From $2.59 to $3.01 In One Fucking Day...
To the assholes running every gas station in the Raleigh area, especially the scumbag running the show at the station at the corner of Jones Franklin Road and Walnut Street:
You are vile pieces of shit...
I saw the sign being changed at that very station yesterday, and what was $2.59 on Tuesday was now $3.01 on Wednesday.
Have fun dealing with the shame of gouging your fellow citizens at the whims of your corporate masters when this country should be coming together.
It must be an absolute hoot being a hatchetman for a blood-sucking oil company at a time when they are getting fatter than Marlon Brando on a 3-day Crisco bender...
There, my rant is over. I'm just thankful our president knows what to do...
UPDATE: Sarcasm aside, can you imagine Dear Leader having as much common sense as Governor Mike Easley to say something like this?
Consequently, we do not know the extent of the problem, but we do know that there will be a signifcant loss of gasoline in the Southeast, at least in the short term, until the electricity is restored.
This is not only a state problem, this is also a regional and a national problem. We are hoping that the Department of Energy will take some action as soon as possible. I have tried to get direction from DOE, but they have not yet responded.
In the meantime, I am asking all North Carolinians to conserve gas. Some stations are already out. Wait for more information before making Labor Day travel plans.We are taking steps to ensure that emergency vehicles have the supplies that they need, police, fire and rescue.
I am immediately suspending all non-essential state government travel. I am asking state employees to carpool wherever possible.
I am also asking all our citizens to be smart about their fuel consumption.
