Oil reached a new high today...$72.40. Prices at the pump here in Austin are between 2.67 and 2.77 per gallon for regular unleaded. There are local news stories about people pawning stuff just to buy gas to get to work and pick up thier kids at school. The airwaves are bristling with the stories of record profits for oil companies, the most obscene being the 329 million dollar retirement package for that exxon pig.
The concern is that we are being gouged by these assholes, and the asshole chain starts in the oval office and trickles down through government to the oil industry. (not that there's much difference). Are we being gouged?
Let me aliviate any concerns about price gouging.
They are fucking us three ways to sunday.
Think it's bad now?
Wait till bunnypants tosses a nuke into Iran. If you think it's tough going now, wait till October, October...if we're lucky.
