People might have thought this was ranting, and not a real question.
Great to hear that people in US are striking these days. About time they stood up for themselves. It won’t do any good though. Look at the UK. We pay about $2+ a litre! We don’t have too much sympathy with you lot!

It doesn’t really sound like a legitimate question.. your basically telling people about it. It’s not a chat network lol

Basically you were asking for opinions and/or support, and that is what Yahoo calls chatting, sry…
Your question was deleted for chattiness. Now you saw what was wrong with it.
Questions like that absolutely serve no purpose in the Answers community at all. This is the most-violated rule of the Community Guidelines.
Check out the following information about the chatting violation you’ve incurred:
What is considered “chat”?
Yahoo! Answers is a question-and-answer community of people sharing knowledge. We provide a couple of different ways for members to connect with one another, including email, instant message, and a comments area, so chatting in questions and answers is not allowed. When people use Answers to chat with each other, it lowers the quality of the site and inhibits knowledge-sharing.
Here are a few examples of what we consider chatting:
-How (are you, old are you, was your day, is everyone today)?
-What are you/What am I (doing, thinking of, wearing, etc.)?
-Guess my/Can you guess my/What’s your (name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.)?
-Do you like my (avatar, web site, poem, etc.)?*
We also consider questions that call out other users by name to be chatting. If the intent is to ask a follow-up question in response to someone else’s question and that person is not available via email or IM, post a new question that’s open to everyone in the community to answer – there might be someone else who’s better equipped to answer it.
* Please note that exceptions to this rule would have to satisfy two criteria: The question would have to be 1) advice-seeking and 2) knowledge-worthy. For example, it would be OK to ask, "How can I improve my poem?" or "How do I make my avatar look more attractive?"
