Inflation


Well I passed by this Chevron sign today. My brother told me his teacher said that if gas prices rise at this rate, in the year 2010, a gallon of gas will be about $9.00. This makes me so upset, I have no money to pay for gas, let alone buy a better source. This puts the entire world in a bind. I'm sure soon enough we will drill in Alaska and other various places that we promised to preserve, but we've already made a mess of ourselves. So upsetting.

did i say we have a lot of gas??
I didn't mean that, I'm just complaining at the gas prices. And it's for sure not only Exxon and Mobil, I only use QT because they've always been the cheapest I can find and they're still too expensive for me.

ummmmm anonymous doesnt know what they are talking about.
exxon/mobil?
im pretty sure they only hold %2 of the worlds oil
so they are absolutely not raising the gas prices.
we dont have a lot of oil
because we are dependent on foreign oil from countries that arent exactly our best friends, although they arent raising the prices solely on that fact.
we need, that is the United States of America, consumes 87.5 million barrels and we only have resources to 86 million. Simple supply and demand problem right there. How do we fix it? ummmm drill in alaska and tap more into our oil reserves in the United states. Oh thats right we cant do that, why? the polar bears or the wild life or the environment. and venezuela is crazy, fuckin hugo chavez. Gas will and is going to keep going up because we dont take advantage of the oil that we could have. We did threaten to do that once, that is drill more in the us and convert our huge amounts of in i think the late eighties and OPEC, because fear of such competition, crashed the prices. The US needs to get out of this big green scare mindset and get out of bed with fuckin saudi and other countries and become more dependent with our oil.

by the way this is john.
so much easier to verbalize this.
but whatevss.

whoops i messed that up.
the production of oil is 85 million barrels
and the demand is 87 million barrels.
and i forgot to add that that is per day.
so the US is 2 million barrels short every day.
supply and demand baby.
