We just bought my jeep what 3 weeks ago and this week they announced a 2.99 gas card for 3 years, bitches won't give it to us because it was bought before the time period.
And the price of food has sky rocketed here too. Give me a break, 9 bucks for a gallon of milk at whole foods.
What's wrong this picture?

You make me sick with that whine. Prizes this prizes that, you just bought a new car, wtf, you have enough. its about time you Americans stop wasting everything!

About cars. Everybody, here in Europe, is talking about cars running on vegetable oils... But that does bring a huge rise in food prices because half of the food producers, crop fields, are now going for those oils... There is going to be less food and more children are going to die in hunger in 3rd world. I'd say its about time to move on to hydrogen, but of course, string pullers have got other plans -- economical crisis for example, from which they can make great bucks and increase their power.
And the prize of everything is going up pretty fast because packages are mostly made of black oil. Even though fuel companies exaggerate with their rise, because its a good time to make bucks.
Here in Europe, we don't have to buy cars to get by, everything is small and reasonable.
