Hot Gas

By Kleinheider Posted on June 9, 2008 at 9:17 am

Newscoma thinks the New York Times is right on the money about the impact of high gas prices on rural areas:

Recently, I went to court. Gas theft was an issue. Farmers are having to watch their implements. It went from people stealing anhydrous to stealing gas.

When people get boxed into a corner, they get desperate.

This is more dire than people think. I can’t say that enough.
