#3308 of 8805 Well... by lemko Apr 08, 2006 (7:52 am)
...I think it's time for that outrage again. If prices are this high now with virtually no major meteorological or political events, imagine what they'd be if another Katrina or 9-11 happened. Fuel would be out of reach for many people. Low-wage workers may just not show up for work as fuel for their vehicles would cost more than they'd make on their shift at Target or Wal-Mart.

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 7:37 am) Does the Dubya regime really need the media to make it look bad? It seems to do pretty well on its own...   Can't wait for that next energy bill...no wait, it's a liberal conspiracy! The same liberal elite who made domestic cars unpopular! Really, it gets old.

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 7:44 am) No the price of fuel did not come down because of the media or some people being upset. The price comes down when enough people cut back on consumption, to start creating an excess of supply. When gas was over $3/gal people cut back their consumption 5%, 10%, maybe 20%, and that's what did it.   The same thing is going on with natural gas, and heating oil prices and markets.   What sort of conspiracy is going on with the gold markets? Is there all of a sudden a shortage of gold? Why has the price shot up so much over the last year?

Replying to: lemko (Apr 08, 2006 7:52 am) you: Fuel would be out of reach for many people.   me: Fuel is already out-of-reach for millions in this country, and for billions of people around the world. I would then conclude that people adapt, survive, and live without it. Fuel has always only gone to those are earn a certain amount.   you: Low-wage workers may just not show up for work as fuel for their vehicles would cost more than they'd make on their shift at Target or Wal-Mart.   me: well I don't think many people are driving 20 or 30 miles each way to work for minimum wage; that's a poor choice. Most people live in urban/suburban areas and there are many jobs that go begging near people. Also many businesses could adjust their shifts to be longer and workers to have to come in less days - (4) 10 hour shifts than (5) 8 hr for example.

Replying to: fintail (Apr 08, 2006 8:19 am) LOL, Exactly.   I like Michael Savage's idea. For every 1 illegal alien we have here in the U.S. we get 1 barrel of oil per month for Mexico.   Rocky

I forgot, all you have available in Canada is the liberal media. To you, liberal probably seems normal. Replies to this message: rockylee (Apr 08, 2006 11:48 am) fintail (Apr 08, 2006 12:22 pm)

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 11:34 am) Well I'm sure fintail, could say you are in lockstep with the minority of your party. If you've paid attention lately the "Right Wing" doesn't think this president is very Right !!!!   OTOH-His poll approval ratings across the board also reflect falling support, which isn't just a liberal media conspiracy.   Back to cars/gas......   Rocky
#3315 of 8805 $2.60 for 86 octane in Amarillo by rockylee Apr 08, 2006 (11:49 am)
Has it reached $3.10 anywhere yet ?   Rocky

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 11:34 am) I'm not in Canada, but nice try.   The idea of the "liberal media" is a sham in itself, a distraction. Who controls the media, pray tell? There's no conspiracy or anything else the neandercons try to fool the masses with.   What do you want, everything to be like FOX News? Fair and balanced! ROFL   But yeah, everything is on the up and up, it's all hunky-dory. Be positive!

the one barrel of oil for every illegal here from down south would only start to make up for the Uncle Sam deficit in that deal.   That is forward thinking, though. Replies to this message: rockylee (Apr 08, 2006 1:14 pm)
