I left taht skin-head motorcycle site due to the thick skulls and went back to a more main-stream motorcycle site. Most peeps there are getting it and PO is discussed almost daily!

VM, I wish you were right but methinks the 'average joe' still thinks he's getting gouged by oil companies.

Take a look at some of the discussions the yourstategasprices.com site.

Gas Price Discussion

The whole concept of limits seems to be lost on the majority of our countrymen. To our peril.

mainstream motorcycle site - gas prices.

Yup, people are getting it.

-snip-
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat everyone's missing here is how these prices are going to ripple trough the entire economy. Food costs are already up significantly and will keep rising, clothing, all the basics will be going up significantly.

$600 heating bills will forestall a lot of trips to the mall, causing business to trim its sails big time. Layoffs and failures in the offing? You bet. If you're working in a consumer related industry, I'd sure pay close attention to the actions of your company. Frankly, I think the economy will slow to a crawl, if it moves forward at all, which it probably won't. (We'll prob. experience negative growth.)

I think we're in a downward spiral - not a free fall (yet?) but certainly a total contraction of economic activity. Fuel is one part of it, the major part of it, for sure, but it's going to affect our daily lives from the price of a loaf of bread to a six pack of beer.

So....what does our crack GOP administration do? They give us about $600 bucks of borrowed money and tell us to go jump start the economy. What a fucking joke.

For the life of me I cannot understand any of you who consistently defend "the free market." Where we are is the result of almost 30 years of nearly total laissez-faire economics. We've boxed ourselves in due to our unwillingness to plan for a future of reduced fossil fuel supplies. Foreigners are dictating how we are to live our lives now.

Just let the market fix the problem? Well, it is fixing the problem, friends, but with far more pain than anyone ever imagined and which pain was totally avoidable.

Just saw this today: Urban Survival in a Depression

I know this lady, she's sixty-something and works with the homeless.

Wow.

VERY good point about tech being cheaper than food, that gangs of baddies might use IR cameras that can see through walls to scope you out, etc.

Probably the best single-page writeup on what we're likely to be in for, I've seen.

Remember the dieoff will be easier if we all do our part to make it a killoff, identify the bad eggs in your area and when the time comes, the sooner you shoot 'em the less trouble it will be for everyone.
