The average cost of gasoline historically is nearly $3 a gallon when adjusted for inflation. $4 a gallon isn’t a big difference or a big deal. 

It’s basically banning cars that weight 3,000 lbs or more. Sure it’s achievable but it’s massive economic millstone passed by people who don’t need trucks or SUVs in their daily lives, and feel they can impose their narrow views and lifestyles on everyone.

Peak oil! Peak oil! Peak oil!

Your link mentions airlines lost $55 BILLION in two years not to long ago. A few good years now doesn’t change their terrible financial history, over 100 airlines have filed for bankruptcy in the US alone.

“The worst sort of business is one that grows rapidly, requires significant capital to engender the growth, and then earns little or no money. Think airlines. Here a durable competitive advantage has proven elusive ever since the days of the Wright Brothers. Indeed, if a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty…

I thought it was Tebow at first but then realized title said “prospect”.

I imagine she had the same look on her face the first time he took off his pants in front of her.

An Oklahoma athlete doesn’t beat or rape a woman, and of course Deadspin tries to turn this into a bad thing.
