Oh? What costs do you expect to be born by the gummint?

You see this as a hit to the economy? Only to the insurance companies, I
think. Others will make out like bandits. I can't see how it will hurt the
oil industry .. they are good at making money off of other people's
hardships. Why, just today I stopped off to fill up. Noticed that premium
gas is now over $3.07, a jump of about .12 to .14 since Sunday. A good
excuse for the oil folks to jump prices again, eh? Construction industry
and allied areas will have a field day. Lots of folks will have lost their
possessions, and they will need to replace them.

This whole thing just hurts the plain folks like you and me. I predict that
they will have to suck it up.
