A Few Thoughts From the Day

Exxon reported their quaterly profits for this past quarter. They made 10 BILLION dollars. That's just profit. That doesn't include all the "operational costs" which they said was one of the reasons that they had to raise prices at the pump. Obviously, that was all nothing but BS. All that extra money we were spending on gallons of gas wasn't going to operational cost. It was going to the big wig's pockets. I hope it made 1 or 2 people really happy. It made a couple rich as hell people richer and made millions of poor people poorer. That's free enterprise for ya. What you do is you make something, make it so that everyone in the world relies on it, then you can charge whatever you want for it and everyone is going to buy it. Sure, there will be a few people that aren't going to buy as much of it anymore, but raising the prices by a dollar per gallon at the pump will make up that differment and then some. Genius, right? Whatever...
