I’m driving around L.A. all pissed off at myself this morning. [View all]

For not taking any kind of action for this current fucking gas increase. Is this going to be the new norm, driving up prices by claiming equipment failures, storage problems etc.then dropping the prices when they begin to hear complaints? Recently around here they went up over $1.00 then they went down( thought they would stabilized) , now their up again.

We all should feel like idiots, letting them get away with this, and the only way its gonna change is to threatened every elected dem. official with a primary fight if they are not out there every day, fighting for us!!......I’m starting a petition tomorrow... These oil companies have fucked enough with us...
