I heard that a relative lack of air conditioners in the UK made the higher temperatures hit them proportionally more than the US too. In both cases my point is that of course it's shocking to suddenly hit circumstances you're unprepared for.
wonder how it is a shock, given all that leads to higher prices is in the news for everyone since March at least. will restrain myself for further geopolitical context, but you get my point. and, yeah, people in UK and most of EU also saw the heat (literally) coming for years... so the comparison is very apt indeed.

More of a shock, if anything - the higher taxes in Europe act to damp price swings, so sudden rises like this hit America proportionately more.
