Re: Re: Re: old trends
That particular rationalization for why it's okay for you to control my life and money dates back quite a few years, too.
I pay for my own "toys," thanks. If fuel is expensive, you might want to look into why.
Don't you live in Canada? Are you aware that you're the prime exporter of petroleum to the U.S.? Of the approximately 5 billion barrels the U.S. imports a year, Canada accounts for about 900 million, more than any other single country. That number increases every year (see chart) with about half coming from exploiting oil sands. At 80 bucks a barrel, that runs about $72 billion a year.
It's entirely possible that I'm paying for your toys.
