Who wins and loses when gas prices skyrocket?

1May06 the Republicans turned on Big Oil..In a particularly delicious bit of populist sophistry, the party led by two oil guys that is pro-business, antitax and antigovernment meddling was talking loudly about greedy petro-executives, ..and withdrawing $2 billion in industry-specific tax breaks over 10 years. That's about a month's worth of profits for ExxonMobil.."we've got people like this that are working for a living, who are paying higher prices for their gasoline.." said ..Bush, .. at Fayard's service station in Biloxi, .. where a gallon of regular sold for $2.96...
The President visited the service station to discuss a number of largely ineffectual remedies for pulling down prices

New Orleans is fucked

eight months after Katrina hit, lifeless bodies of Americans are still being found:
Skeletonized or half-eaten by animals, with leathery, hardened skin or missing limbs, the bodies are lodged in piles of rubble, dangle from rafters or lie face down, arms outstretched on parlor floors.

more on Moore, and the dangerous delusion, spread by paid hacks, that nuclear is a salvation

AlZ: Why don't you reveal the truth about your soldiers, and the collapse of their motivation to fight, so that your people will know the truth about the war? Why don't you tell them about the continuing suicides among your soldiers? Why don't you tell them that none of your soldiers go to sleep unless they take sleeping pills and hallucinatory drugs, which make them lose their minds, and they become like dumb beasts, led by the pro-Zionist and Evangelist generals of your war to the slaughterhouses of perdition?

I exist, signed God
If I cracked open a 400 million year old rock and saw the words "I exist, signed God"
I wouldnt believe in God, I would look for a faker.
However... during a total eclipse when I saw the moon *exactly* eclipse the sun, I thought - thats like a sign saying "I exist, signed God" - (actually I didnt think that at the time. I was so spaced out by the direct, physical experience that I was perched on a huge sphere with other huge spheres, some doing nuclear fusion, where whirling about at tremendous velocities - You have to experience a *TOTAL* eclipse to get this sensation/realisation.. The God idea only occurred 18 years later.

Complaints cont...
'Unwired' broadband wireless internet have drooped even lower
A year ago, we were early adopters, in Mort Bay. line of sight, we regularly got our paid-for MegaBit
In recent months , in Annandale, with additional rooftop dish, we often got 300K sometimes 700K (still paying for 1M)
Last 2 weeks we are getting frequent time outs on web sites - seems Unwired have the same pipe, with a pile of new customers.
They have that simple confusion: profits as more important than service... a recipe for failure
Or is it rapid brand dilution? Time was that after many years, a premium brand (eg McIntosh Hi Fi) would be sold off and cheap&nasty products sold under that brand)
in sum: Unwired can NOT be recommended unless you get a discount..- the 1M account delivers about 300K with many timeouts
