This may seem trite, but I think it’s just human nature. It’s hard to see how people that you don’t know dying 1,000 miles away affects you (John Dunne notwithstanding), but something that happens nationwide, such as rising gas prices, by definition affects you. Also, the scale of the event has something to do with it. There’s an element of truth to the quote, attributed to Stalin, that goes something like this: One death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
