Today I saw another news story on CNN about rising gas prices. And it made me wonder if the oil companies are using the news media to help increase fuel prices. In the story the talking heads were reporting we should be grateful we do not live in Europe where the average gas prices are $8.70 a gallon. So what. This is not Europe, fuel taxes and fuel prices have always been different. So why should we be grateful when big oil so proudly flaunts their profits while f*cking us over.
When the story ended it made me wonder if the big oil companies are using a propaganda model to prepare Americans for even much higher prices, to keep us consuming oil, and using the media to deliver the message. And while they are delivering this message they are also telling us how to save on gas consumption, but no one is saying we should stop driving and stop spending money on gas.
