[quote:Anonymous Coward 19812348:MV8yMDQ2NTM0XzM0Mzg3ODI2XzhBRTRDN0I=] [quote:Babylon's Rebel:MV8yMDQ2NTM0XzFFNUQ5RDQ2] http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/09/news/economy/sandy-price-gouging/index.html I'm sick and tired of the blatant communism in this country. I'm tired of people with a Kindergarten-level understanding of economics and government (they call themselves Democrats) acting like they know what's best for everyone else. I'm tired of them pretending they're looking out for the little guy. I bet if you made both political parties take IQ tests, the Democrats would score at least 30 points lower on average. Am I promoting the Republican Party? No. They're just as bad, but in a slightly different way. The republicans are smarter, and want some good things, but they're deceived. Republican politicans lie, and pretend to be conservative, but they're not. The democratic politicans don't have to lie or deceive anyone. They're just blatantly stupid, evil, and communistic. Obviously there's some good in both party platforms. But not much. I'm exaggerating how bad things are because I'm venting. [/quote] I guess if I owned a gas station in NJ I would limit my increase to 10% during a disaster, but I would likely close down well before I ran out of fuel, because one would be inundated with people just buying fuel. Gas stations don't make money on their fuel, but only on their food and drink items inside. The fuel is either sold at cost or even sometimes below cost, in order to get the convenience store business, so if you have a bunch of panicked citizens ONLY there to buy fuel, you're losing money. I don't blame these guys for increasing their prices. I wonder how the NJ AG would look upon a policy of requiring a purchase inside to even buy gas, that would be an idea, and would not necessarily require any price increases. [/quote]
