As pump prices go up, every station has the same price out front in every market. They claim it's the market, but where is the competition? No gas station is better than any other?
Time to break up big oil. Price fixing.

Those are an incredibly low priority, at the end of a long line of grabbier hands.

Make stock buybacks illegal again, that might change. For now, go look for other villains.

And oil boys maundering about how generopus they are to the little people who own stocks makes me want to vomit.

And no, it's not just the oil business doing this. It's all of them.
