I fully agree with both of you, don’t get me wrong. I was just merely pointing out that just because some people dont’ want higher energy costs doesn’t mean that those people feel we should start socializing everything. Also just because some of us are concerned about higher energy cost doesn’t mean also that we’re in worse financial shape than say the Breeze, as he seems to suggest.
I’m trying to understand the thought process, but it’s difficult to. It seems like the suggestion is. “If you’re like me, you’re a winner that will be able to weather this recession. If you’re not like me, you’re probably a loser that isn’t as well off as me.”…Keeping in mind this coming from an enginerd, that again no offense, is no safe profession to be in either…Also having declared he is long in dollar cost average portfolio, and recently spent a hell of lot of money over memorial day weekend, drives an overpriced prius that still won’t recoup fuel savings for the next 7-8 years assuming an annual mileage of 10k/year, and commutes to downtown to work. I’m just trying to understand how one could possibly think one wouldn’t be impacted by this economy.
I’ve got a groundbreaking, earthshattering tip to save on fuel costs. Drive less. It’s probably an unfamilar concept here in CA, but the solution is profoundly astonishing.
