5. Price controls. Got to have them.
Disasters like this are no time for capitalist bullshit and corporate profits.

7. Sorry to be the bearer of good news but
There has been no disaster. The rigs are holding up just fine in the Gulf. They will be operating as soon as the storm passes. There is no supply problem with gas.
