Feeling Gas Pain
Jun 2nd, 2008 by Mark
IBM has an interesting article up about gas prices and who is feeling the pinch the most. Not surprisingly, it’s here in the land Social-Engineering.
The liberals should be happy about this tidbit:
Nearly half of commuters will start looking for other options once gas prices reach $4.50 per gallon. And one in five commuters (more than one in four for Los Angeles) say that their commute has negatively impacted their job or school performance.
The love forcing people into commie-style transportation, while they strut and preen pretending to care about bringing gas prices down. Also, here in California; tax revenue is down because people are driving less (gas taxes are a big revenue source) and not spending as much money on food or entertainment.
I have to admit I am enjoying watching the liberals kvetch about the lack of tax revenue that they caused by driving up gas/housing/utility prices. If it were not so detrimental, it would be funny.
