[ale] OT: gas going up this weekend

[Jim Kinney]

The spike in 08 that was fueled (ha, ha) by the speculators which magically
coincided with the beginning of the economic crash. The graph between then
and now looks just like the graph before the 08 spike/crash.

I'm convinced that the 08 spike was also a test to see what people would
actually put up with for fuel prices. When it hit $4.25/g MARTA got crowded!
My luck I was driving 35 miles to work each way at the time. I20 was WAY too
scary for a scooter that got 65MPG.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
