"Classic spculative bubble. Market chicanery. The weak dollar, market manipulation."

Thanks for piping in Jackass.

Again, none of this has to do with supply and demand. It has to do with wealthy people manipulating the market, collluding with each other, and so forth.

Seems like a lot of this stuff could be fixed, but wealthy people are getting wealthy the way it is, and have little incentive or fear motivating them to change.

I recall not being very political during the 2000 election, not caring about the recount in Florida, thinking that the guy who kept looking at the dangling chads, turning the card over, staring at it before making his decision, LOOKED ridiculous! Couldn't imagine myself doing that.

Little did I know how important that Supreme Court decision would be. The activist Republican supreme court got their man in for 8 years, and look at the mess we have now. I refuse to fill up my Corolla until the price comes down, and yet...I'm running on empty...as Jackson Browne would sing...
