Gas Prices
Everyone is worried about gas prices. What happened to turn the prices around last time the skyrocketed? There were congressional hearings. As soon as congress got involved, gas prices dropped nearly 75 cents. Now, I am not one for getting the government involved in every aspect of our lives. I don't want more legislation and laws, or having government get itself involved in price controls. And yes, I understand that business is in the business of making money. But when the oil companies backed off so quickly once the government started snooping around, well, it makes you wonder.
There are some things that are necessary for our society to function: Water, Electricity, and Oil. When the people that control these are playing around with them and having impact on the lives of everyone else, shouldn't the government get involved...some how? Like the power companies that where screwing with California a few years ago?
I'm just wondering.

That said, is that the treatment you want for your business? Do you want to be intimidated into accepting $1 less per plate of brisket this summer?
