As US Drivers Suffer High Gas Prices, Big Oil Celebrates and Plans Big Payouts for Shareholders
“These companies want Americans to believe price spikes are simply the unavoidable result of global events, but their own executives are openly telling investors that volatility, conflict, and supply disruptions are good for business.”

Robespierre was not wrong. Extreme, yes.  Wrong, no.

“The people asks only for what is necessary, it only wants justice and tranquility, the rich aspire to everything, they want to invade and dominate everything. Abuses are the work and the domain of the rich, they are the scourges of the people: the interest of the people is the general interest, that of the rich is a particular interest.”

― Maximilien Robespierre, Virtue and Terror

Didn't you mention that you've got circa $2,000,000 Minimalist? I mean, that's pretty rich in my book (no pun intended).

The moral of the story? Not all rich people are cunts, and not all poor people are good for that matter.

This relates to what I was saying in another thread: we should tax these crooks into the ground, not worship them!

Roughly...depending on what the stock market does on any given day.  And that of course is determined by a handful of rich cocksuckers who manipulate the market however they wish.

The real power brokers would regard me as "upper lower class."

And that's why they don't give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.  As the saying goes "in any crime - follow the money.'


I agree they are not all cunts...but that is like saying that not all magatards are racists.  It's probably true but not enough to clean the stench off the rest of them.

I'd be happy with just taxing them at all.

F*cking FIFA.

Now I couldn't care less about football, and if people want to spend stupid amounts of money on recreational stuff be my guest.

But when did "capitalism" or making a decent profit turn into just trying to f*ck over your customers as much as possible, and they're not even hiding it any more.



Hats at $55, hoodies at $100, and people are saying that's affordable? If I walked into a store with no prices on any items, I'd walk right the f*ck back out again.

It's not just FIFA, but they are just the biggest poster boy for screwing everyone you can as much as you can. Grocery stores with "dynamic pricing" because the internet knows what you like and can jack up the price instantly. It's disgusting.

Very high end clothing stores also don’t price their items. If you can’t afford it, you don’t belong in the store. It keeps the looky loos and riff raff out.

Reminds me of an alleged Rolls Royce motto: If you have to ask for the price, you cant afford it.
