Angry secondly

right off CNN this morning .....
an interview with Goldsmith's garage who just quit
selling gasoline because it was costing them
$1000.00 per month.

he said: the gas delivery was costing him
more per gallon than what you could buy it retail for.

So now ........... he's just a service station.

True Raven.. they are trying to sqeeze the independents out.. they want to own all the reatail outlets, (chain style) too.
Friend of mine is in it with his family, 50 years plus.. they only hang on to the gas end of it, becasue of his father, too stubborn, or sentimental to quit is... I have seen the invoices.. they pay more, than the chain owned store (same brand), a mile down the road.. sad....

At Least they get something back for that.. the extra taxes goes towards their health care in a lot of the european countries, that have socialized HC

They also have a SUBSIDIZED public transportation system that serves the majority of the continent. Try to use pubic transportation to get somewhere in the US
