Hmmmmmm, I guess I was suppose to just crap my pants before getting to that bottle of generic brand Bismal, when (by passing the expensive one) as you think one can do so easily, especially while out on the road traveling down the interstate like I was in the situation.
No, you are supposed to take responsibility for your actions. If you had forgotten to bring what you needed on an interstate trip, you don't get to blame the interstate nor the price of gasoline for your bad call. Things sell at a higher price in certain places exactly because people make a bad call, and need something on short notice, or in a weird place. Strawberrys in Fairbanks for example. They don't cost the same as strawberries back home in the Lower 48 at the grocery store.

. The problem in hurting the so called supply and demand chain these days, especially the way that it has been insulated so well over the years by them, is to try getting people to stick together, and that is simply a monumental feat these days
It is a feat because those who take responsibility for their actions really aren't required to agree with those who don't, and demand that someone else "fix" the problem. You demand someone else "fix" gas or pepto prices, I buy a scooter (more fun than an electric car) and remember to take some with me while on a trip.

.We need to build roads around this corruption, that's if we can't get the road blocks to move on the roads that we are already on, but just think about how hard it is to build a new road, when it is better to clear the one that we are already on wouldn't you think?
The price of oil isn't high because of corruption, it is high because China's economy is growing and hundreds of millions of Chinese want to ride in cars now, instead of bicycles.

Why should they (the people) have to compromise their lifestyles (trucks), for that which is corrupt, and many now know it to be ?
Don't compromise your lifestyle. No one is saying you have to sell your truck. Only that IF you want to ride around in some monster truck getting 8mpg, it might cost you more than it did once upon a time. Just like everything else I might add, inflation has a way of doing that. I don't think the Constitution has anything outlawing inflation either.
Hmmmm Aren't we the perfect little packer and organizer who doesn't ever forget anything in life, so you expect everyone else to follow your lead (or we are all just doomed as idiots I guess), ummm because we can never be as perfect as you are, whom has all the answers to anything and everything right? I could go on for hours debating with the likes of you, and it wouldn't ever solve not even one problem in society, but that is the way someone like you is trained in life (i.e. to pricisely belittle and push back against people in a very arrogant way), and this is what, inorder to protect who maybe (the criminals or play play criminal minded in society, who seemingly number so many now) ?
Why is it that people like Shawn Hannity speak so much against government helping to solve any of our problems in life for us anymore (when abused), in which is part of their job to represent us as a people in this nation, but they (the Hannity's and such in life), want so badly for government to be so very small & weak in regards to it all, but why? I want government to be smaller yes, but precise (less wasteful) in everything that they do for this nation, and to make sure that it is operating for all Americans, and not just for certain groups of Americans, just as it has been for far to long now, and from either side of the isle it has been the case.
Now lets step back and look at it all in this way maybe (i.e. in a sort of turn it all around kind of way) - so lets say that the rich in their unionizing at the top, as they have done in corporations and in groups connected to these cliques surrounding these corporations have since done, in which has given them this mega wealth and control over it within the world that they have since created and do control. Now our government has had virtually no control over them much at all under certain administrations, and for quite sometimes now it has been this way, and this has directly affected our world as we know it big time these days also as citizens. This self generated wealth is even helping them in becoming more powerful than our government is in the nation, as is found to be, for which is ok, but only if it is controlled by Americans who have morals and values as Americans still left afterwards within their beings or souls, in which would be always influencing our government in good ways and not in bad ways.
Now exactly what is being found within this unity in which they the elite have since formed in the nation, and is it working or has it been working for all of Americans in the way that it should be or should have been ?
In forming a self governing body on their own, they then have had a tendency to become exclusive instead of inclusive in their cliques, and even so powerful that they refuse to help the government in anyway, other than to influence it with their money to always turn a blind eye against their bad (or) to call for government to shrink down dramatically but why? Is it in order to make way for them to have more power and control over their destiny without government intervention if need be, but then where does that leave the ones who are not welcome into their cliques, and are just looked at as objects or tools to exploit and run over in life ? The balance of powers in this nation is one that must be always considered for just that reason (balancing power), in order that all Americans have a good chance for a good life to fulfill their dreams, if and when they apply themselves in that respect. The door has been opened up for government to step in as it has, all due to a formation of arrogant egotistical powerful people, whose wish is always to control large overwhelming amounts of the nations wealth, and are not willing to invest that wealth properly and productively back into the nation, but why ?
Did they (the rich or elite) leave our government in the dust and behind, in order to begin all of this that we see now in America now, because they began hating what our government had become over the years ? If so, then what are the answers to it all, should we as a people suffer on and on and on, while these two fight each other at the top till the end now?
A short story: We as employee's were caught up for the last 3 years or so, in two companies that had merged together, where as the management of these two became hate filled rivals of each other from within instantly. When this happened, it was all out war that exploded next, and guess who began suffering the most in the situation (the middle/the employee's), who were caught between the two and taking all the punches for them. This has been the same with the government and the rich who want to control the peoples government for various reasons (some good/some not so good, and some just all out bad), and this so that they can do just as they please, and without any repercussions what so ever as a result of their actions, be it found as either infiltrators or instigators for profits only, and this be it above and beyond the balance that is suppose to be kept as healthy in our society at all times, and within our nation for all whom deserve this balance to be kept healthy as it should be.
So think about the rich as their own self government or governing body that has been created amongst them, when see these defendings and protections given them by the pundants or the media who are biased for them, against the peoples government who may want to try and balance out these things in which so many are concenred about now, then you will see the hypocrisy found in it all, because no matter their are going to be people who have formed together under certain groups in America, that may even become more poweful than America's government itself, but do they have a self interest to protect their turf in which they have formed, just as the nations government has a citizenry to protect as well ?
In summary: When defending the rich or elite, whom have joined together as a governing body unto themselves, isn't this the same as the poor, and the middle also defending the federal government, who is their only governing body, where as they have been left outside of the cliques and wealth that has been aquired and saved by the rich or elite for their own cliques in life ?
What are we seeing when watching these biased news or so called entertaining politcal talk shows anymore, I mean can we clearly see the deviding lines and what they represent to all of us in this nation, when these people do open their mouths in support of or either is being found in their anti-support of all depending ?
Let me ask these questions now - If the government is occupied by a democratic control in the whitehouse, is this who the newly formed elite hates the most, and why do they hate this party when they control the government of this nation ? Now if the government is occupied by the republicans instead, is this a government in which they (the elite) do love when they do control it, and if so, then how are they controlling it, and for whom does it benefit the most when they control it ? This is the indentifying factors of this war within, and so who is right and who is wrong mostly in the situation found now in it all these devides these days ? So yes these things affect us all, whether it comes down to prices and everything else we suffer under now in America, and this is all depending, because it all leads back to our specific leaderships, be it in some form, way or another, and at any given time in America, where the pendelum does swing back and forth upon us all, be it to hurt us or the help us all depending.
The corruption came, when we as a nation, allowed all these things to come upon us because we took our eyes off the ball for excessive greed reasoning, and exploitation reasoning. Now we get what we get until we work it back out somehow.
