of regular fill up would have been just say six months ago, about seven hundred dollars. now it s about a thousand. it s what truckers are facing across the country for diesel and you re paying the price according to oil analystst tom kloza. if you re ordering anything that moves by freight across country, it becomes the fuel
comes via the fuel surcharges, probably not the worst of the diesel surcharges, that will come next month. i just don t think there is any magic bullet at the moment. it s going to be tough. it is going to be a tough summer. tucker: so most projections suggest this and by this, we mean the price of energy, is going to get worse, and that is exactly what elizabeth one is counting on, you re suffering. she hopes americans get so desperate that they go to her to set the price of diesel as well as everything bought or sold in the united states economy and when that happens, what happens? interesting question, so at this point, a lot of money is floating around the u.s. economy and that is because of government spending. the federal reserve prints money, goes to the banks, and then it filters down to wall street and they buy bigger houses. and at the same time, supplies of essential goods are very limited so when you impose price controls in that kind of environment, anyone, anyone? b
0 serious dude you should really ringcentral. i was thinking oh i see we were just talking about you. yeah you should probably get out of here about the good evening and welcome to a special edition of tucker carlsonwe tonight . when was the last time you heard a democratic politician propose a solution to a problem no matter what the problem is that didn t make the democratic party more powerful. ponder that for a moment. polet s say, for example, that you really believe global warming was an existentialal g threat to humanity and that rising carbon dioxide levels were causing global warming. what would you do to fix it? well, you might think back to grade biology class co2, co2 don t trees consume huge amounts of co2 for photosynthesis? quick google check. why, yes, they do. so how about we plant a whole lot more trees all across the country and across the world? that seems like a natural solutionon with lots of upside s trees are beautiful. it might help fight globalig warming. oh
into immingham and then it s brought by road into grimsby. so, the fuel charges, there has been fuel surcharges all the way along to get the fish here. once the fish is here, obviously, the fish market itself is chilled, we ve got refrigeration, we ve got ice making machinery, we ve got grading equipment, everything is run with electricity, so we ve seen a marked increase in the cost of operation, and that has had an effect basically on the bottom line, which is profit. and what we ve got to do is work out at what point do we actually have to jack up the prices and pass on those costs? 0n the latest figures, prices are rising more than twice as fast as wages. workers are finding the average wage buys less than a year ago. when your bills are going up, you re noticing you ve got less money every week, expendable cash every week, out of your wages. your gas has gone up, your electric has gone up, everything has gone up in your house. your petrol. the global cost of energy
