My SECond job in '76 (3 days at a Hess station in Manassas) it was 26 cents. Turns out I wasn't cut out for being a gas jockey. (Nor the PREvious 3 days job, dishwasher at Hayloft Dinner Theater, working under hysterical Iranian chefs)

That is also true. Gas finally went way over a dollar per gallon and everybody was freaked about it. So Carter employed price controls, (or maybe they were already in place but he assumed the office.) Eventually he rescinded them. Gas jumped way up but at least everybody could get it.
It was so fucked up. At one point people were buying piece of shit 72 Impalas because they had like 40 gallon gas tanks that were FULL. (They were full because car dealers had permissions to buy gas)

Yeah, we're overpaying for space cargo delivery unless it's very low orbit. Low orbit we get a great deal because the launch finances skew the other way.
Law of supply and demand comes into play here, can't get around that. Elon is the only supply

They could do that if they were diverse enough

Price Controls....
You manufacture BIC Pens. You can manufacture them for $0.20 cents each. You sell them for $0.35 cents each.
Commie Government comes in and says "You must sell them for no more than $0.15 cents each". That's a Price Control.
So what happens next ? You stop making them (DUH).
Then, OH MY GOD, THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF BIC PENS!?!! HOW CAN THAT BE ?!?
Gov: "Let's round people up and FORCE them to make them as SLAVES.". Anyone gets in the way, or refuses, shoot them.
Explains everything you need to know about Communist Countries. Price Controls are a MAJOR MILESTONE on The Road Communism. Shortages follow, then Slavery.
Gas in late 70's, same shit. It was relatively inexpensive, of course THAT didn't matter, as you couldn't fucking buy it

The Indians didn't have access to horses until the Spaniards got here.
They couldn't even invent the fucking wheel, they dragged their shit everywhere they went on the sticks that held up their teepees
-
There's never just one
-
Well, there's a bunch of people who frankly, don't need to procreate
-
If the English didn't take away America from the stupid Indians, some other country would have. It never even occurred to them to ride horses until they saw us do it
