I found it interesting that CSPAN aired their somewhat forced interviews of the nation's top Executives of its standing oil companies and attempted to grill them over the high price of gasoline in 3 minute intervals...
I'm old enough to remember the lines of cars that formed outside of various gas stations in the late 1970's - a product of government rationing and not real scarcity. Yes - look it up. Gasoline was forced into rationing based on the trailing numbers of your license plate... You were left with the option of filling up on an odd-day or not filling up at all.
We were living near the beach at the time, and I poignantly remember the clumps of oil that mysteriously appeared on the sand around the same time - a weekend event it was.
Who is to say what comes next? I have been toying with the idea of buying a 1978 Trans Am to celebrate some unknown portion of my teenage life, but haven't found it to be very financially reachable at this time. You would be foolish to hold onto the dollar as it gets whittled away by the forces that be. In other words, it is time to buy something. Get off your fat ass and buy something Not Made In China.
Oh, and go be social.
God Knows we need more social people.
