Imagine that, people only complaining when it starts to effect their wallet. Think it out people, when you have a non-renewable resource that is essential to the processes of a nation, and this resource is controlled by the private sector...you can expect gouging eventually.

But the difference is is OUR ECONOMY REVOLVES AROUND this black monstrosity called gasoline. I'm just happy it isn't as high as it is over there. Oh yeah I forgot to mention. The day before yesterday the man who worked in one of these big gas companies (sry, forgot name and don't have article I saw it on AOL home page. If someone can find the article I would be very pleased) just got one of the fattest amounts of retirement money in the history of this country... What does that tell you?

IT is not like there will ever be a decrease in price. Even if by some fluke the price of oil goes down, gas prices will never change because that just means more profit. It will always be a record high becasue it will ALWAYS go up. Seriously, when are we NOT creeping up on “record prices?” IT is not like there will ever be a decrease in price.

They do this because every minute the equipment is down it costs them hundres of thousands perhaps millions of dollars and it is just cheaper to run the equipment to failure then to take it off line and repair it.

Did they just start monitoring this pipeline for corrosion? Funny that this comes at a time when prices are falling. Guess that since the Middle East isn't pushing prices up anymore, big oil needed something to get the prices back up there. This way they can buy their fifth Maybach!
