Default Re: Gas tax expires and prices drop in Japan

Wages and gasoline prices as well as consumer goods need to be more balanced. We are becoming a slave/debtor/welfare nation.
But now that the gas prices have remained high with the cost of food going up, people are suffering. This past month we saw the most meals served at a local rescue mission for a non holiday month in the history of the mission. And the workers said most of the people were women and children. People who work and are not homeless, but can't seem to make ends meet.
