Price caps now would not cause the kind of lines you had back in '79 for 2 reasons. 1. Back in 1979 there was no self-serve. You had to wait for some gas monkey to come gas you up. and ...

I am really trying hard to figure out just how self-serve has ANYTHING to do with lines. I saw lines last night. SElf serve, pay at the pump. Now, cap the price and they'll institute rations, and everyone will line up on their appointed day. I remember those 70's years too.

2. There are many more gas stations now than 25 years ago. If one doesn't have gas, the fellow a block from you will.

If one doesn't have gas, then for all practical purposes, it doesn't exist. If the gas cannot get here, because they cannot afford to ship it because it costs more to produce than is taken in at the pump, then they won't have it.

Yes you ARE a troll. You and your "FreeDemm" friend.
