Nianfong,
Anyone who lived through the gas crisis of the 70's or anyone who has heard of it should have seen this coming, ...
.... oil prices, I mean.
I have my life set up to where even $8 a gallon gas won't hurt me directly, ...
... it will hurt my income and make everything else cost more, but as long as people want to drink, gamble, and have crazy causual sex, - I'll do okay.
And $ 8 a gallon gas is going to be what it take for inventers and producers to come up with something better.
They will come up with it because they will be rewarded for it...
... But if you take away their insentives to invent and produce, and compete- they will lay low, and let burocrats and the regulators fuck us all up the ass on the level playing feild of socialism.
