    Reminds me of an article I read last week about plans for drones to deliver tacos. See everybody, Drones are our friends.

    Is this guy serious? Does he think that only the price of gas is going up?

    "Families should be able to afford $4/gallon gas." NOT IF EVERYTHING ELSE COSTS MORE MONEY TOO
    People are struggling to meet ends meet and this $#@! basically says that we shouldn't be complaining about it and that we should deal with it.
    MSM scumbaggery at its finest.

    I know some liberals who think taxing gas up to $10 a gallon would be awesome.

    Make sure you let them know that they're part of the problem.

    Tacocopter? That's a group of private individuals attempting to develop a new model of food delivery. The government is blocking them.

    Tacos > Bombs.

    that article is some pretty desperate-sounding propaganda, it would be interesting to find out where it originated as it is very easy to spot as the likely product of government/political party-media cooperation

    some of the stuff in that article is really mindbendingly stupid (e.g. "Oh, and it's not really $4 gal, it's $3.64/gal of 2007 dollars") - well duh the problem is not high gas price, but low dollar value

    one cannot accidentally or innocently be as disingenuous as that article is - it's an interesting propaganda study

    That's one guys opinion. I can find you ten MSM articles that say how terrible rising gas prices are.

    Well, he hasn't thought that far ahead. You can thank the government indocrina....I mean the public school system for that.


    Tell your buddy when the $#@! goes down, there is girl on the internet that says he will be one of the first people we eat.

    $#@!ing idiot.

    We'll see how awesome they think it is when they are paying $4 for a potato.

    Oh wait, who am I kidding, if we taxed gas up to $10 a gallon we'd probably also be up to like a 60% income tax...no one would really pay for anything. The government would "provide" potatoes. With our money...

    Well, Europe has always had much higher gas prices than us.

    That being said, both sides will always justify their own party, when years earlier, they were bashing that same issue when it was turned the other way.

    This is what they do. They pit us against each other.

    Only fools fall for such $#@!.

    I don't watch or read anything from the MSM. I highly suggest you do the same.

    Not only that, but im incredibly skeptical of the MSM after reading about Operation Mockingbird.

    For all we know, someone like Anderson Cooper, who did intern at the CIA, could be an agent.

    Who knows? Why put myself through that.

    That's great but the problem with 4$ gas was that it impacted shipping costs. Unlike personal cars, tractor trailers aren't built for fuel economy. With rising gas prices, companies that rely on cheap shipping costs are going to make their products more expensive, which is why when gas was 4$ a gallon before, so was milk and other basic commodities were also more expensive. Having to pay more on basic needs means that you have less money to spend on other goods if you're poor, which definitely impacts the economy.

    Anyone who thinks high gas prices only impacts personal transportation is an idiot.
