Let me teach you some math here.

Exxon's market capital 424 billion dollars. 12 billion dollars is only 2.83% profit for the quarter, or just over 10% for the year.

Apple with a market capital of 141 billion dollars has a profit margin of about 15%. So...

Does that mean Apple is more evil than Exxon, or no because they don't deal in natural resources?

i love capitalism. exxon should be allowed to do whatever the fuck it wants and charge whatever the hell it wants. they're a company just trying to make money. what would you do if you had a company and couldn't do what you want with it to make money?

It's a fucked up world we live in.  Oil companies take advantage of their customers because they know they have no other choice, fuck that.  Oil companies forced GM to not only stop production of it's electric cars in the 90's, but eve went as far as find the people that owned one already and forced a recall on them.  Then they were all destroyed in the desert.  Fuck that.

Fuck oil tycoons and fuck people who think they should get away with the shit they pull for profit instead of the betterment of the people.  Scum of the earth!

good post. would you people expect them to make any less money?

lets take a look at Exxon Mobil. they are the worlds largest publicly traded company. they own and operate 10 different businesses in over 41 countries on 6 continents.

they run 12 refineries in 7 countries and employ thousands and thousands of people, good paying jobs too.

we live in a world that lives of oil and gas. here is a company that sells oil and gas to the world. what did you expect to happen NS?

oh, and the 2.83% profit for 1 quarter was pretty good info.
