Stuck at the Pump
I don’t know about a lot of other people but I am pretty pissed! I am a Middle Tennessean, Nashville to be exact, and living with the aftermath of hurricane Ike. However I have never, again NEVER, been this directly affected by what has transcended in such a short time period, which pretty much seems like Armageddon. This is it, a few days after the hurricane I left the city for some vacation. While on vacation, I was told about how terrible things had gotten leading up to this point and how the media stressed the importance of gas and gas prices, which is something that I have grown accustom to hearing.
This is where things started to finally hit me, once I arrived back in Nashville it became very obvious what the outcome of this would be. Right after I got off the plan and was driving home I noticed there were lines of cars waiting as long as three hours to fill up their tanks, so far back that I myself almost hit the back of a car that happened to be “parked” at a busy intersection waiting to pump his gas. This is my major question: Since the beginning there has always been the “haves” and the “have-nots” my thing is this, are there “investors” that truly get paid off the spike in oil demands or is it that movies like Boiler Room, Wall Street and books like Rigid a bunch of crap or is the corrupt things that I read about what really happens? Because I am truly beginning to believe that there are many people getting paid from this, or exploited here. Someone with a background in this subject please explain the big picture besides the obvious…
