OPEC is fking america

Wall St is fking america.

Its the speculators using fear to make fast money on oil, just like they did with the home mortgages that blew up 2 years ago.

Ok this is becoming insane with the gas prices!!! Someone (aka the government) needs to place a freaking cap to keep the oil/gas companies prices at a fair rate. We are in a depression and they keep charging more and more while more and more of our hard working Americans are out of work. How do they expect them to afford gas to look for a job ( I know everything is digital it's a point) but let's keep the little man down, he just pays your salary and pays for that company jet that's all. Just had to get that off my chest, it's just driving me up the wall.

Yeah, because the government sets the price for gasoline. Oh wait, they dont.

The oil companies dont care that you are out of work. They shouldnt care about you. They care about profit. Its a business. They have a bottom line.

Do you care about oil companies? Do you think their profits should be limited? They should be put out for your benefit? Sure you do. You have a bottom line as well. Youre not looking for a profit, but youre trying to save up money, same as them.

So you want to screw them, and they want to screw you. You want to be in the green, and so do they. Youre just pissy because they are in control of you. If you dont want to complain about it, maybe ride the bus? Ride a bike? Get a more economical car? Dont waste money on stereo equipment you dont need? Cut back spending in other places? Get a better job?

I think you should stop complaining and stfu. We have some of the cheapest gasoline in the entire world.

The housing market bubble was a product of the government. They messed with the market, and it corrected itself.

And you really want them fixing the price in the oil market?

The government didnt invent the CDO's that caused the crisis, nor did they sit in the banker's chair and approve liars loans.

And this is why I'm getting a diesel in my next truck...that, and they'll last a life time if you treat them right. What do you drive exactly?
