I wonder how much truth is in the 2-Steps Forward, 1-Step Back algorithm the oil companies use is setting price and mass population conditioning? From what I was told (3-hand) was that the public is trained to not revolt by the slow steady increase in prices by for example an 18 cent increase one week followed by a 2 week roll back of 8 cents. This seems to work as the media really builds up how much better it is that fuel is now cheaper, while no one including the public seems to be aware of the 10 cents that stuck.
This same approach is being followed with all item prices (greatly in food), and with blame put on demand for and shortages in corn to feed animals with it all going into out gas tank. The media got hold of this and was saying that we should all expect large price increases in diary and meat by the end of the year, while the very next week all hell broke free and it was well in place. But no riots on the streets, rather the media finds a person to interview that says "Well what can I do about it, we just have to pay it and move on". Now if this is not mass population conditioning and training, what is? -----Original Message----- >From: "Taylor J.
