there's nothing we can do about it except bitch, bend over, grease up and hope the gas station will be gentle. |
That's not true, and that's exactly the kind of attitude that's getting us raped up the ass like this in the first place. Our government could EASILY solve this problem and return us to 70c gas prices, *IF* we gave them an incentive to. It's just that Canadians would RATHER take it up the ass than actually GET OFF their asses and do something about it.
And this applies even more to idiots who bike or take the bus and shrug their shoulders and say "oh well, doesn't apply to me, good thing I don't drive!" Price gouging on necessity products affects EVERYONE. First and foremost it's going to affect businesses which rely on trucks and transportation, which will bankrupt some businesses (if this keeps up) and drive prices up all over the market. It's only a matter of time before you have to pay more for nearly *everything*, and who knows, you might just end up getting laid off because your business can't afford to keep as many employees around with all the extra costs.
