Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Re: $4 a gallon gas might have shut Straight down back in the day.

I am litterally responding to my own post because I have absolutely nothing to say or comment or add to any of the other posts. There was a protest at I guess was a KHK facility in some place called Milford Ohio, if I got it wrong it is because I don't even care enough to make sure I got it right. Those kids do not affect me, I can't do anything to help them from where I am at. They are going to have to get through it the same way that I got through it. I mean, whats the point? A few people carrying signs and yelling may have changed the way things are right there right now, but this
$4 dollar a gallon gas is changing much much more, in many many ways.
I notice there are far less one person vehicles on the road than just one month ago. There are also less taxi's. In the stores, especially grocery stores, people are leaving them pushing shopping carts that are filled to the brim. You hardly see the harried husband type standing in line with just a box of Huggies and a gallon of milk anymore. Now, people stock up because they wanna make their gas dollars count. Where I live, the bullshit industries are hurting big-time. The local Starbucks is changing it's hours, the tanning booth place is a ghost town. The local L.A. Weight Loss center shut down and consolidated three counties worth of offices (5) into just one near Chattanooga. Even the lonesome train whistles that used to sound so comforting late at night are happening with less frequency. I personally feel that the remaining Straight Spin-Offs are gonna go the way of the old local Disco's. They are gonna dry up and shut down, simply because people got more important things worry about than whether or not so and so's kid has a bad attitude.
