"katy" wrote in message ... It also hits small business in a big way...my son-in-law runs a tree service. It's him and a part-time guy that comes along when he has to climb to handle the ropes...his business is gas intensive...the chipper wagon, the stump grinder, the various chain saws, his loader...when he tried to pass on the increased cost of gas in his estimates, he started to lose business. So instead, he is now quoting his old prices and working a midnight shift job to boot...what;s right about that? I'm sure most farmer's are in the same boat, as well as landscape guys...even with the ag benefits on diesel, it's still horrendous...and when gas goes up, so does everything else...so then you not only have people unable to go anywhere, they also can't afford to buy gresh vegetables tha thacve been tricked in at exorbiatant prices. Have you not read Adam Smith? It's the guiding hand, Katy. With astronomical gasoline and fuel oil prices that tree will be worth more. People will cut down trees to heat their homes or power their cars. I, Gilligan, have devised the most efficient and benign form of transportation yet! It's the geothermal car! Next will be the geothermal boat! Hisssss!!!! Geyser power? (snicker...more like geezer...) |
