19. Ahhh nice of you to join the conversation
So you are advocating that someone who has lived in the same rural area her entire life and has a $200 month house payment, lives somewhere where she can help take care of her elderly parents, pull up stakes and move so she can start over in her 50's? What happens if her job craps out? That does happen frequently, you know.

Seriously? It's really NOT as easy as you would like for it to be.

Oh, as in most industrialized countries that pay high prices for gases...they also offer healthcare and other benefits of paying those high prices...last I looked, we don't.
