Pumps' Perplexities

The price of a hunk of beef has gone up.....(Even though the bull
is Canadian and the butcher Mexican)......The price of a DVD
rental at Blockbusters has gone up......The price of a cup of
diet coffee ice cream at Bruster's has gone up.......And along
with everything else so has gasoline......

If the price of a gallon or liter of gasoline has gone up in Canada,
Australia and the United States, why do we not hold the US
Governmental officials responsible for beef and ice cream pricing?....
In fact why do we not complain to the other countries in the world
that since THEIR prices are high, it is making OUR prices high?.....

I suspect that somewhere in China there is a 'sweat shop' laborer
who is complaining about the increase in price of a gram of rice.....
I can even see a caveman complaining about the fact it will cost
him two women for one dead ox....."Why five years ago it was only
ONE women"........A loaf of bread will be $20.00 in the year 2050
but you will be earning $100,000 as a burger flipper.....In life and in
time everything is relative.....Pumps
