Off Topic or Other Investing? I dunno.

Maybe this news item could give someone some investing ideas? JR EAST railway (Japan) will raise fares for the first time in THIRTY NINE YEARS.
Jayzuz. Would we not love such a circumstance HERE?????? (Air, train, bus, gas, POSTAGE???)

    Well, with the current oil situation I'd think that the general subject of world-wide inflationary pressures certainly provides good background perspective for "Other Investing".

    Agree. Inflation is a hot topic in light of the tariffs, except for US. We need to pay attention to March’s data as energy cost rises quickly. All transportation cost including airfare and gasoline will rise accordingly. Gasoline has increased over $0.50 a gallon on west cost.
