Fuel prices hold us in a stick up

Gas prices on the rise, it almost feels like a stick up, " Pay up or walk". The one-day protest was called by the Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation against rising fuel costs. Private bus and truck owners have been on strike since Monday for the same reason, disrupting transport services. Protests have taken place across India since the government increased fuel prices by up to 10% last week in response to surging world oil prices. Now i have seen pictures of these protests and they are not cute, crossing my fingers it doesn't rub off on the Guyanese people. "You know we proper love riots and free holidays." I also heard there is a rise in gas theft in the US. Interesting soon everyone will be walking around with gasoline bottles, scouting prospective victims. Monkey see monkey do... lol
