Do you agree with the laws of supply and demand?

I think that businesses use the laws of supply and demand just to raise the prices. When people use less fuel they cut production so they can raise the price. If you were born before 1970 you will remember the false oil shortage they created to raise the price and had people waiting in line for gas even overnight as the pumps were only open during daytime hours.Now they use these shortages of  everything to raise the prices leaving those without much money without.

    I don't agree about America's overworked obsession. They tell us to keep working even though he have more than enough and then complain we throw away too much food and abuse too many animals in animal farms. Then even if we finish the job, we have to "pretend" to look busy so we don't get fired. It's almost like leisure and vacation is a sin while other countries have 5 week paid vacations but in America there is NO mandatory vacation. All this just so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer...
