Yep, devaluation of the Dollar means it is worth less!
Are We getting screwed, I would say yes to that.
I drive 4.5 miles a day as I live close to where my business is. Why, for many reasons.
Do I know people who moved to Podunck City in the country and commute, yes I do!
So, in Podunk City, they have to drive to a bigger City to get gas, groceries, clothing centers, work out gyms, movie theaters or what ever. Does it cost more to drive their SUVs, yes, do they mind, no! Do they have excuses yes.
Do they complain, yes.
But the cost still goes up and we get less!
