Gassy

Here's the new PR defensive from big oil makers. I am not making this up.

"Uh, we can't reduce gas prices now. If we did, there would be a run on the pump and our supply would drop to an all time low."

This may be the stupidest talking point I've heard yet. So people, who generally own vehicles that hold 15 to 20 gallons of gas, will somehow buy 25 to 30 gallons because the prices drop one dollar per gallon? Simple 3rd grade math debunks this argument real quick.

It's almost as stupid as Exxon's CEOs statement that the reason they made record profits --- billions upon billions of dollars more than they'd ever made --- was because demand was up in the face of more expensive crude. They just had to charge more. Hey asshole, if the product really costs more for you to produce, how come you're making such an obscene profit?

Keep on insulting our intellegence. See what happens when the gas buying peasants revolt and toss out the legions of politicians who've been protecting your back side for the last decade. Price controls may just be around the corner. Have a nice stockholder meeting.
