Before Hurricane Harvey hit, gas was $2.39 a gallon. When Harvey hit the gulf, the refineries shut down and gas went to $2.59. Refineries are coming back on line and now gas goes to $2.79. That’s a 40-cents per gallon increase in less than a month or a 17% increase. Price gouging at its best.
Hillary Clinton released a book about the reasons why she lost the election. The gist of the book was a beat down of her own party. Hmmm….didn’t that party say she was the “best’ candidate for the job? Wonder what the party thinks of her now? We now know what she thinks of the party.

What’s with these banks and their lack of customer account security? You get a notification that your credit or debit card is being deactivated and a new one will replace it because someone hacked the bank’s database. Now, you have to notify every service provider that automatically bills or credits your account. Shouldn’t we be compensated for the inconvenience?
