What happened to the America that even gasoline was not sold on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year?

Now there's an odd thing to be nostalgic about.

When everyone was home with their families, and almost no cars on the road because they were already there, there were almost no gasoline stations open. But with credit card sales for everything, including candy and sodas, the only things still closed on Thanksgiving are houses of worship. Take a look at the lines at the cinemas on this upcoming Thursday and see how many people are not home with their families.

I wax nostalgic for a simpler time when gasoline was the least of our worries, and getting there was not something to contemplate.
