Gas prices are on their way up again as the U.S. and Iran continue to launch strikes at each other and ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz dries up. Lindsey Reiser has more.
It is simply amazing! Prices go up overnight when there is any excuse, but when price by the barrel drops it takes weeks or more to "adjust" it down. It is a simple case of price gouging. I guess these oil companies wait to buy at the highest price possible and forward that to the consumer. Any person who studies business knows it is a racket. Just like credit cards, or bank accounts, they deduct from your balance immediately, but it takes 7 to 10 days to refund a credit.
In the short term, the oil yuppies must be taken out of the chain and/or the USA must reserve its oil for the American people first the way the Saudis do. There has got to be a better way to distribute raw materials than allowing a tiny group of yuppie investor speculators to dictate what we pay for products and insert themselves into that equation without actually adding value to those products.
Well... It's expected, isn't it? Renew hostilities and blockades... Gas prices are gonna go up. The question should be how much higher it is expected to go. Oil reserves around the world, including the US, are drying up.
This shouldn't be news. The news should be that CEO'S are crooked corrupt and will never take a loss to keep prices lower. Pass the cost to the poor and workers while the rich and greedy make more. America, all hale the capitalist country where profit is king and corporations run the country
