Gas Prices, Oil to Record Highs




When you think it couldn't get any worse, here comes 1973 again. Those of us old enough to remember "Odd/Even Days" at the gas pumps, here comes more bad news. More money out of ours into the rich folks hand. What can we do to change all of this?
Well, of course, we'll cut back on going anywhere...more "coocooning" for the middle-to-lower class. Going to Walmart (don't get me started with that!) once a month will be the "monthly" outing for entertainment, as we stay connected to the world at home. At least we have the internet, but even it can be tedious at times.
I suggest letting the market play itself out and maybe things will get back to normal. But this is bad. Misery loves company, and we have a lot to be miserable for. Wish I had a good way to end this post, but I don't! :(
