1/2 of me says “Well that’s fucking life, supply and demand fool”

the other 1/2 says “That’s horribly unethical business practice”

I mean there is NO reason when oil jumps the next day gas prices jump, since the oil price is for the next months delivery.

Lots of companies have higher margins…profit margin doesn’t mean shit, quantity does. I mean if I have a product and I’m “only” making 4% profit on it…let’s say it costs $1…doesn’t mean shit when I’m assured 100 million units/yr in sales because if you don’t buy it, you’re not doing shit.
