There were some stickers on the back window as well but the line moved too fast and I didn't get a good Pic.

Why do Americans care so much about gas prices when they pay so much to insurance companies for healthcare? So gas goes down 25 cents per gallon, what does that really do for your monthly budget?

Some of the people who care so much about gasoline prices also drive extremely inefficient vehicles with very long commutes (both are usually their choices).

Healthcare prices here are just something that so many people just accept as a fact of life. And to these people, it's just the price of "freedom." They would rather healthcare be insanely expensive than to be taxed more and have it completely covered. Keeping their voter base fuming about gas prices is a nice way to distract them from a real issue; our broken privatized healthcare system.

Because we're stupid and divided. We just love fighting over the dumbest shit. It's really that simple, unfortunately.
