Price Gouging

Lets discuss price gouging !

It seems that when ever there is a natural disaster , people tend to try and price gouge for items that are everyday use needs . Milk , water , bread etc: It is obvious when it happens , and in the last few years it has become a subject that the law has looked at and made illegal in the USA.

Not only is it illegal , but its immoral to treat people with such disdain and lack of care and consideration. When the people around us are hurting , why would ANYONE wish to profit from that misery is beyond me . I guess the worlds " lack of love" is a sure sign that peoples "spiritual training" in many cases is just a label .

But I wont dwell on that , the main reason I mention this today is because we see price gouging taking place right now and the government is just as much to blame as the company executives are.

Of what am I referring ? FUEL PRICES !!

The American people , well quite frankly the whole world is being " Price Gouged " with the high fuel prices . There is actually very little direct connection to the cost of a barrel of oil and the cost of a gallon of diesel or gas. Which brings me to another question , Diesel is the cheapest to make and the most expensive to buy , WHY !! PRICE GOUGING !!

If you or I were to double our prices on items of daily need we could be prosecuted , and yet the government allows it to be done daily to us and they stand ZERO responsibility in court !

The Major reason for the high diesel and gas prices is driven , NOT by the wars , NOT by the lack of fuel , NOT by the cost of a barrel of oil !

It is driven by greed ! HOW ? Quite simple actually , People are dumping money into oil stocks right now because they want to get rich off the plight of others . ( see earlier comment )
Have you put money in the stock market for oil? If yes you are PART OF THE PROBLEM !

Want prices to drop , sell your stock , make the oil companies stocks of less value and watch the prices come down . The problem is , it wont work , do you know why ?

Because we live in a dog eat dog , look out for number one , I'm a selfish jerk who deserves to be rich no matter how it affects my neighbor , world !

There is a disaster taking place RIGHT NOW ! And the world is at the hands of Price gouging , not only by the companies but by the governments they live under .

Sad to say , we are a people who talk about whats needed and complain about what is happening , but when the chips are down , most will look out for "me and mine " and that's a sad commentary for the world .

Yes we see price gouging , and no , in reality NOTHING will be done about it !

Sad isnt it !
