Hi! SStorch,
The time ahead is a worry. In my part of Oz we pay about US$ 2.15 for a gallon of
"Gas", US$0.47 for a tonne of tap water (about two hundred and twenty gallons)
and about US$ 2.30 for two gallons of packaged water. A gallon of FAQ bulk wine
is US$ 4.50 - 7.00 and bottle beer about US$ 7.00 - 9.00
There is talk of doubling the price of water to reduce use.
Our State Government sold our Power Company and charges are just on twice that of
a year ago.
They sold Sydney Airport, the largest in the country and the charges doubled with
one month.
Maybe we should form a corporation and buy a government department, instead of
growing food?
