Taichiliberal
Shaken, not stirred!
The chronology of the posts clearly shows this Super Freak-ing LYING POS stating at least twice that oil companies are not corporations. And since the American oil companies gouged the American public with "oil shortages" for a period of time, they could jolly well afford to drop the prices for period TO AVOID AN ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE, as you sure as hell can't make money if everyone can't afford your product, now can you bunky. (Jeez, these fucking stupid neocon toadies just can't think beyond the mantras). Case in point....gas prices were slowly climbing BEFORE Libya became a problem, don't cha know!
Link us up Taichi.... since you are too ignorant to use quote boxes... just tell us the post numbers where I stated oil companies are not corporations.
All one has to do is look at Post #33, 39 and 69 to know how Super Freak-ing full of it you are.
Then show us where American Oil companies gouged us with shortages.... surely you have examples that show where the American Oil companies deliberately cut supply levels. Do show us what you are referring to.... if you can.
Note to taichi.... as economic activity picks up, DEMAND picks up.... as demand increases, PRICES increase. That said, gasoline prices only ticked up about $.15 on average in the US prior to Tunisia, Egypt etc....
This was already addressed with links and logical discussion....that our Super Freak-ing intellectual coward now wants to play dumber than he is and rehash the discussion proves he neither fully read information provided or just can't stand admitting error on his part.
Oh, and as for your BS about 15 cents only increase prior to Tunisia, Egypt, etc...you can check out Consumer Report's Car blog.com from December 2010 on and add up the gas pump increase in prices. Here are some examples and commentary for you to ignore:

Bottom line: when they state that oil barrel price skyrockets, that DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE OIL ALREADY BOUGHT AND CURRENTLY RESIDING IN OUR REFINERIES AND GAS PUMPS. We don't wait day to day for shipments to fill the tanks around the country...so why raise current prices as to what's coming down the pike in a few weeks? Speculation, which is necessary, does NOT mean you have to start speculating against others speculations, but as to what's actually the commodity, and what is coming. And that can be regulated, as my previous links propose.
