the thing i found funny in local paper was chevron's... Posted by baggsly [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Can someone please tell me why these profits are kosher, Finch, Mon, 30 Jan 2006 08:55:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
profits of $4 billion for the quarter on the left hand page, and the article on the right hand page that exxon was appealing their $5 billion fine for the valdez mess. i knew that exxon was bigger than chevron so i had to laugh about that.
exxon's position is that they have done plenty to atone for the accident and that the fine is unfair. so, the profits from 1/8 of the year for them is not right, ooo, that must hurt lol.
i do think our (usa) prices for gasoline are still pretty good when you compare it to the rest of the world. we consume so much fuel and produce so little versus some other countries that actually produce oil, and they are paying more for gas. it is a matter of perspective because most americans aren't used to high gas prices so they think $3.00 a gallon is outrageous. mind you, everyone was in a hurry to buy suv's when they were the must thing to have and now they have to deal with it. what's that expression from somone, you reap what you sow?
ok, i guess i ranted a little, i'm done. mark :-)
