lol, still cheap compared to the UK.

Although our standard fuel is 95 octane.

Looked like a tourist stop so not sure that's a good example since it's always higher.

Maybe it's real and maybe it's not. But if it's real and just a tourist trap that's still damn
expensive.


And because of the censorship and head games that big tech plays I never fully believe
anything that I read on the Internet.

This gas station is famous because it's the only one in the area and the only option for anyone who didn't prepare. They have been price gouging for years.

It is the same.

Isn't that what unchecked capitalism is all about?

Someone must have read "Looking Out for Number One" and inspired by Jeff B's amazon success at scraping gazillions in wealth while everyone else is slipping into disparity.

Easy fix though. Stay informed and plan ahead.

If you find yourself out of gas in a gouge shop, it's not their fault.

You would be very hard pressed to find another industry as government messed with as the
gas-oil.

Kill all government meddling in the marketplace and then we'll be able to finally see what
unchecked capitalism looks like and have a discussion about it's negatives or merits.

But as long as government has any say in what happens in industry or the marketplace we
won't have capitalism but instead it's just varying degrees of socialism.

Fact : We need some socialist programs to mitigate the damage to capitalism.

Such as?

I'm not trying to bait anyone but I see the argument for such things as universal healthcare
as just ensuring the survival of the obese and other assorted unhealthy people.

In a pure capitalist environment people need to take their health seriously because medical
care comes with a price tag.

On the contrary, the government provides the most elite form of corporate socialism to the largest of transnationals (military, finance, energy, pharma, agriculture, technology).

The record is clear on this (easy to verify), and evident in the everyday lives of all those who are not protected by a "too big to fail" or "most significant political donors" status.

Government "meddling" only happens with everyone else.

Capitalism does not exist. There is only a popularly repeated false mythology to keep things exactly as they are.

1. Capitalism benefits the small guy - Milton Friedman
2. The masses are asses - Alexander Hamilton

I used to believe that the monsters (ie: Police, Miltary, etc) that obey the commands of
of The Monster (ie: Government) we're the biggest evil scumbags on earth

Now I believe that the unquestioning and complaint masses are the biggest evil piece of shit
scumbags in the universe.

Here's a pic for your answer :

You've got shit for brains if you think this can be fixed without any "socialist" ideas.
This is created by American capitalism.

In your head, regulating price gouging for housing is "socialist", and that is what makes you a natural born idiot that bows to "economic slavery".
But you probably like that condition because it creates numerous people who are willing to suck your cock on camera because they are broke.
And that's the only way they'd suck your narcissistic cock.



Now be mad at me for telling the truth.

Totally normal price in Germany, depending on what time and where might even be cheap.

UK is about $8 a gallon and rest of EU is about $7
