Yup, exactly (and no, not ripping on you discostu).
So many people are not looking at the bigger picture that these higher gas and diesel prices are GOING to effect their every day lives on every level very soon (probably now, but many just "swipe their cards"). Higher prices across the board and there is no reason for it other then marxist's over-regulating everything to death, including us.
But I'm preaching to the choir.
I certainly would like it cheaper. But gas is such an inflexible need it really does no good to pay attention to the price. When my tank is empty it’s time to fill it up, doesn’t matter if gas is a buck a gallon or ten bucks a gallon, the tank is empty. And I think that’s the case for most people. I suppose folks that have more vehicles than drivers have a certain flexibility and can push off fill-ups at least a little, but for most of the populace it’s a pointless issue.
Although some folks just seem to obsess on it. My sister-in-law’s family is like that, any time they know you got gas they ask how much it was. That’s actually when I noticed how little I pay attention to it, when they kept asking and I couldn’t even give them a ballpark.
Do you remember after 911 when fuel prices went way above the fray. As a small business person, I was freaked out. The MSM was also. They blamed GWB and his WOT. Please people it’s become a conditioning thing now. Don’t stop speaking out against it.
