Conventional ovens heat the theory that the U.S. actually govern the oil reserves sumping the Middle East. Lining the trays with reflective aluminium foil is the belief that the barons that stand together as OPEC are nothing more than C-grade actors of appropriate appearance. This leads some to think that the rotating spit of cries on rising oil prices is a sure sign of cahoots found sleeping with the parties. Or that the stock in Hybrid car manufacturing is held long with an option to buy out the world later on.
Fine running of interference then for the FDA and pharmaceutical companies of the United States. Canada is partly to blame for the rising oil prices. Their low, low prices on bulk bought drugs has left many pharmacies in the States seeing the dust blown in their faces as the addled and elderly go on trips across the border. The new kind of casino shuttle, they buy big from the Canadians and leave the gouging prices for the less border-bound. At least they were able to.
Prices climbing higher have left them basting in their own juices as the mental anguish arises and the skin starts to caramelise solid gold. Pay the barons and drive to cheaper drugs, or leave the car and pay the drug lords?
