Yup, their profits are higher than ever. IF it truly was a matter of a shortage or refinement problems or what ever, then it would cost them more... so they'd charge us more... it would balance out their profits.

but NO... they raise their prices and their profits sky rocket. That tells me that it's not costing them an extra penny. They're just raising prices because they're greedy bastards and we keep buying cause we have no choice. It's extortion.
