or whinny. over the last couple weeks there have been a couple of protests by truckers over the cost of fuel. thats like a car wash complaining about the cost of water or a road builder about concrete costs. look, you chose to be a trucker. a trucker needs fuel. i think its ridiculous to ask the president to use our strategic fuel reserves to lower fuel prices.
if its not working out, perhaps you should find something else to do. this all reeks of the auto companies lobbying congress to keep CAFE standards high. we already have the most lenient MPG standards in the industrialized world. its ridiculous. no one like paying $3.50 at the pump. but to save money and the environment i think that cost is a good impetus to make vehicles of all sorts more fuel efficient. maybe people will drive less. maybe live closer to work, and reduce sprawl a little bit.
i live in DC. rent is HIGH. but i dont take a day off to protest it and say the government should give me money to make up for it. it was my decision to live here. i have to live with that or move elsewhere. truckers chose to be truckers and it is not the rest of the taxpayers' job to bail them out. not to mention that these rolling road blocks used up a few gallons of fuel.
quit whining and get back to work.
