Another thing to keep in mind is the costs that come with this in ALL aspect of our lives. Just about everything we use is based on oil byproducts (which is probably why this fires me up cause I have to hear bitching constantly how much a gallon of paint costs) yet no one seems to say anything about the reasons why we have such drastic price increases, which I see as these record setting profits. |
Do I feel like I am getting buttfaked everytime I fill up? (And before anyone here asks, no...I don't really know what it feels like to be buttfaked, but if having a prostate check is any indication, I am pretty sure I wouldn't like it...)
Yessiree
Do I thinking the oil companies are taking advantage of us?
I do.
Do I understand why there are still govt sudsidies for the Oil Companys?
Nope
Do I wonder why they aren't taking some of that profit and building more refineries?
Yes
Do I hope that someone will finally invent a way that we can reduce our dependancy on oil...and yes...be able to turn around and say FUCK YOU and the horse you rode in on to EXXON/MOBILE et-al?
You betcha
But would I have the oil companies nationalized or take some other socialist approach to the price of oil?
No
BUT, if I were the benevolent dictator of the whole USA would I do something about it?
Yep
What?
Fucked if I know but I, for one, wouldn't be paying that much for gas!!!
