| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24980804 United States10/04/2012 11:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OH shit! I remember the odd and even days, and I think we got Government Cheese too! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1520917  it was a 5lb. block of yellow. Yep remember it well.. It was VelVeeta. Wonderful for home-made mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, anything where you wanted melted cheese. A woman in our housing complex got "Commodities" every month - cheese, butter, milk, flour, beans, pasta, etc.(Now they just give you food stamps - wonder whatever happened to all of that extra food?) Anyway, I used to trade her a block of store-bought cheese for her VelVeeta since VelVeeta was too expensive in the store for me to buy. Wait!! Wait!! It was AMERICAN Cheese, like Kraft DeLuxe slices. Sorry, don't know WHY I was thinking VelVeeta!! Is velveeta real cheese at all?? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24857213 and the rich people have no problem paying that, and the poor people will all just lay down and die. But how will the rich make money if nobody is spending?? I really think the rich have watched to many movies and have lost there tiny brains...dont think they have thought this through. Or it is depopulation in store!! but that wont work either..."Let them eat cake" this time the cake will be made out of the rich!! History repetes... |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4428411 United States10/05/2012 12:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am still confused as to what the problem is. Quoting: FatalW1shes ” Bob van der Valk, an independent petroleum industry analyst in Terry, Montana, said by e-mail yesterday. “The mom- and-pop gas stations are having to close down from either not being able to obtain gasoline from their regular distributor or cannot afford the break-even price of almost $5 per gallon.” Sam Krikorian, owner of Quality Auto Repair in North Hollywood, said by phone yesterday. “Gas is costing me almost $4.75 a gallon with taxes. There’s no sense in staying open. The profit margins are so low it’s not worth it.” As one owner noted: "I can get gas, but it’s going to cost me $4.90 a gallon, and I can’t sell it here for $5," and another added that "we’re going to start shutting pumps Friday, as gas is costing me almost $4.75 a gallon with taxes. There’s no sense in staying open. The profit margins are so low it’s not worth it." It sounds to me like there is a law that says you cannot sell gas for $5.00 a gallon so since there is no profit at the current prices, they are shutting down instead of losing money. Can anybody confirm this? Essentially they probably are aware that the high prices are going to cause a crash. Therefore, they will be stuck with gas that they paid $5 a gallon + for when they can only charge $3.79 a gallon for it. Maybe? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24279842  Canada10/05/2012 12:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Will this gas shortage spread to the rest of America? Or is this just a regional issue? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21920594 It will be gas. electric, or economy...TSHF soon!! Are you saying that there could be an electric shortage? In other words, could suppliers not provide electricity as to do so would be at a loss (as it is in California with gas)? More like a false flag cyber attack on electric grind and banks...blamed on iran...easy pleasy just hit enter... Corrupt bankers get away with there theift, TPTB get everybody WW3 pissed off at iran and it begins..goverment smells like a rose for bombing them cause they stole your $$... Yup. |
