Would you call these guys profiteers? Or job creators?
http://news.yahoo.com/44-oil-executives-truck-drivers-204920300.html
TLDR, a handful of heating oil companies have been ripping off consumers through a scheme in which the delivery truck driver has a "gauge" rigged to report more oil than the customer actually received.
44 of these profiteers (cough cough job creators) were just busted.

Neither. Simple thieves, nothing more.

Not profiteering unless there's a disaster or monopoly where alternatives are limited or nonexistent.
-
They can't be both?

Could also be racketeering, in fact the NYTimes article that is linked inside the article I linked said the investigation was done by the Racket Bureau: "The investigation, which was handled by the Rackets Bureau in the district attorney’s office, began in February 2013 with a tip from a confidential informer in the oil industry" -
I think it's just fraud.

Where's the resident clubhouse lawyer to weigh in.

Sure. I think Haliburton would be another example of that.Fenderbender123 said:They can't be both?

If I pay you $4 for a gallon of oil and you deliver 1/2 gallon, you're stealing.
If you want to charge $6 and deliver what I paid for, I have no issues, whatsoever. -
You are the grist that the capitalist machine runs on. The wind beneath its sails. Keep punching that timecard baby.sarktastic said:If I pay you $4 for a gallon of oil and you deliver 1/2 gallon, you're stealing.

Haven't punched a timecard in over 35 years. Nice try.
You people in the free shit party know what you want... and know what you're entitled to... you just don't want to pay for it. -

Stick with pretending to Photoshop pictures, that seems to be your wheelhouse. -
I don't need to post a link. Everyone but you is well aware that Halliburton got no bids from Obama. Same reason they got them from Bush. They do the jobs no one else does in war zones.
Keep on being FS. Your definite wheelhouse -
Then post one link from one credible source (no newsmax, daily caller, etc). I'd even take mainstream fox news (not their blog site). If it's that easy, should take you like 15 seconds. Or the length of time you take to fuck your goat.RaceBannon said:I don't need to post a link. Everyone but you is well aware that Halliburton got no bids from Obama.

Why can't you look?

Why can't you actually post a credible link?RaceBannon said:Why can't you look?

I did. this is what I didn't bother. the facts stare you in the face and you deny it.
Seriously, D2D is a better poster and it isn't close. -

Here's the thing Race. I didn't say he didn't do it. I googled it, I know exactly what it says. I just wanted to see if you actually could post one credible link.RaceBannon said:I did. this is what I didn't bother. the facts stare you in the face and you deny it.

You clearly failed. -
Why isn't your hysteria directed at Obama for engaging in the very actions you claim, upsets you?

Just shut up.2001400ex said:
