Dropped by the old Doughnut Shop to visit with the locales for the first time in a long time yesterday. The conversation turned to gas prices, and the lead locale said “wuz cuzza spekulaters”

I asked him what they based their speculation on?

He looked at me as though I was some sort of evil Demon.

I would have thought, based on his stupid response, that he would have looked at you with a glazed bovine stare.

Blaming “speculators” is like shooting the messenger.

I’ve never heard people blame speculation when prices are falling. I guess speculation is a magic money machine, whereby people can make bets that always win?
