As the US-Israel war with Iran approaches its third month, countries around the world are increasingly worried about oil and gas supplies. Some 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz in normal times, and nations that rely on this supply have been experiencing shortages, long lines at fuel stations and skyrocketing prices. As summer travel nears, what will happen to the rest of the world? This week on Everybody’s Business from Bloomberg Businessweek, hosts Stacey Vanek Smith and Max Chafkin talk with economist Michelle Brouhard, head of policy and geopolitical risk at Kpler. Brouhard says the jet fuel and gasoline situation is getting dire, and turns to an Ernest Hemingway quote about bankruptcy to describe what’s coming, and how it will happen. She warns that more canceled flights are likely if the conflict continues. In developing economies like Egypt and Colombia, it will be much worse: There will be cuts in emergency services and basic utilities. Later, Max and Stacey talk concert tickets with Bloomberg News reporter Ashley Carman. The antitrust trial of Live Nation and Ticketmaster surfaced some especially damning emails in which Live Nation employees talk about robbing customers blind with fees and extra charges. Still, a court case probably won’t bring the cost of your tickets down. Listen and subscribe on Apple, Spotify, iHeart and the Bloomberg Terminal.
