This 1938 photo by Dorothea Lange seems quite relevant today.

2. Some Gas stations, here in Florida, have air hoses for 50 cents.

Was a quarter but (as we know) Air is getting up with fuel....Yeah.
Geez..I remember when Gas Stations had this machine..called an Air Compressor for the patrons!

4. I was surprised to see one at the station down the block.

Those things get vandalized alot. They're probably charging a maintenance fee.

5. The air machine at our local Walmart charges $3.00!

Try to find one at a gas station, though.

6. California Law

Just ask for free air, and they have to give it to you. This s a liability issue, so this is why the law is in effect.

7. The station down the road has air/vacuums, five mins for $1.

I love that it does both! Parking is a bit tight where they put it, though.

8. If you're a Costco member, you get air for free.

In fact, it's not air but nitrogen. There is debate whether nitrogen is better for tires, but I prefer it because it stays in the tire longer than plain air, and the pressure is more stable with temperature changes.

9. TR gave us the phrase "malefactors of great wealth". Our malefactors are orders of magnitude -- quite literally --

than anything TR ever saw. And it's his former party that enabled them to grow so monstrously powerful.
