WHAT IN THE FUCK HAPPENED TO GAS PRICES Options

[Mommy]

In Port Wentworth, GA, here is a 3 day time line of gas prices:

2 days ago: $3.83
Yesterday: $3.69 (went DOWN)
This morning: $3.79
This afternoon: $3.97
Now: $4.39

Oh and it's not like it's just like that at the gas station by our house. We went to the island and to Savannah this evening. We filled up in Savannah. The pump read $4.39, and it pumped at $4.49/gal. It cost us $68.01 to fill up a CAR. Jesus fucking Christ. Seriously, anyone who votes for Obama can kiss our economy goodbye.

It only took a global recession to bring down the gas prices. Worst recession since the S&L crisis of the 1980s, $6,000,000,000,000 of wealth lost, 2 endless wars, nearly 1.2 million jobs lost this year alone, 6.5% unemployment rate, etc, etc.

The "American" car companies, Chrysler, Ford, and GM are now begging for help. Burning through billions of dollars and possibly running out of the money in the first half of 2009 and posting millions of dollars of losses. When gas hit over $2/gallon or the first time in Q2 of 2004, the Big 3 automakers didn’t do shit. The Big 3 didn't do shit when gas surpassed $3/gallon in Q4 of 2005, going as far as saying that high gasoline prices aren't stopping Americans from buying trucks and SUVs. You got burned once when gas hit $2/gallon, burned a second time when gas hit $3/gallon, now you guys are getting slaughtered after gas hit $4/gallon. The collapse of the Big 3 automakers will cost over a million jobs in the economy, but not sure if they need saving with their poor decisions they've made in the pass and the utilization of worthless union workers.

The economy has always come out a recession, but it depends on how long it will last. OPEC has announced cuts of 1.5 million barrels a day during an emergency meeting last month. A report at the end of the month will show if the cartel has actually enforced the cut in production. OPEC wants to keep it between a "reasonable" $70 to $90/barrel range, but with the recession oil prices has fell even further regardless. The OPEC president is reportedly saying that more cuts are likely to "stabilize" the price of oil. Oil did dip below $60/barrel in trading last week. Prices will increase, and this is no time to terminate or delay any research into alternative fuels not made from food, biodiesel, fuel efficiency, nuclear energy and renewable energy.

Enjoy it while you can, but "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
