Says the man who just drove how many miles?

Cost was not mentioned as a consideration. The "staff" is used to seeing this update in a certain way and apparently they will be confused by or upset to see changes to the format.

For the long-haul trucker, there is no slack in the near-term, and a reduction in fuel tax will keep a check on inflation by allowing portions of the economy to function at lower cost.

But, I think you are right--eliminating the tax would allow continued consumption and would prevent a certain portion of our economy from failing--and I think it might be necessary for that portion to fail, because it would be a healthy thing to do. But it takes a certain will to push that through.

But this conversation is getting decidedly inane. We should continue it outside.

A change in font would induce a certain rectal fear, then?

plays nicely.

asking price is $35,000 if anyone is interested.

[semlin]
