Listening to NPR. We over here the announcer stating something about a small town having gas wars. The result, gas as low as .49 cents a gallon.
I laughed and said,
"You know, when gas was in the thirty dollar range I was a kid in 1974. Dang getting older too fast.I knew that the current rate was way over priced and we the payers are being hosed, literally.
So why isn't every town and hamlet dropping gas prices to the prices they should be? Well greed, and more greed. And just down right greedy people. We can't force the gas stations to lower prices. We can ask nicely if they would consider helping out their towns.
Over all, gas prices should have dropped like a log torn down from the forest. Just a loud yes. Possibly heard around the globe. But why should we Americans pay such high prices for everything, including gasoline? Because we are in America? Just for the privilege to be here? Or exist maybe?
We only need one store owner to begin dropping the gas prices. Then another. They will still make money. This twist in the economics is rather angering. When I know, we shouldn't pay over fifty cents a gallon. And that may even be too generous, since these thieves of our hard earned labors get theirs, while we roast under the flames of their greediness that knows untold limits.
Perhaps on the Oregon coast some may be persuaded to give a person a break this year. Fred Meyers has stepped up to start the wars. Just heading into Florence Oregon gas was seen at $1.99 a gallon. All I can say is,
"Hey Fred keep on going. Pull that buck away and we might start to get some where."
Lets all be so lucky to have gas price wars.
