Why Is This Price Gouging 833Matt Timmermans This modern economy is based on predatory capitalism -- in pursuing my greed, somehow you benefit! It's kept going by the artificial stimulation -- even creation! -- of desires. It is certainly about...
Les Cargill Not a factor here -- people spent all that time tied up in traffic anyway. True, but we've all got to learn some time! Hey, I'm the one with a herniated vertabra, resulting in referred pain to my right hamstrings, which in turn is screwing up where my calves connect to the back of the knee, and now my right ankle's messed up from a separate injury. (I mean, while we're digressing here....) Yeah, hate those nasty hypocrites. Though getting an electric hybrid is excusable. I think folks ought to be able to pbutt the Army PFT in order to get their licenses. Nothing like a fat butt in a car. Except for some short scrawny unpleasant woman who's suddenly hell-on-wheels. And taxis are a more cost-effective way of getting to work, apparently...and the price -- ? There're a lot of businesses built on using old human-powered locomotion! Yup, that's another thing, oil and gas. Seems like people are just picking on the cabbies. A local TV channel even had this unpleasant woman latina (you know how those ghetto people are) arguing on-camera with a cab she's in, arguing about the fare. She really needed a cab to get to work, but she didn't need to be at work bad enough to go straight there, obviously able to afford the time saved by her ride to argue with the cabbie for however long the news crew covered the story! Actually, the adrenaline induced by rigorous physical activity will wake them up. I mean, these are the same party-hearty types who stumble around with a cup of coffee M-F anyway. Polish? Yiddish? Turkish?
