Gas is not expensive.
Dear idiots,
Gas is not expensive, and you all should stop complaining about how now it costs you and extra $10 a week to fill your tank. So on Tuesday don't stop and get your Grande Double Espresso Cum Laude and Caramel, and on Thursday don't supersize your triple large burger combo if it's really putting a dent in your wallet.
But "oh oh oh it used to be..." Shut up. I want you all to take out your Consumer Price Index charts.
Jesus christ you all lost yours? Ok, ok.
We will use the years of 1982-1984 as our reference point, and give all goods at that time a value of 100. (As the CPI does.) As of right now, the average rent is 199.7. Alcohol is up to 183.6. The average restaurant tab is at 178.3. Tobacco is all the way up to 461.5. Right now, Gasoline is..., are you ready? 116. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN! THAT'S! THAT'S! Oh wait a minute...shit. That's not much at all, especially since everything else has doubled. And I see if I quit smoking, drinking, and eating out, not only will I be healthier, but it would in a sense make my gasoline CHEAPER than before.
Yes, the general public is retarded. Yes, I admit there was a time when the price going up 10 cents a gallon really did hurt me, but that was in high school and I was filling my tank with the change from my lunch money. I think if the prices of canned peas were loudly displayed over our roadways, we would be up in arms over peas now being $0.69 a can rather than $0.59.
And even if you think I am being an obnoxious, know it all conceited bastard, which I guess I am, and you're really that upset about gasoline being oh so expensive, think about this:
What are you going to do, stop driving?
