The point isn't any individual's lack of money or the resources to get
more of it, the point is the gross profits of oil companies.



Complaining solves nothing. Knowing where what and how solves nothing.
You're preaching to the wrong person.

You, my friend, are an idiot. You are blinded by your own personal
circumstance that you do not see the bigger picture. Sad. Really sad.

I am not complaining, I'm pointing out the bigger picture. As Yoda would
say, "blind you are."



Pointing out the bigger picture to whom? Me? I can buy you and sell you.



There you go again, dialing in on your own circumstance.

Keep in mind, it was not me that presented the idea that there are people
that will have trouble with rising gasoline prices. I am merely trying to
show you how such a thing is a valid point.

Let me point out that WalMart, the largest retailer in the world, had a
down year last year that they attribute to fuel prices affecting their
customer base. WalMart customers are affected by fuel prices to a greater
degree than Macy's customers. Macy sells stuff to people that are not
bothered by the price of gas, WalMart's customers -- arguably considerably
more customers than Macy will ever dream of having -- are affected by fuel
prices. (To be sure, I understand that WalMart has lost a bit of its way
by trying to upscale its product mix, and people that are upscale don't do
WalMart, and people that do WalMart do not do upscale. This surely is at
least a part of why sales were off last year.)

So, in context of the bigger picture, having oil companies reporting the
highest profits ever, that's E-V-E-R, in the wake of WalMart reporting
that sales are down should be a pretty strong message to a smart guy like
yourself.


Why do you insist I'm blind to the less unfortunate? I offer suggestions. I
do not call people names. I kid with Hachi only because he blurts out *I'm
white*. I kid with dbu because he and his cohort in Florida politicize
everything.
I began by asking Charles if he used so much fuel that the rise in fuel
costs really did hurt. And before I got an answer from him you jump in. I
finally get an answer from Charles and I say I'm sorry he's scraping bottom.
You, on the other hand, keep throwing *** around like you want to pick a
fight. You call me an idiot and I reply I can buy you and sell you.
Now, for the record, I'm tired of economics 101 from you. Thank you and it's
not necessary.
