I know collusion with price fixing is illegal.. I just mean there is no way to prove such a thing. If it were done there would be nothing on paper or on tape so it would go like this. Another attorney to Fabs. "Hey bud..lets fix the price of a no fault divorce at 500 bucks" Fabs says ok..ad nauseum to all the other attorneys ergo..the price is 500 bucks and nothing on paper to prove it. Is there anything to say they did it? Of course not. Oh one guy might get pissed off and say it happened..but there is nothing but heresay to "prove" it. And you and I both know that heresay ain't admissible.
Now as far as BIG OIL you and I both know what happened to Standard Oil many years ago. Now there are companies buying other companies and the government doesn't stop it. The oil companies are making beaucoup amounts of francs bucks Euros pesos etc. Record amounts. If they are making record amounts it isn't because of our fuel appetites alone. They are making much larger percentages of profits and now that the independant stations are mostly gone they can pretty much set their own prices. Not saying that the people themselves can't do something to make prices drop(just quit buying) but you know it ain't gonna happen in the ME generation. People are too into what they can get..have ...keep... before the other guy rather than the qualitiy of their lives. And it seems at the same time I keep seeing people that are perpetually unhappy ...and blaming how they feel on someone else.
Always saying..it ain't MY fault....Yeah, sure...it ain't their fault!
