You know what’s crazy. I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Gas prices. Going up up up.
It’s spiraling out of control like a tornado of lost dollars.
It’s like Pac Man Jones is the minister of oil and he is making it rain with a billion wasted dollars of our hard earned money.
I’m sick of it, I’m tired of it. it’s killing us.
America is held hostage. We might as well be wearing blindfolds and sitting in a tiger cage in some jungle.
Big Oil has us over the proverbial barrel. They claim its supply and demand. They say it’s all about tensions in the Middle East.
I say it’s all about greed.
Sure Iran is shutting down exports to some European countries. Sure there is nuclear anxiety. I understand for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So I wonder how the markets would react to us blowing these oil producing whiners off the face of the planet?
What if we just planted our American Flag on top of their refinery and said, “now what ya gonna do?”
Would prices swell like a festering disease? or would all the foreign oil producers cower in fear and make sure that the US of A always had a cheap and steady supply of black gold.
Ah, perhaps it would precipitate a return to yesteryear, when oil flowed so easily it was 20 cents a gallon. Remember when it only cost 2 dollars to fill up dad’s 1975 Duster.
According to ABC News; nationwide, gas rose 20 cents over the last four weeks. That’s up 30 percent in 2 years.
I’m pissed. I’m sick of it. Aren’t you?
We’re fuel donkey’s, braying stupidly as oil barons and Middle Eastern sheiks ride us all the way to the bank.
In Los Angeles, they predict gas could rise to 4.70 a gallon
“I cant afford those prices” one driver said.
Nobody can afford it. It will cost most of us 75 dollars to fill up. That’s food money people. That’s a new thong for grandma.
Americans need to stop taking it like a Washington call girl. We need to fight back. We need to commute more and drive less.
Maybe we need to boycott fill ups on certain days. Maybe we need to send the Occupy people to the lobby of Exxon Oil. Fight fire with fire, or in this case grease versus grease. That would send a message.
But until we drive cars powered by hydrogen or the sun, we are going to bend over, turn our heads and cough.
It is never going to get better.
Gas costs more per gallon than milk. Damn it almost costs as much as Dasani water.
That’s sad.
And that is crazy.™
