invisible hand or carny grifters?

i received a raise in reumuneration recently as my employer rushes to meet the current level of pay so as to "hold on" to it "valued employees"...wonderful...coincidentally at around the same time...
the cost of a gallon of gasoline has reached its highest level since the summer of 2008 when oil was at $ 147 a barrel ( which the oil companies fingered as the price culprit )...well...a barrel of opec "basket" pil isn't anywhere near that at the moment and some anylists connected to the "oil price" web site maintain oil is "over valued" by $50 a barrel...hmmm...that same site also says ...
one presumes that would take an act of congress...don't hold your breath here...mcconnell, shumer, ocassio-cortez, taylor-greene, "don't boo" donny...all wholly owned ( fiscally or philosophically ) subsidoaries of someone or other and oil companies ( obviously ) have a lot of cash to spread around..."oil price" also says there is no sign of short-term relief in gasoline prices...another non-shocker...so the "pain at the pump" will continue until the hegemons get their fair share of my new-found prosperity...they don't give away anything and they always take back as much as they possibly can...capitalist...carny grifter...whichever or both ( more likely )...the "invisible hand" slaps us again...
