As far as raising gas prices‚ I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive.

It would take me three hours to get to work every day if I had to take public transportation‚ as I would have to board four buses to get there.

tough decision to make. I think George should continue to look for another corn supplier that sells quality corn at a reasonable rate. George can also find out who supplys their competitior Abco Snack Food corn and try to get the corn for the same price. George can ship the grain outside the United States to make a profit‚ but I believe that is a wrong choice.
