Toothy Blowjobs

This kind of shit drives me bananas, even though I know it's pointless to even bother caring. Sellers shrug their shoulders "what can I do?" during an aberrational jump in their costs, and we buyers suck it up by paying more for something. "We'll support you in these difficult times," we say. Then when his costs come down, what do you know - shit stays the same price. "Experts" like to talk in circles with us about supply and demand and "the market will dictate itself" blah blah blah, but the fact is, unless there is some sort of mechanism in place (such as gas, for instance) prices go up, but they don't come down, no matter what. The price of a slice of pizza is just like executive power and your high school girlfriend - once the bloom is off the rose, there's no going back.
