My point exactly. I don't need the nanny-execs to discipline my gas use.
And stocking up (or hoarding as you call it) on a product when it's on sale is bad how? When Kmart had coffee for 1.99 a big ol' can, I bought 20 cans. Is that stocking up, hoarding, or just plain wrong of me to take advantage of a sale? The same way I took advantage of lower out-state gas prices on my 3 state fun trip (right after Katrina, btw?) Did the gas co's want me to stay home, and deprive 3 states of all the $$ I spent?
OK, perfessor, go to it! :)
It's a shame your economic education is limited to your transactions at KMart.
I could go over the concepts of supply and demand for you, but you probably wouldn't get it. I'd rather you go through life blaming others everytime something bad happens.
Blame the oil execs. Go on thinking that they're "doing something to you." That's the easy answer. Don't bother to learn how economics works. I don't want to overwork that brain of yours. You need as much as you can to keep those legs moving, I'm sure.
