Gasoline prices.
My comment is that after Hurrican Katrina did lots of damage, and the oil companies and the refineries increased their profit margins dramatically, using the damage from the hurricane as an excuse, we had lots of coverage in the media about the gouging, and we even had several politicians bringing attention to it. Now, with no reason for the prices to be high, we're being gouged again, and I don't see much press about it. Does anyone see anyone doing or saying anything about it, or have we just come to accept it? I read, I believe last year, that the consumer could easily take charge of the situation simply by boycotting Exxon Mobil, and if we did that, Exxon Mobil would drive the prices down, in an attempt to be competitive. I think it's time to get those emails going out to everyone, and to boycott Exxon Mobil until the prices drop 50 to 60 cents per gallon, and they going back to making only a huge profit.
