.........Countdown to starvation

I remember in the late 70' early 80's going over the Peace bridge for $ .25 to Canada to get gas, it was so much cheaper than ours. Now its $3.25 to go over, get hassled on our side of the bridge by customs agents , and their gas is a lot more than ours. (eh)
Our gas has been going up hourly. No ****, went to lunch, drove by gas station $2.84 .05 cents more than day before, on the way home $2.90.
It reminds me of Amazon, there was an article where its founder made 12 BILLION dollars the >day< before as his stock empire increased, and today he is raising the price of his Prime service $20. They will choke out every last penny, then what?
