Same thing here in North Carolina
That means that imported gasoline can help with the shortages...
Easy enough. I’d just close my gas station, send the employees home without pay, and wait until supply and delivery come back to normal.
Holding a commodity over one’s head in an effort to have them choose between life or death is one thing.
If you’ve got the only bullets in town and no one is going to get any more supply, then the real question is how much do I have to pay to keep this store open, pay the employees, pay the costs of business for one week, 2 weeks, etc.
If I can’t make that much money in the 2 weeks it takes to get new supplies, then why exactly should I stay open?
Governors. What do they know?/sarc
It happened in Michigan too. Filled up last night (because I had to) and couldn’t believe the lines. Gas was 3.89, this morning it was 4.19. Thankfully, the grocery store had a .50 off per gallon if you spent over $100 so that really helped.
The same people that complain about an increase in gas prices, are also the same people that reveled when property prices were growing and are now howling because property prices have decreased.
I suppose we should pass laws to force property worth to exponentially increase, while we also have laws that force price decreases based on our convenience.
Live from Kentucky. Govenor Beshears did a great job of political grandstanding last week in anticipation of the chaos threatetened by Hurricanre Ike. But all of his wind was no match for the devestation Ike brought to the Ohio Valley last Sunday. With 90% of the homes here without electricity at some point and hundreds of thousands still without as of today, Tuesday, we are actually driving miles and miles and queing for blocks at any gas station with power to its pumps. Price gougeing is not an issue at this point, its PLEASE SELL ME YOUR GASOLINE! What are you doing about ELECTRICITY BESHEAR?
