You're getting sued. Bummer, dude.
But you just dont know when it'll happen....
Well, I have a plus 1 for the Republican party (for now). The head negotiator, Rep. Senator Pat Domenici motioned to push forward with litigation and establish a new forum against the OPEC "cartel". Pat, along with other senate members called OPEC's recent increase with the cost of oil "nothing more than an illegal price fixing scheme". Granted, OPEC consists of 11 sovereign nations (Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Venezuela), not exactly a private company. Negotiations on this matter, with these countries, will need too go smoothly and peacefully. Not disrupting normal trade or creating an embargo with these countries and their other exports. They dont have much else in trade, except Venezuela.
The full story is HERE
Funny, wasnt I mentioning and complaining about this shit yesterday? Ha. I hope the board reaches a settlement on the cost of oil SOON. I'm fairly jaded with the price / cost of gas. Hopefully, the prices will cap-off where they're at now with all hopes and intentions on decreasing. How can we afford or live with this dependency as a constant, price being the only variable? What's the need for the fluctuation in price? Seriously. What gives? Why raise the price, steadily, because of an 'invasion' of another country? You know, I thought once USA jacked Iraq, the cost of oil / gas / petroleum would decrease. The costs were lower when "daddy bush" invaded the country not too long ago. Now...
Could the price changes have another meaning? What if this product was your only export or one of few exports? What if the funding has other purposes? Is OPEC taking advantage of various "invasions"? What about the demand for oil as a world; alternative resources! We need to ease our dependency on this and other natural resources, but, will it happen and why would it NOT happen?
Money. Always, money. Personal banter: I've grown used to calling it "slave owner trading cards".
Cost / Profit vs Independence and change
Think progressively, think globally, think locally!
