Replying to: fintail (Jan 31, 2007 2:25 pm) How come Housing prices are always so high in the Seattle area? Is that due to the "market forces" and "local conditions" or are those high prices due to some kinda conspiracy as well (Big Lumber)? I wonder what sort of profit margin is considered 'acceptable' for home sellers in your neck of the woods?

for Big Lumber. They are in cahoots with OWEC. (Organization of Wood Exporting Countries). I blame the Canadians....

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Jan 30, 2007 1:34 pm) Filled up this morning at the usual place, Meijers, for $1.99. The Sonic was $1.99 as well, with Speedway  $2.01. Other stations were running $2.10 ~ $2.25 for regular. Really wierd spread since most of the stations are near each other. Gas City has E85 for $1.89, regular for $2.19, diesel $2.79 |

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 30, 2007 4:02 am) How did you come up with $2/gallon being a fair price? If by some miracle the price of oil went down to $15/barrel the market price for gasoline would probably be around $1/gallon. Your comment tells me that you'd have no problem with the parties involved still selling gas for $2/gallon. Interesting. The record profits achieved last year would be obliterated by this new scheme of yours. On the other hand lets say the price of oil went up to $70/barrel. The market price for gasoline would then be $3/gallon. The oil companies, refineries and gas stations would simply shutdown rather than take this kind of loss. So now the government would step in and nationalize these industries. News flash, we import 60% of our oil. Are we going to force Canada and Mexico to sell to us at prices well below market value? The only other option is to use tax dollars to make up the difference. That can't possibly make sense unless you believe the government's tax policies should encourage fuel consumption and that the wealthy should subsidize fuel cost's for the poor. If you believe the wealthy should subsidize the poor in this regard then why stop with fuel? Why not subsidize their auto insurance, maintenance and purchase costs also?

Replying to: fezo (Jan 31, 2007 3:13 pm) Hmmmmm. Considering that Canada is also our largest source of imported oil, I'm beginning to smell a rat.....wonder what the odds are we can convince our current 'atrocious regime' to invade?
