"Well, the A-rabs are buying up thousands upon thousands of convenience store/gas stations"

If you think buying a convenience store/gas stations is a way to get rich quick with no work, why don't you buy one?

I believe you missed the point...The A-rabs own the supply end...They've got a good start on the retail end...They control the cost of the oil as it goes in to the refinery...They control the retail cost to the consumer...

And BTW, the foreigners that work these places in my area don't own them...They all claim the owner (in my locale) is based in Houston, Texas...
