"If you're one of those lucky six-digit earners, ask your secretary about the gas prices! An office loaded with six-digit earners will not be anywhere near as inconvienced by high gas prices as are we working stiffs who'll never earn a six-digit income in Y2K6 dollars."

Ummm... The coner office folks might be a little put out when they come to work and find that the proles upon whome they depend to actually, GET SOMETHING DONE aren't there 'cause the gas price made it more reasonable to stay home with the kids, or tend the veggie garden etc.

Or when it'll "pay" to work at a McDonald's within walking or bicycle distance.

Rent a room from someone and walk to work, yeah, minimum wage works almost everywhere in the US.

I know some people who bought their house a long time ago and can make the payments on min. wage just fine - trouble is, they're often earning less - they're not always working fulltime. But they squeak through, and they live in Huntington Beach! But, no car payments, no cable, no bigscreen, they live a lot like people did in the 1950s or so.
