Well, now I know of at least two. The Supreme Court just ruled on a case that started back in 1998.  The case is known as  .  It is a case of pay discrimination based on gender.  Ms. Ledbetter worked for Goodyear's Gadsden, Alabama facility  from 1979 through 1998.  As the years went on she fell further and further behind her male peers in salary.  She first contacted federal EEOC in March, 1998 and filed a formal charge in June, 1998..........   Read More »

Over the last few weeks I have heard many "reasons" why the price of gas is setting records.  The reasons come from "the man on the street", Oil Industry "Spokespersons", politicans and economists.  They include:

  • Oil Shortages
  • Refinery "pinch points"
  • Shortages of Refineries
  • Aging Pipelines
  • Fluctuating Demand
  • Change in Quality of Crude
  • Increased Demand in China and India
  • High Gas Taxes
  • The Iraq War
  • Unrest in Venezuela
  • Political Instability in Nigeria
  • Hurricane Katrina
  • Environmental Regulations

..... and many others ad nauseum.

No matter which of those conditions exist, it still can be clarified in one phrase: 

"RECORD HIGH GAS PRICES - RECORD HIGH OIL COMPANY PROFITS"

Can anyone else detect a remote correlation here?
