This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — Which necessity of life is hardest to afford?
The Council issues the ruling of ‘gasoline,’ but was unable to agree on a rationale.
Connie offers this opinion, joined by Tom and Job:
Gasoline, because I fully believe the greedy American oil companies are taking us for a ride, at the expense of our economy and mental health.
Erin concurs in the judgment, joined by Chloe:
Gasoline. In order to work (to pay for life), a great many people depend on cars, public transportation, and other forms of transportation that use up gas. Not only is it expensive, it’s bad for the environment as well. If a person can’t get to work, she can’t pay for any other necessities, either.
David concurs in the judgment:
Gasoline — I spend at least 100 to 150 dollars per week just on gas.
Steve concurs in the judgment:
The cost of energy has tripled in the past decade. Horrible.
Mike dissents:
Housing — in many suburban areas, it far outpaces minimum (or even higher) wages.
Josh, Djere and MC-B played no part in the determination of this issue.

Tom concurs with my opinion and yet I am silenced on this issue and my name is stricken form the record.
You can send that complaint letter directly to WINC Communications. I plan to call them soon myself.
Sounds like you should’ve joined me over in the mental health category anyway…
