The owner of an Italian ice company has been affected by the surge in oil prices. This has halted their ability to deliver. It started with a change in scheduling to backing off on sales. Then they started serving ice cream themselves instead of having employees.
The company has also had to raise its prices. This is just one example of how the change in the oil market will affect the widespread economy.
Airlines have started to raise prices. Because so many are affected by this, the core inflation rate will rise. Prices are rising but a lowering in demand is also possible which will hurt businesses that need to raise prices.
Like the ice cream company, smaller companies are the ones that will be affected by the war the most.
