MSNBC: Internal Mega Oil Documents Show Price Fixing

A hacker who is unnamed at this point has posted internal documents that show top executives conspiring to price fix gasoline prices. Comments include "Hide the decline" apparently referencing the recent drop in crude prices. Other documents elude to conspiring with other oil companies to eliminate the competition from smaller oil comapnies so they can continue with their price fixing scheme.

Other internal documents indicate there may be severe flaws in the way crude prices are calculated and in some cases it looks like they themselves don't even know what the hell it's doing as long as its going up.

Mega oil has confirmed the authenticity of these documents but have offered an explanation that it was just CEO talk. No explanation has yet been offered about the programs used to calculate the prices however.
I'm sure you hard left liberals are outraged at this revelation. I would be.

How absurd to immediately make it political.
Typical, but absurd.

It always amazes me how the price of gas is always the same at every station in town...

I certainly hope the above posts were made in jest.
