AP NewsMore expensive gas, semiconductors likely pushed up inflation last month

What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorInflation likely rose last month, driven by more expensive gas and semiconductors, the chips inside your phone, your car and your microwave.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJoining us is coach Oriel Vandermeulen. Oriel, is this a manifestation issue?
Oriel VandermeulenChip, prices are just energy we agree to feel. When gas goes up, that's the universe asking what you're holding onto.
Oriel VandermeulenI'm not tracking it, but it's three eighty-nine.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree eighty-nine. You said you weren't tracking it.
Oriel VandermeulenI'm not. I simply release it daily.
Oriel VandermeulenThe semiconductor shortage, though, is a block in our collective throat, which is why I carry this jade gas pump keychain.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYour keychain is a gas pump.
Oriel VandermeulenIt's a reminder to let go.
Oriel VandermeulenI'm not tracking it, but I let go at three ninety-one on Tuesday, and three eighty-nine this morning at the other station.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo you checked two stations.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy question is whether you've been to one tonight, because the numbers you're quoting are very specific for a woman at peace.
Oriel VandermeulenI'm not tracking it, Chip. Four stations.
Oriel VandermeulenEleven minutes of driving each way. But I am at peace, and the workbook is ninety days of it.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNinety days.
Oriel VandermeulenNinety days, and the first lesson is that a chip in your car costs what you believe it costs.
Oriel VandermeulenI'm not tracking it, but my dashboard light has been on since August.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the universe is asking you to fix your car, and you answered with a workbook.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLet me ask one more time, and this one's easy: what did you pay for gas this week?
Oriel VandermeulenFifty-one dollars and forty-two cents, and I breathed through every cent of it. I'm not tracking it.
