Well, at least we are getting a brief respite from rising gas prices which are remaining around $4.30 here in northeast Illinois, the highest it has ever been. And, it is around $4.60 to $4.70 in rip-off city, Chicago.
It used to be that if demand declined and supplies went up, prices would come down "But Not No More" in our new GRB-driven economy. Like they said in the movie, "It just doesn't matter."
These guys want their money and even if demand goes down and supplies go up, they are withing their rights to raise prices anyway.
There is no oil shortage. The GRBs at Big Oil have definitely cut back on production to help keep the prices up. I have even heard that US oil has been sold overseas and sure hope that is not true.
Don't these guys know that their pursuit of the Almighty dollar (worthless as it is becoming) hurts their fellow people?
And, the GRBs are not just Big Oil. All those commodities traders, hedge fund folk, stock market and day-traders share in the blame as well.

WHAT WOULD WILL ROGERS SAY ABOUT THEM?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
