But im sure I'll get the comeback , there's a real shortage now thats why the prices are up, unfortunately gas stations have ALREADY paid for that gas so they're gouging you and then the oil companies expecting growth of demand up the price to the dealer. Thats the definition of gouging not supply and demand , supply and demand would be slowly over time. A steady hard climb should only decrease the supply and not increase the price as the manufacturing process still costs the same. If the former was true certain fast foods would be worth 30$ a shot....Look at consumption rates yet prices only steadily increase slowly over time despite peaks and bumps in the road. It's a simplistic model but its the basis for our economic system (despite the slowly growing gap between min wage and the cost of living :) ).
I can see you have spent many years working for distribution. I worked for a multi-million dollar industrial distributor and even though we would have 2 million worth of a certain product on shelf, when we recieved notice of a price hike, it was AUTOMATICALLY adjusted to current stock. Paid for at the lower cost.Quote:

This is a catastrophic event that had immediate effects!
it has a lot to do with inflation too...
we have a worthless piece of legal counterfeit paper that has no value other than what we're told it does...it's not backed by anything, it's not federal and there is no reserve.
the dollar's been devalued about 40% in the last few years the last time i checked...and the country can't go on forever with multiple trillions in debt...we're considered a wealthy nation...when each of us shoulders about 23K of the debt.
and i have no debt, which means there are people out there with a hell of a lot of debt. i don't hear people with 100K debt screaming about how wealthy they are. then again, that's doublethink.
we gotta get rid of the federal reserve, but that would be real conservatism, and the fake socialist neo-cons and their partners in bed, the fake 'liberals', will make sure that never happens, and that most people have no idea how the fed works or what it is.
not to mention...jim tucker of american free press, who year after year goes to the yearly bilderberg group meetings and always correctly forecasts what they say is going to happen (he said they decided that communism would fall in a staged affair before it happened, that the iraq war would star in the spring of '03, not in '02...etc. he always hits the nail on the head) said that kissinger is quite pleased that oil would get to 150 a barrel...
so we better get used to this...the prices will never come down...they'll probably settle around $10 a gallon when it's all said and done...
unless people wake up and kick these elite assholes out of the way...way to go unelected global dictatorship!
