All talk no action.

I am taking a break from the non-stop action around here. Sheesh...it is harvest!!

News Alerts popped up about the CEOs getting grilled at a Senate hearing. YAWN!!!
Gripes:
1. The executives are not under oath. Whose idea was that? (Not which party's idea)
2. This hearing is designed to let the Americans know "they are not being gouged". Ah.... isn't this a little TOO LATE!! If the public was "gouged" will we get a refund for the price difference?
3. This is basically a rhetoric meeting, no results or actions will become of this hearing.

In short life continues with high priced gasoline powering the inefficient cars necessary to bring us to work in order to earn a laughable income to continue paying for the gas that powers the inefficient..... An unfortunate cycle with few winners, only the executives of oil companies.

When gas rose to $3.50 per gallon a few months ago, I asked my boss for a raise. He just laughed at the request.

Erhm... Gas = $3.50, Minimum wage = $5.50.
Price of gasoline was more than minimum wage in some areas.
Go tell the needy:
- they were not gouged,
- the economic model of free market works,
-the supply could have been cut-off (keyword: COULD)
- it is all a matter of supply and demand.

Yeah, they will buy that argument.

Well back to work.... have to feed the car.
