You read it right... Big Oil made $18B in three months and nearly $1T
in 10 years

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.


We should all feel sorry for the oil companies, according to Wayne, and
we should bend over even further as they relieve our wallets of cash.


You (and D'Plume) have your personal, political and social agendas
confused with the facts. My advice to you is keep your cash and do
without the oil. It's a win-win situation - more cash for you, more
oil for everyone else.


Really, so when the right-leaning Supreme Court rules that big
companies like ATT can essentially cheat people in mass numbers out of
small amounts and have a sentence in 4pt type buried in the agreement
about arbitration being the only avenue for reimbursement, that's ok
with you.

Wayne you are delusional if you think that big oil isn't licking their
collective chops at the prospect of subsidies, tax breaks, and an $18B
profit (and that's IN THREE MONTHS).
