first thing these mother fuckers need to do is work more than a couple months then take a couple week break. those mother fuckers want time off... TAKE LEAVE... they already get paid extreemly well, they work less than teachers do, and get life time pensions. for a life time pension at the amount it is... they should work 365 days a year and be fuck'n happy.

I vote we all get a 15% raise, work a maxim of 200 days a year with the time of paid, full no deductible insurance & lifetime pension at no less than 75% of normal pay.

As I don't have any loans or stock,it matters very little to me what those market do. I went out and got a couple ribeyes for $5 a lb,filled up the tank for $2.95 a gallon and bought 2 gallons of milk for $2.99 each. Gas has fallen almost $1 a gallon,gee I feel sorry for all those guys that bought options and helped drive the price up....
The sad part is, oil is cheaper than it has been in like 15 years and you're happy that you're paying more than 3x what it cost 15 years ago.

Sure,hey it's 100x what it was 50 years ago. I count my blessings buddy. I can sit around and be moan what's wrong or celebrate what's better. I choose celebrating what's better! In my personal situation,paying $1 a gallon less for gas is outstanding. You know bro,you,me and everyone else was just bitching about the price of gas just a couple of weeks ago. The price goes down 25% and you're still not happy. What, does it have to get below pre 1970s prices before I'll get a smile out of you? With gas going down,pretty much EVERYTHING will see a price decrease,isn't that a good thing for the average guy?

Oh wait,maybe I'm confused. Are you saying that gas was $1 a gallon 15 years ago? Oil is about $75 a barrel right now.... Anyway,I'm happy if I save $.50,it's better than nothing!

The point was, we shouldn't be very happy when we are getting scammed into thinking $2.95/gal is a bargain. The last time oil prices were this low we were in the $0.90/gal range... The artificial inflation on fuel has made it possible for big oil to make us think that $1 off within a few months is a fantastic discount, meanwhile the fuck is in the ass...
