what would be a more acceptable profit for you? 30¢. 10¢?
how much did you charge for your last freelance gig? how do you feel about paying $3.00 for a beer in the city when back home in my small town i can get the same beer for $1.25. which means the bar is still making a good profit, which means miller is actually making the beer for pennies on the dollar. yet i don't hear many people bitch about that.
------come drinking with me sometime, i'll bend your ear about beer prices; i just don't generally start threads on message boards every time i have something to prove to the world at large.
Also, i bet the price of beer has a lot more to do with local taxes, rent, overhead etc than profit. The difference is, this country desperately needs its gasoline; shit will still run if the beer runs out (god forbid).
So yeah, if you're moving millions of barrels a day, i'd appreciate it if you only take 10¢ or less on the gallon so you're not forcing poor people to walk to work or similar consequences.
