Adjusted for inflation the price of gas is very close to what it was when I graduated from high school in '75. Maybe gas prices should be reported in "average income hourly units" or something, the amount of time you have to work to buy a gallon of gas.
I've had it up to here with people complaining about gas prices. We've had 30+ years to make better choices. Now the Democrats are listening to the lobbyists? Is there no way for society to move forward?
