But you can certainly complain more and louder to the people that actually matter.
And who might they be?

well, to be fair to likwid, we could complain to the taxing authorities (fed.gov and state.gov) about the per-gallon gasoline surcharges they tack on to the retail price of gasoline.

it won't solve everything, but it will certainly help.

also, if you wanted to be a real pain in the arse, one could lobby congress to remove the favorable tax treatment that commodity futures contracts enjoy (a portion of capital gains on futures contracts are taxed at the long-term = lower rate).

of course, you do that, the entire city of Chicago will revolt.

but that's okay, i hate Chicago.

Cool

not being reported by Iranian television and our own MSM are large-scale protests and rioting by the 30 and under crowd in Iran.

this is really bad news for ahmadinerag ... the 30 and under crowd have no allegiance to the islamic revolution and are pro-modernity and quality of life.

cracks in the regime?
