BS... for instance, Intel was able to price its chips so high for so long because its marketing was so good. If a company can pull the wool over the eyes of its customers effectively enough, it can charge what it wants.

You're actually comparing Intel with the global oil market?

LOL. You are far more clueless than I've given you credit for.


Don't be a butthead. You know damn well the point Z is making. Pricing of INTC chips was as predatory and false as the current pricing of oil is. In fact, INTC dealt for years with the feds over accusations of price setting/gouging. While the two situations are not identical, the results are the same.........the consumer pays a premium for the product........another weakness of the capitalist system.
