Back when gas was $3.75 a gallon, and every waitress in North Dakota was driving a new F-350, I sucked in my gut, broke out the red pencil, and figured out a way to keep my business alive.

In particular, one thing I did NOT do was whine to the government, demanding protection for my business model.

What goes around, as they say, comes around.
