When a car manufacturer shuts down for re-tooling prices DO
NOT go up.
When a sugar plant shuts down for repairs – DO NOT go up.
When an amusement park shuts down part of it’s operations
for repairs – the cost of admission DOES NOT GO UP.
You could give hundreds and hundreds of examples like this!
BULLSHIT!

Wonder if corporate representatives colluded on this at the last meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council in Oklahoma City three weeks ago. Not only does ALEC bring legislators and corporations together behind closed doors - but they also bring corporate representatives together behind lcosed doors - to make deals with each other.

Business & Finance, National & World NewsBy Christian A. Published: May 15 2013At least three oil companies have confirmed that they were recently inspected by European antitrust authorities.The offices of Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, and British Petroleum were raided on Tuesday by European officials suspicious that the companies have engaged in a price-fixing scheme to ratchet up their own profits at the expense of customers. The European Commission announced its investigation into price-manipulation yesterday, but did not specify which companies it was examining, leaving for the possibility of more oil corporations which have not yet come forward being involved.
THAT is what it is all about.
