Clubfoothead Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Has Exxon been accused of price gouging, or is this just more lefty whinning? 1101394[/snapback] I can see the Exxon station at Central and Walnut Hill from my office. They were at 3.01 a gallon right after Katrina and are at 2.62 a gallon right now. I suppose none of that 39 cents a gallon made it into their $10,000,000,000.00 profits and I'm sure Exxon did not benefit in the least from the 2,000 dead Americans and $200,000,000,000.00 tax payer dollars that has subsidized Project Iraq. I'm naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Good for them, and good for me and anyone else who owns their stock. 1101384[/snapback] I own some of their stock. It's value isn't going up as fast as their prices. It's gone up about 50% since I acquired it ~3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 turbulence in the market always does this. prices react to the worst-case scenario and the consumer ultimately ends up paying for insurance against that scenario. pretty silly to call it price gouging, but whatever.

Profiteering; however, is probably more accurate since it would cover both the illogical increase in gas prices since the war in Iraq and Katrina. Profiteering is the act of making a profit by methods considered unethical. Business owners may be accused of profiteering when they raise prices during an emergency (especially a war). The term is also applied to businesses that play on political corruption to obtain government contracts. 1101572[/snapback] A distinction without a difference, but whatever.

Clubfoothead Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 My house just got appraised last week. $223,000.00. Maybe if Katrina destroys it Exxon can sell the rubble for me for like $5,000,000.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Linguist Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I wonder how much Exxon donated to the relief funds? They've stole it from us, they should pay it back to the people who need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
