 smokarz join:2006-07-24 West Hartford, CT | Where's Uncle Sam ??? you know, in recent years i am beginning to question our government, and whose interests it serve.
we the consumers continue to pay historically high gas/fuel prices while the producers/sellers continue to earn HISTORICAL profits. quite frankly, i am very disturbed with having the thought that the likes of exxon, mobil, shell, etc. start changing $6 a gallon tomorrow. who's gonna stop them from doing just that?
likewise, the likes of att, comcast, etc. could start doubling their rates for internet services tomorrow, and there's not a thing we can do about it. for most consumers, internet is no longer a choice but a necessity. too much of our livelihood is tied to it (online banking, bill payments, schools, works, prescription drugs, you name it). competition? oh please, $150 for comcast triple play or $149.99 for att bundled package? |
