The point is that GOVERNMENT control of supply always screws
up the system. So, when it gets bad, the herd in the big
cities demand more government control. That will fix
everything, right, NOT.

the airport to fuel

to a municipal

all, municipalities

general public, fuel

checks and balances
| (yes, the treasurer is a real witch when it comes to
accountability of

| COuld we do it by patch and mend? Possibly. Would it pay
for itself? Not
| unless the mogas sold for approximately what avgas is
selling for.
