It is just ASTOUNDING how quickly we went from 1 "Vermont" style CCW to 24 or so. Like the blink of an eye, politically. As fast as Prohibition became unpopular and repealed.
And here I sit. In Maryland. Yeah, I know. If the rest of the country keeps this up, I may luck out and my state will be forced to comply as a fait accompli. It will have to be dragged kicking and screaming, but dragged it may well be.
(That last sentence feels grammatically correct and grammatically awful at the same time.)

In other news, gas prices plummeted here, overnight. Funny how some gas stations dropped the price by 36 cents while other did not, dropped in not as much. And don't go "IUt's just he big brand gas station stealing extra profits!" Because the Exxon next to the independent are both the same in their sub 36 price drops. I think they figure local traffic will bear that. The commie here at work thinks it's all Big Oil trying to screw him personally, and he doesn't understand how futures markets work or that you aren't paying for what is in the ground at the station, but for the NEXT tank worth will cost. That's why gas prices can drop precipitously in Novemember when Hillary loses even before the inauguration. Assumption of a less punitive regime.
Most, but not all, of the local stations here dropped 20 cents - they are all right at 1 dollar over where they were when this all started.
ReplyDeleteIt's $4.15 here in the eastern panhandle of WV. I had to go to Boonesboro, MD, this morning. Filled my tank there for $3.68.
ReplyDeletewhy the heck do you stay there?
