• The Economy's Bad When Your Cocaine Bill Comes With A Fuel Surcharge [Fundamentals Of The Economy]

  Anthony Salinas, 18, of Hammond, Indiana is just a businessman; He's got to watch out for his bottom line, and the rising price of gas has forced him to drop a fuel surcharge on top of what he sells — cocaine. It's not an ideal situation, but economic forces are driving up the cost of everything, and a small businessman can only absorb costs for so long until passing them on to the customer. Up until police decided his operation was illegal and warranted his arrest, Salinas had managed to keep the charge to only 11% of the purchase price on a quarter ounce, and $25 on a $215 bag of coke wasn't going to break anyone's bank. It's just a damn shame our national addiction to oil is now also affecting our national addiction to cocaine.
