"Profit Streak".
Yeah, I guess that's one word for #PriceGouging
"Corporate profits have reached a record share of the U.S. economy" ...doesn't happen by accident. #Greedflation

Corporate America Aims to Preserve Profit Streak During Iran War https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/business/economy/companies-profits-prices-iran-war.html
Another interesting note from today.
Heard the rental car employee talking and they only had seven total reservations today.
I am paying double for this rental compared to 2019.
And as much as I hate it, it's kinda good to hear people are generally not biting on these stupid prices. If I had a better option I'd have taken it.
I sincerely hope that those who needed them, got them.
#HDD shelves are looking mighty bare at the affordable end of the aisle for brand new drives. With the latest increases in price on remaing stock, we've reached #PriceGouging territory at a rapid clip.
Why Americans Shouldn’t Sacrifice While Oil Companies Profit From the Iran War
Politicians urge sacrifice, but oil companies profit from Iran war price hikes. Here’s why gas prices are a choice, not a necessity.

Here’s What Rising Gas Prices Means For You at the Pump
Government halves fuel excise for three months as $2.55 billion handout to fuel companies feeling the pinch
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-30/fuel-excise-halved-three-months-petrol-diesel/106510432
There, I fixed the headline for you. It used to say "Government halves fuel excise for three months to ease cost of petrol, diesel."
Pardon my cynicism, but I think servos and companies producing petrol and diesel won't pass along the full savings to customers. They'll price-gouge like they've always price-gouged. We will not see the cost of fuel fall by 26.3 cents a litre, and taxpayers will foot the bill for $2.55 billion. This is a gift from the government to fuel companies that are affected by people cutting their use of petrol and diesel.
If the Trump/Israel invasion of Iran continues more than three months, the government will repeat their misguided $2.25 Billion gesture.
Later, when the government eases-off this fuel excise cut, the fuel companies will use it as a pretext to jump up the price even further.
Well most of us gonna survive on cans of food.
2025 net income was about $11 billion, up from $8.7 billion in 2024.

I filled up for $2.84 the day this stupid war started, knowing the prices were going up. I was half empty today when I filled up again for $3.59, because I'm not waiting to fill up my WHOLE tank when it climbs up to $4.34 (or more).
