And no...I don't mind a company making a profit. But when your excuse for the high cost of your product is to blame the supplier (OPEC)...yet you're posting record profits every quarter...someone isn't really telling the whole truth...IMO.

I don't really care if they make a bazillion dollars. Just be honest about it and tell me "We provide a service you need and we're going to charge you whatever we want...and there's nothing you can do about it".

Oil is a commodity. We might not like it, but it is what it is.

I love it how we like the free market when it suits us, but not when it doesn't. Can't have it both ways.
