There are some who remember the 70's and the gas lines and doubling of fuel costs, all
because OPEC decided to cut production and let supply and demand dictate cost, or value,
whatever. And of course some remember prices escalating before the next stroke of the pump
after this announcement. It was well known, in some quarters anyway, that the 'old' oil
was marked up well before the 'new' oil reached its market, fattening the 'Entrepreneur's
bank balances to proportions that should embarrass most intelligent people. That step,
unrestrained, unchallenged and now, almost forgotten, has opened the door to a new level
of rude profit taking.
The inflationary ramifications of this new 'Energy' policy amongst the fattest cats is
yet to be felt, nor fathomed, for that matter. Industry, the most visible object of this
tyrannical move, will shudder down to the consumer, all of this 'New' overhead leaving the
classes fighting for their lives, to survive. Horrendous medical maintenance costs
resulting in prohibitive HMO's for the common folk, energy cost escalation, (which is
obviously manipulated by students of OPEC's Greed College.) and policies of a few well
meaning but misplaced intellectuals who decry environmental obliteration yet allow no
alternative that is fathomable, are crushing families with preposterous expectations. This
is just tip of the proverbial iceberg. Think, for a moment, of utility costs tripling,
hard goods being built overseas because of the lack of production capabilities.
Quality compromised to compete with foreign goods made with energy produced by
unchallenged Nuclear power plant countries and the job market crowded to compete for
positions that are influenced by the same jackel who, with their greed, started this whole
mess right after graduating from 'Shaft U's college of Oil Producing Countries. Want a
good stock tip? Sell your Microsoft and buy all the Woodstove and Chainsaw stock you can
find, they may be the only ones around after this debacle is over.
