Default Why is Oil a rare commodity in 2005...

or rather is should ask how did oil get so much more expensive in 2005 since 2003. when i first came to thailand a roundtrip ticket from florida was $800 bucks, it is now about double that.

seems like a giant scam to me...

Build a raft or swim next time. You don't have a right to have someone else build intercontinental airliners and operate them at a price YOU deem fair.

this argument sucks so bad it isnt funny.

what if the prices of every food in a grocery store doubled. And if people dont like it they can grow their own food. And if the people live in a city, well then they should move to the country, right?

But it was a giant scam before, so that aspect doesn't shed much light. Perhaps it's just the simple fact that commodities in high demand go up in price when supply can't keep up. The fact that there is a scamming system in between doesn't change the ratio significantly.

Welcome to the world of supply and demand, capitalism, and money. You've got a lot to learn.

Have you ever read anything on the subject of economics?

Do you think you have a natural right to fly to Thailand or whatever it was?
