re: My issue was not that they where suffering, but rather that they don't receive more money from the government then the government receives from them. It was a point of fact, not a plea for sympathy for "those poor oil companies". It was a pretty dull "point of fact". Why did you make it? re: None of which is proof that there is no colluding going on, but nothing you've posted provides much of an argument for the idea that there is any significant amount of collusion. You are right, there probably isn't collusion. Doesn't have to be. Why spend $Billions when it will only lower your profit. But... don't you see something wrong with this picture? What about competition always keeping prices down and benefiting the consumer? What about capitalism as the great equalizer? Sometimes it just doesn't work, does it?
