I noticed oil prices climbing again in the news because of the Middle East tensions. At work we talk a lot about supply chains, manufacturing costs, and energy efficiency. It made me realise how global events quietly affect even the technical work we do day to day. has anyone else seen the impact yet?

Not direct but watching closely and doing risk assessments. For example, dry ice production depends on petrochemical materials to support. Then all the single use plastics can cause issues. Time will tell but supply chain resilience is back again.

I've only seen the impact at the gas station, but not at work yet. What we're about to learn is that trouble in the Persian Gulf is going to ripple through the entire world. That's what happens in a global economy, there can be domino effects that simply didn't exist decades ago. When everything is running well, it's all good for business. Throw it all into chaos and there's no telling where the impacts may land.

I am anticipating major impacts in my work. To bad that has no affect on my compensation!

In the supply chain, everything is a chain reaction. Some start slowly and affect rapidly, but some start rapidly and affect slowly. At the end, everyone is affected.

So far only travel restrictions

Quietly affect? I'm not seeing the impacts be quiet at all. They are a hot topic of conversation and monitored closely.

Yeah we are at a big desicion point... stop and will be fine but 2-3 more weeks of this and it will be an extremely painful collapse
