Means and Excuses
There is a famous saying in the Philippines:
"Kung gusto, maraming paraan. Kung ayaw, maraming dahilan."
This is loosely translated as "If willing, there are a lot of ways and justifications. If not willing, a lot of excuses."
That's what I think about the oil companies these days.
If they wanted to decrease gas prices, they have the means to do so, now that world crude prices are actually lower.
But they don't. For obvious reasons.
So they have a lot of excuses.
Foreign currency adjustments.
A storm in an oil region.
Unrest in an oil-rich country.
Even a threat of a country near one.
Puh-lease! I've heard all of these before. All these excuses to stall us, in the hope that another price spike will erase the clamor for a roll-back.
Stop the greed! You can't take your oil money with you, where you are going.
