computers are a luxury item, everyone needs gas. That said, Price gouging isn't the cause of the high prices.Originally posted by DinoDoc
Why? A lot of companies have a better profit margin. Are Americans really such pussies that we ***** and moan about low gas prices because we think that they should be lower?Comment

I'm willing to bet that if pharma companies didn't bother to reinvest into R&D they would see a lot higher profit margins than that.Average return on investment was 18% in 2004, and probably currently higher.Comment

That's not the fairest comparison. The reason pharmas make so much is precisely to invest money in R&D.Originally posted by Japher

Using liquid hydrogene routinely in AC's ???? Transporting the nessecary amount from factory to AC's ???? Planes in trouble dumps their fuel before landing - doing that with LH ???? You need to keep the **** fluid wich means coolig - goes fine in 10 km's height, but circling in low altitudes ????
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

But... like, Tax is like unfair profit!
I mean, um...
Actually, I discard the whole bit about tax revenue from gas vs. oil industry profits (apples, oranges). The interesting part of that article is the boom/bust nature of the oil/gas industry.
