Perhaps it is a sign of Inflation. The Fed has been printing and giving out free money for quite some time now. I will be watching this, along with the price of food.

You're so funny! I love the fact that you try and do psyops on people but it's like playground level abilities. You're cute :)
 Quoting: American Trappers, LLC


Do you know what the profit margin is on a gallon of milk?

Do you know what the profit margin is on a gallon of water?

Compare that to the profit margin of a gallon of gas.

I predict you will not answer my questions honestly because the truth conflicts with your world view.

And i'm not just cute, i'm damned cute.
 Quoting: Conspiracy Theorist


Profit margin for whom? Farmer makes about $1.00/gallon according to the people I know who run dairies and according to most market research. Now...different farmers have different qualities of milk and some may receive a little more or a little less.

Since the average gallon of milk here is about $2.75 / gallon that leaves $1.75 per gallon. So...split that between the producer who pasteurizes/homogonizes and adds or removes products to the milk, the delivery company if separate, the wholesale marketer who buys large milk purchases and then sells to smaller stores, and to the actual stores who carry the milk for you to buy. That's not a lot of profit. I know from experience, a good milk producing cow costs about $3,500.00 a year to maintain. That doesn't include the costs it takes to run a dairy, pass inspections, pay for water, pay for cleaning, pay for milking machines, etc.

In reality...nobody's making a lot of money here. Thanks for letting me prove that. Oh...and btw, if you're dumb enough to pay $4.00 or more per gallon because of the specific retail chain you buy from...that's your own fault.
 Quoting: American Trappers, LLC


I knew you wouldn't answer honestly so I will.

Profit margin on a gallon of milk is around 39%

Profit margin on a gallon of water can be anywhere from 50% up to 200% depending on the brand you buy.

Profit margin on a gallon of regular gasoline is around 7%

I buy gas from Kroger and with current prices and my discount its $2.85/gallon.
 Quoting: Conspiracy Theorist


You say I didn't answer you, but I did. Are you mentally incompetent? Or...just driving home the psyops shill?

39%...to whom? How many ways does that get split? See...that's the problem with your math, you don't state who makes what. I put it into a very real perspective...in reality, a MUCH BETTER detail than you did. Who gets the profit beevis? 7% on gas? Are you an idiot? Who are you saying gets that profit?


You're very good at acting like like you're hot snot on a silver platter but in reality you're just a cold buggar on a paper plate.

Funny that you think that it won't ripple beyond our state lines. Do you not recall what happened when gas went way up not but a few years ago? Alot of truckers went out of business. So that could happen OR... you will pay alot more for your stuff since California has one of the busiest ports in US.

Diesel SHOULD be cheaper. It is less refined than Gasoline.

You can take crude oil... heat it and Diesel will "come out" of the sludge all on it's own. Watch the truckers who keep this nation in motion stop dead in their tracks.

I know supply and demand... but no deliveries will make fuel even more expensive.

No word yet... from any media... but $6.00/ Gallon for Diesel means truckers will have to pay extra money for the privilege of delivering fuel and good. As in they will actually pay out of pocket for each mile versus make money for each mile.

Also, understand that loads often have pre-negotiated pricing. Added fuel costs aren't figured in that price.

Diesel jumped .10 cents here overnight. No real reason given just because they can. Didn't oil go down to $90 a barrel? Something has got to give. Everything has gone up but my pay. I haven't had an increase in 3 years. I couldn't imagine being in Cali. This whole gas crisis out there makes me feel for those Mom & Pop shops who are going to be losing their businesses and savings. The little guy is being squeezed out. Corporate America is taking control.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1275523


WRONG!!

In days of OLD you were correct ... but today with the new Clear Air requirements for Diesel it is MORE expensive to refine than gasoline once one starts including in the cost of Diesel the HUGE capital costs that had to be spent to literally REBUILD every refinery in the US to make the Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel.

Since the new Clean Air standards went into affect about 5 years ago Diesel virtually ALWAYS costs more than gasoline.

In my business we use Diesel quite a bit and in days of old, before the new air quality standards went into effect and refiners had to be rebuilt, the standard was that it generally cost 15% less than gasoline, sometimes as much as 25% ... AND had 15% more energy in it than an equivalent gallon of gasoline.

Today Diesel generally runs 15% MORE than gasoline which is almost an exact offset to the additional energy packed into a gallon of diesel over gasoline (and sometimes can run 20% more if gasoline is in a declining market, or if there are regional refinery problems)

I remember when I could fill up my Volkswagon beetle for $3.50. And I would drive off of that all week. But of course, this was in 1973!! And when the so called oil shortage happen then; I knew that it was all a farce. I knew that we had plenty of oil in the ground. And then, it took about $10 to fill my tank up. And then I got another car; and it took more than that. And I had people telling me that lived in Houston, Texas that their tanker ships were almost sinking in their bay, because it so overloaded with oil. Those ships were so stuffed, that they almost sank. But this is what you get when you are controlled and ruled by Satans International bankers/Illuminuti/Oil Barons. They lie and deceive and kill and murder; as their wars have cost 100's of millions of lives during the 20th century!!

I could probably hit oil right outside in my backyard. Like water, crude oil is extremely plentiful and everywhere. It is not a fossil fuel. It is made from the pressure of rocks and minerals in the earth and it is extremely abundant. But the oil barons want us to believe that it is scarce. And this is a great big lie and deception; to keep its prices, sky high!!

But dont' worry!! The Great and the Almighty God of Heaven will have them all spitting out fire and brimstone, as they will be hollering and screaming their heads off in the worst ways imaginable!! And God created the human soul and spirit to never die or be destroyed. But it will live either in heaven or in hell, forever and ever and ever!!
