Why on earth do you drive a truck? Thats your problem right there.

Also you wondered why the government hasn't stepped in. Firstly capitalism, if you did not know is based on a "hands off policy" therefore governments shouldn't interfere with the economy for fear of tarnishing it. Although the U.S sentae had hearings in December and brought forth all the leading CEO's of Oil companies (Exxon, Bp..etc) and the hearings where useless to say the least because the CEO's said they don't control the prices and denied that their profits really mattered and the Exxon CEO said something like "We are all in this together" A ironic statement for a man who has made $150,000 a day while being CEO of Exxon..gg capitalism.
