Affording Fuel

Perhaps you should consider a more fuel-efficient boat? I certainly wouldn't purchase another boat without considering all options, including defecting to rag boating. Now I come to find that Exxon, Chevron and Halliburton have made more money this past year than at any time in history and our rate of savings hasn't been this low since 1933. You mean yours, or everybody elses (average)? Everyone's. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060130/..._ec_fi/economy I'm feeling stung. The taxation is going to happen one way or another. I feel government is in a better position to redistribute my taxation more than I trust Exxon or Chevron or Halliburton but I guess they already have. Think about it folks. Very few companies are having banner years, apart from these companies. Is it some sort of coincidence that these same companies are friends of the current administration? Yes, it's an amazing coincidence, isn't it? Another funny thing is that so far, this boon has not been distributed very effectively to holders of common stock. They don't matter. It's the boys in the front office who are meant to benefit from this. Meanwhile, Exxon wants the $5B settlement reduced for the Alaska spill. Pigs. This whole thing stinks from the head down. You really really miss the old days of political mud-throwing in this NG, don't you? Old days? It was just yesterday for me. AFAIC the group has been dumbed down, a perfect reflection of our society. I'm guessing the savings rate on brain cells and good ideas is, like savings, at a historical low. Fear factor, Baywatch and cigarettes are our major exports now. DSK jps |
