The funniest part is you have a KFC in AU lol. ROCK ON!! Put in some taco bells and Wendy's and I'm there brother!
I get cranky about seeing $4.60 for 87 in California because in that region the average income is double or more than in the midwest, even for like jobs. Yet the midwest has almost as high of prices for gas even tho we're poor lol. That ain't right!!
On a crazy off the wall side note, I think this recession is exactly what the US government wants, regardless if it forces a global recession or not. The world looks to the value of the US dollar as a bench mark and as it continues to crash and create more stagflation the USD will eventually be phased out and replaced by this new "Amero". The important govt corporations still make money thru a recession (oil, defense, millitary etc). And while Canada and Mexico openly admit to agreeing on the Trilateral agreements with the US and the Amero being legit, it makes me think that this is all part of the governments plan to force people into submission. Then they rely even more on the federal govt's help. It allows them to take more rights from the people and bypass the Constitutional laws that are meant to prevent the federal branch from becoming too powerful. I smell a trap here!
