I asked her who was going to deliver my paper now and she said probably the district manager 
She said about 15 people quit because they couldn't afford the gas anymore to deliver (we live in a rural area).
Isn't that SAD!!!!!
People trying to make it the best way they know how and they can't even afford to work because of the gas prices.
EWWWWW that just burns me.   |
Beth,
If Congress actually acts on what they learned today in their hearings on fuel price manipulation, then prices will drop significantly by the end of the summer.
The witnesses during the hearing were significant people, and they pointed out how and where the problems/price manipulation is taking place. If these issues are resolved, then prices will get back into the $2 range and a bunch of Energy Speculators/Hedge Funds will bite the dust instantly.
I am not holding my breath on this happening so fast, but the good news is that the Congress has its rear in the fire right now,..., more so than they ever have.
Let's hope for the best.
