The oil companies had an epiphany that raising the price of diesel would make them more money and BIG Oil is still bigger than the Teamsters so Big Oil Wins!
I think the price of diesel is the bigger reason Exxon-Mobil made $36B in profits last year.
Thirty Six BILLION in profit. Let that roll around the mouth for a minute or two. 36 BILLION. Wow, boggles my puny mind.

Even better than the pizza business if you can believe it.
Pizza rolling around inside your mouth still taste better though.
I remember the introduction of pizza in my Toronto neighbourhood a couple of years back. 1.40 for a single choice 9 inch and no or very few customers. That outlet actually did not survive.
Nothing wrong with their product either in my opinion. Especially compared to those cardboard units sold at chain stores in the freezer section now. I can barely stand to eat a slice of them. Probably taste like 36 billion perhaps. Or worse.
