this had nothing to do with supply and demand and had everything to do with buying low and selling high then doing what they could do to drive up the price. The whole time the regular person going to work or taking their kids to school is paying the price.
The US produces half of what it consumes. YOU consumes 21 million barrel/day. YOU produces 10 million barrel/day. The production cost of crude oil one barrel, in Taxes US, is $8 dollar. IF your oil companies reduce (or "sacrifice") its huge profits, you would not see these crisis. But of course you live in a capitalism country
The states which has oil will f***ing rich.

I remember in 1998 the oil prices were $8/barrel and now it's $140.
no wonder there is major unemployment. people cant afford to buy shit because of gas and now cigarettes are $2 more also , so stores have to stop hiring new employes and firing current employees !

What needed to be done is restrain the speculators. Make them have to actually take the oil they buy. That will slow them down.

Oil isn't rising in a vacuum; all prices are going up. And it has all to do with the Fed printing money. Youtube Peter Schiff to get the whole story.
