Before I moved here though, I lived in Ohio. I know firsthand what it's like to get nailed with a $300 electric bill that you totally can't pay right in the middle of winter. And I know what it's like to have to drive thirty-five miles to work and then thirty-five more miles home because there are no good jobs in the suburbs. And
that was before all this oil crisis crap was happening. What do you think is going to happen across the Midwest if gas prices are
still like this come Winter?
Do you think I want the entire Midwest to turn into
one big Detroit?
How much do YOU spend on oil in an average week? Because I guarantee it's more than the nine dollars that I do.
That means it's UP TO YOU to stand up for yourself against these businesses that are hoarding and monopolizing your natural resources. But instead you're saying that
I need to calm down? Good luck solving your problems that way.
