Got Gas? U.S. Economy to Worsen as Gas Prices Skyrocket

[dmcowen674]

I filled up my tank this morning @ $2.79/gal.

Texas can blow it out their asses, that state is not part of the U.S.

Just secede already.

Gas prices in Western Tennessee are in the high $2 range with some at or slightly above $3 a gallon. I am tempted to trade in my car for a hybrid (not because of present prices, but because what they MAY become), but I think I'll just ride things out for now.

If Texas seceded gas prices in Chicago would hit $7.00/gal or more. I think it would be great to see your head explode from those prices.

Well the good thing is without jobs to go to you won't notice as much. Never-mind paper, corn, beans etc has gone up 50% since last year.

Has it? Toilet paper seems more expensive than this summer.

OIL FUTURES: Crude Falls Below $90 Despite US Inventory Drop

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20101230-705844.html

One of the reasons for the drop in inventory is that companies are keeping oil out at sea for end of the year tax reasons.

I used to be able to get a pound of beans for 60 cents just a year ago or so. Now it is just about double that. I think it is time to start growing my own. Need some more land though...

Considering that food costs are going up and with inflation and all that, is it possible that land will become a valuable investment?

Seeing as that makes you happy, the big oil CEO's and traders have succeeded.

Oil companies are the company I work for biggest clients. I would say over 65% of my income is derived from work on equipment that belongs to the oil companies.

In other words, it makes you happy when oil prices are high and helping to smack the rest of what's left of the US economy into the ground? Bravo.

When oil prices rise our business booms as the oil companies buy more equipment and put more money into maintaining existing equipment.

I knew you were an America hating twit that benefits from the raping of this country.

Thanks for admitting it anyway.

If that's what it took to get rid of the America hating blowhards of Texas so be it.

Our products are manufactured/serviced in the US by Americans. The same is true for the equipment we sell to foreign oil companies.

So, what's your point?

I'm sure most of them hate this country along with you.

Parasites love their host until it's dead.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Ok, what pray tell have you done in service for this country?

 

[dmcowen674]

Ok, what pray tell have you done in service for this country?

More than you'll ever know or care.

Besides install spyware on client's computers and help install telco hardware that is now used to spy on Americans via the unPatriot Act? Not much.

So in other words, not a damned thing. Maybe you're the one that hates America.

Don't know about the hardware side but the "spyware" is not correct. Seti, even though installed without permission, is not spyware. Ok, back to rising oil prices helping to kill the US economy even more...already in progress.

Gas prices: Bracing for more pain at the pump


Drivers may be bracing for more pain at the pump in 2011 as gas prices continue to head higher.

Platts senior oil analyst Linda Rafield attributes some of the spike in oil prices to speculation.


"That can push prices to a level that doesn't reflect supply and demand," Rafield said.

Doesn't matter as long as Londo Jowo's company is doing well and he gets a pay raise.

It's not my fault you guys chose job fields that are at the mercy of the oil companies rather than making profits from them.

Which is what...about 99.99999% of all US companies? Bravo again!

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Again you chose your job field and have no one to blame but yourself.
