Doing so would eventually be reflected in higher gas prices for American drivers. It really depends on Vladimir Putin, to be honest. There is no shortage of oil in the world. It's just a matter of increasing the supply right now, getting it back into production."

Dear Fonseca
I am a pet sitter. Yesterday, I walked into what I thought was an empty house and discovered a husband and his mistress in bed. I was there to feed some cats and saw clothes strewn all over the place. The bedroom door was cracked so I looked in and saw what was going on. I quickly left. The husband had no idea I was there. He is unemployed and stays home all day. Should I tell his wife what I saw. She hired me, but I'm not sure if she would fire me or thank me. If I don't say anything, and she decides to look at her security camera, I could be in trouble anyways. What do I do?
