Gas is a derivative of oil. Oil is a commodity. Consumers have to accept the prices and prepare for price fluctuations as there are no substitutes unless you change vehicles (but an electric vehicle, take a, Uber (so long as you are not driving), or take public transit). I acknowledge this reality and I am prepared for price fluctuations.
Massage has a market rate. Consumers can seek out the best experiences for the best rate. Consumers can walk away from a woman charging too much.
But you just defined your stupidity with your own rationale. First, you complain about gas prices going up when you have no control over the prices; and Secondly, you choose to spend more on an Indy than a MPA. If you saved that extra cash spent on the Indy you’d have more cash to spend on the higher gas prices. Any accountant would say you are nuts for spending more on something where you can control the price when you cannot afford it. Because, if you complain about gas prices, you cannot affordspending more on an Indy.
