Chicago Businessman Donates $1 Million in Gas
Rising gas prices are affecting everyone, in pretty much all corners of the earth – and that includes both sides of the 49th parallel here in North America. Some governments have taken steps to help dull the pain, either with cash rebates or tax credits.
Some will see in these gestures attempts by politicians to influence voting habits during the next election, of course. We'll let you be the judge of that. For Willie Wilson, it wasn't the first time he's done this since the war in Ukraine started a month ago. On March 17, he held a similar exercise with 10 gas stations, with a cap of $200,000. Chaos ensued because it was so unorganized. Monster traffic jams occurred.
In case you’re wondering, the price of a gallon of gas currently sits at about $5 in the Chicago area.
