This was a few weeks ago, don't know if it was mentioned on the list. An
independent gas station owner pulled up to the pumps of a national chain
with his tanker truck. He got 300 Gallons (um 61,582 newtons) in his truck
before the police showed up. He said that their retail price was 3 cents
cheaper then his wholesale price.
What I notice about this dialog is people complaining about practices that
have always gone on. It's the weekend, the prices have gone up! It's cold
out, heating oil costs more! It's hot out, ice cream cost more! Those
evil/greedy/capitalists/Republicans are screwing the little people.
When my next employee review comes around I'm going to demand a cut in pay
even if my value to the company has increased. If we all do this then goods
will cost less. Reverse inflation! Stand up for the poor!
