Cartel, look it up. Used to be construed as an embargo. Which in turn was an act of war. OPEC, however allowed the local oil industries to match prices with the crooks.

Supply and demand only works on non necessities. Greed however always works.

I don't detect any sarcasm in your post, which means that something is wrong with you.

I'm not a doctor, and I'm not going to hazard a guess based on one DUMBASS post like you just made.

Thanks for the compliment. I doubt that you remember, but toll roads used to be deemed a restraint of trade, and guess what, they really were.

Alfalfa Bill Murry Governor of Oklahoma, dang near went to war with the Feds over one.

Oklahoma was only a small state with only a small National Guard. What if several countries in a sense put up toll gates on the open seas? How does that affect supply and demand?

Any clue why the Marine Hymn includes "To the Shores of Tripoli?"
