You read it right... Big Oil made $18B in three months and nearly $1T

Next time you fill up your car/truck/boat/whatever, you should thank
them for investing countless billions of dollars in exploration and
drilling.

It's a high stakes, very risky business and expensive oil is a lot
better than no oil at all. Think about it. After you get done
complaining about prices here, do some traveling in Europe.


Please show me where I complained about the cost of gasoline. I
didn't. They made money and didn't pay taxes on it. You seem to feel
they should continue to get a subsidy, apparently.
