Economists describe demand for oil as inelastic.
When we say inelastic, what we mean is that demand doesn't change very much in response to price.
What am I going to do instead?
Am I going to drive less?
Well, most of what I'm doing to drive, I can't really avoid.
I can't avoid my commute to work.
I can't avoid picking my kids up from school or going to the grocery store.
This is the early stage, right?
Hey, thanks for having me.
Well, my wife and I had a baby, and we were buying all kinds of baby items.
And not just that, we were getting a lot of ads for baby items.
And I just noticed this phrase popping up everywhere, plant-based.
And I was used to seeing plant-based meat in the grocery store and things like that, but not like...
plant-based diapers or plant-based toys or plant-based wipes, just all kinds of things that were plant-based.
And I couldn't figure out why they needed to be plant-based or what the benefit of them being plant-based was.
So I decided I'm a reporter.
I would report it out.
It probably means that there is something in that product that is derived from plants.
And that might be it.
