    I haven't even looked at the links, and I already knew that. Cost of a bottle of engine oil hasn't changed, but gasoline which is cracked from sweet crude has gone through the roof. It's all smoke and mirrors for the scum capitolist price gougers.

    Also: big drug companies like Pfizer are breaking it off in us too. An asthma inhaler that cost $40 last year is now $150. I'm forced to use a Canadian pharmacy that has them for $75 and Pfizer's trying to block that source via lobbying.

    Big oil, big drugs, big government. I'd call 'em big pricks but they'd probably take that as a compliment.

    DAMN!!!!!!! 150 for an asthma inhaler, everything seems to be crazy expensive in the u.s.a specially in terms of oil and healthcare!

    If we are slightly lucky maybe Dubyah might even pretend to read that letter just like he pretends to read security briefings

    Just to clear myself. 10 danish crown != 7$ More like 1,4$ a liter or something like that. And yeah, we have free Health Care, but there's a small tendency for people to sign a private health-insurance at the moment, mostly because of some cancer treatments has a long waiting list.
