yeah, pretty high profit margin/motive there I’d say. That was the first thing I thought of as I typed it. almost $40.00 difference.
Sure looks like price gouging to me. Of course that can’t really be happening in the Big O’s hometown now can it?

'the Big O’s hometown' of Chi now has the highest taxes in the nation (yes, even higher than NYC). This is from the combination of Chicago taxes and mostly, Crook County taxes.
The Crook County Board (controlled by Chi Dems) looks at the Chi suburbs in its clutches as Cash Cows. Where they can rape those citizens for pet projects in Chicago. A few of the suburbs have even talked of seceding from Crook County.
And yep, the profit that could be made from Cigs is 'HUGH'. The Mob (or a 'mob') wouldn't even have to hijack any trucks. First buy them legally and then re-sell them in Chi 'out of a car trunk', or under the counter from a Bar they control.
We fled Chi and Cook County for DuPage County in '75 when we got married. But friggen Daley keeps trying to get his sticky fingers into other counties, and citizens bank accounts, through his puppets in Springfield.
