Well I don't. I could see it if the oil companies raised prices after Katrina and then posted normal profits. Then they'd only be compensating for the losses of Katrina. But when they post RECORD profits, that indicates that they went above and beyond mere compensation, and went into using the hurricanes as an excuse to fleece consumers.
