| Ahh! Big Oil will raise the price to $4 and MAYBE someone will
FINALLY complain (apathy), then they will be "compassionate"
and drop it back to $3.75 so we will think we are getting a
bargain, then in SEPT they will raise it to $4 and we will just
think the rise is "normal". NOBODY WILL COMPLAIN! And the
raise to $4 will be blamed on (fill in the blank) a)weather, b)the
'economy', c)'problems/fire' at the refinery, d)switching over to
making home heating oil for the upcoming 'cold winter',e)all of
the above, and if THAT doesn't work, then they will blsme it on
the 'war in Iraq' (from whom we haven't bought a DROP of oil in
almost 30 years!).
And at the end of 2008, Big Oil can give all of their execs another
obscene raise and report MORE record profits! |
