in Atlanta georgia right NOW!

because of those two disfunctional oil pipelines.

but the sickest and ugliest thing i heard today was this.

a nurse who stepped outside for a breath of fresh air

because the hospital she's working in (trying to save patients)
had zero ventilation...without power....

was robbed outside at gunpoint by some fokin scumbags.

that is absolutely OUTRAGIOUS. no mercy shoot to kill

all armed looters .PERIOD , BAM

Bush created hurricane Katrina to pump up his profits.Katrina wasn't formed from a tropical wave that came off of Africa and encountered 87 degree Gulf waters to become a major hurricane...it was Bush trying to make money.

That's what some of you come across as sounding like.

Heck there's a guy in the Old Pharts board asking "Where's Oswald when you need him".

You gotta be freakin kidding me!

My future sister in-law and husband and two kids are from Slidell LA.Where's that you might ask?Who knows.....its all gone.

Quit yer whining and stop thinking about yourselves.Its about them and the those in the same situation as them.

sucks to be them. it just sucks to see the oil companies profiting from a natural disaster where real people are suffering.... and yes, all the blokes in teh whitehouse are making $$ off this rise in oil prices like it or not. did they cause this??? no.

Not saying "woe is us" Basswipe...just talking about the rising cost of gas. Go to the other thread about the hurricane if that is what you want to talk about!

$2.61 yesterday morning.....$2.89 this morning!

2.51 tuesday,3.50 today

[afterhours]

can't help but feeling used and abused.

I haven't looked at the street pump in about 2 weeks. Then it was 3.25 and my brother gagged at that price then.

There is no crude supply problem that I see, it is just that we need more refinerys and 10% of them were just shut down in the wake of that storm. OK that happend yesterday. Why the price hike today? I think they are jumping the gun a little.


Also, I think folks in the fuel business will use anything as an excuse for a price hike. Do you see lines at the pump? Do you see any stations that don't have fuel? This is a fabricated hike. Yes Europe has high fuel costs but most of that is taxes...in our case it is more like greed. I can tell you the gas that was in the station yesterday is the SAME as the gas that is in there today...but it suddenly cost more.

This thread was started after Katrina struck.And of course a certain somebody brought politics into it.The rising cost of gas directly or indirectly is a result of the storm.

And it is a "woe is us" thread.Spend in a minute in THEIR shoes and all of a sudden the rising price of gas is meaningless.

Feel bad for the folks down south...I do...but if this has to be a "woe is me" thread then so be it! Just went out to "top off" the tanks in my 3 vehicles.....as I arrive at the pump the price is changing to $3.10 from $2.89.....that is a .49 cent jump in 24 hours.....cost me $150.00 to fill em' up! Guy at the station says it is going up another 20 cents in the morning for sure!

Basswipe....I do hope your family is ok down there....it is a terrible, horrible thing to be sure and my heart does go out to all down there and their families.....don't for a second think I am not sympathetic and uncaring. I can't begin to fathom what those folks are dealing with at this moment.

[vineyardblues]

WOW ,,,on cnn they just said in Atlanta Gas it up to 5.88 per Gal.
We are in trouble

[Jenn]

just be glad there is gas to buy.

I dont like it anymore than anyone else but the fact of the matter is it COULD be worse......
