    Yeah? 40% of the people voted for Obama. That means half this country is stupid. The transparency is easy. But the blinders have to come off.

    Well thankfully the entire population doesn't need to be smart for our free (ish) markets to function properly. And every oil company wants to steal even a little bit of market share so there is no gain in delaying a price cut.

    They don't need to be smart. That would be asking too much. They just don't have to be dumber than red bricks.
