In a STUNNER of a Vote - GOP Votes Against Lowering Gas Prices/Price Gouging

[jc456]

I never said there were not self-defeating consequences for selling it at certain prices. I simply asserted that they can in fact sell at whatever price they want lol

exactly, and people will seek out the cheaper product. That's called free market.

Hutch - do you at least understand that price and value are subjective things? That a price that is "too high" for you might be just fine for someone else? Or are you of the opinion that a "correct" price can be objectively determined?

 

[jc456]

Obviously I do as I know it’s down from it’s high. It’s you who seems to be behind the curve.

if it's at 110 a barrel, what was the high?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

what was the price at the pumps the last time price per barrel was that high? See, we call that a benchmark.

The same as now, dope. That’s the point.

i think he thinks we should all die.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

If you have to ask then you shouldn’t be so fervently arguing while so uninformed.

 

[jc456]

The same as now, dope. That’s the point.

no it's not, the point is it takes over three months for that cheaper product to make it to the pumps. You are fking clueless. first, middle and last name.

 

[dblack]

i think he thinks we should all die.

Oh, we will. I think we can count on that.

 

[jc456]

If you have to ask then you shouldn’t be so fervently arguing while so uninformed.

I ask cause it seems you're lost. Let's see the numbers, provide the link you're referencing.

Hutch - do you at least understand that price and value are subjective things? That a price that is "too high" for you might be just fine for someone else? Or are you of the opinion that a "correct" price can be objectively determined?

Yeah, that’s not really applicable when the entire economy is dependent on their products. They can extract whatever price keeps them in record territory.

 

[jc456]

Oh, we will. I think we can count on that.

I meant like today.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

i think he thinks we should all die.

I think you should understand more.

 

[jc456]

what was the price at the pumps the last time price per barrel was that high? See, we call that a benchmark.

Hutch Starskey , just as I figured, you have no clue.

 

[jc456]

I think you should understand more.

naw, it's who you are. You have no desire to be respectable. Now it's just a puberty thing like what my grand kids do. Poopy your favorite word?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I ask cause it seems you're lost. Let's see the numbers, provide the link you're referencing.

You are the one who is lost. Go find your “benchmarks” and then tell us all how it’s really Biden’s policies rather than the market.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Hutch Starskey , just as I figured, you have no clue.

Really? Have prices at the pump dropped at all?

 

[jc456]

You are the one who is lost. Go find your “benchmarks” and then tell us all how it’s really Biden’s policies rather than the market.

so as I stated, you are clueless. Where's your link?

 

[jc456]

Really? Have prices at the pum dropped at all?

why would they, they haven't purchased cheaper product. You still don't understand how it works.

I bet you don't even understand that the tankers that bring the gasoline to the local folks has to spend more on gas to drive it around to them, which makes the price at the pump automatically higher. You're fking clueless loser. A brick has more sense than you, and I apologize to the bricks.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

why would they, they haven't purchased cheaper product. You still don't understand how it works.

Again. So we should expect a sharp price drop at the pump imminently then?

 

[dblack]

Yeah, that’s not really applicable when the entire economy is dependent on their products. They can extract whatever price keeps them in record territory.

Do you really believe that? If that's true, then what keeps gas stations from just charging $100/gallon for gas? Civic duty?

No - even when the entire economy is dependent on their products, price and value are subjective matters. They can set the price at whatever they want, but they can't force people to buy their products.
