Our Big Oil Companies now making a fortune …on us

You know, some people are saying that big oil is responsible for the price of gas. I'm sure that might be part of the overall equation.

But while everyone is pointing to the 22 Billion that Exxon/Mobil has posted for profit no one seems to be talking about the 20 BILLION that they lost the year before. I'm just using Exxon/Mobil as an example. All of the other big oil companies posted similar profits and losses the year before.

Funny how those some people always seem to get their "news" from the same outlets, isn't it.

I just read this opinion piece
LATEST LEFTIST OUTRAGE: ENERGY COMPANIES MAKING MONEY
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archi...ist-outrage-energy-companies-making-money.php
 
Nobody gives a rat's behind what the leftists, like you, are outraged about. Destroyer posted FACTS and all you can do is attempt, clumsily, to deflect from those simple, incontrovertible FACTS by crying "fake news from right wing sources" - news, which is not only absolutely true and correct, but totally irrelevant to the topic at hand.

More reason for you to do some serious self examination.

Suggest you calm down with the angry posts:
FACTS ARE

1. Fuel prices dropped sharply associated with the covid related economic downturn.
As such, the REPUBLICAN supporting BIG OIL CO’s profits tanked.

2. Fuel prices rebounded with the economic surge after covid, and the related global inflation .
As such the REPUBLICAN supporting BIG OIL CO’s profits SURGED - and they are making HUGE profits with HIGH gasoline prices

This is JUST THE FACT…..you can talk about new oil wells all you want but FACT is big oil
does NOT want too much supply - it’s bad for their business .

So blame the “ Dems” hahahah
 
Not an angry post, just correcting your nonsense.

You've had the FACT that this year's profits are offsetting last year's losses in fairly equal measure, so your assertion of getting rich off high oil prices is debunked.

You continue to project your hatred of "Republicans" onto a situation where there is no relevance to the discussion.

It's curious, as opposed to your foolish assertions, that the oil companies were drilling and extracting domestically and we were energy independent, until the Biden administration threatened and then immediately did shut down every bit of domestic production they could affect.

You wonder why your posts have very little traction - they are nonsense, fueled by dishonest sources and your extreme, deep bias against anything that could remotely be associated with Trump or Republicans.

Please refer back to the self examination suggestion - you need it badly.

“ Foolish, Nonsense , biased, and my posts have no traction says scook”
And telling me what I “ need badly” says scook.

Wow you’re on fire today professor .
Try to calm down .
 
Try to calm down and read the post with an effort to understand what it says. It would be refreshing to have you actually respond to what anyone posts in a thoughtful way.

Sooooo condescending this scook.

1. I did read your post and I understand it
2. I disagree with what you posted.

Ok ? So have a nice Washington State Apple and have a nice evening
 
Yes, using one of your favorite phrases (one that you just used in this thread) does sound condescending. That is your standard practice.

You disagree, but don't provide any direct response as to why, even when confronted with facts that contradict your narrative.

It's sad - when you're talking about fishing, the weather or nature (in a non-political way), you're an interesting and reasonable guy.

Or…….your just can’t handle the truth about trump and what happened at our Capitol.
Yup .
 
Classic bgreene - no mention of the capitol in at least this part of this thread, but you need to deny the truth so badly and have no response to what is being talked about that you completely change the subject to something completely irrelevant.

And of course, you have to throw in one of your standard pejorative infantile Trump related, also completely false and irrelevant little slanders. You are so far off the rails in so many ways that it’s hard to imagine you finding your way back. You’re certainly not going the right direction with this nonsense.
 
Scook - for the benefit of all on this site , personal insults being toned down .
Suggest that applies to you too .

Big Oil is this thread topic — and the hypocrisy that they support the Republican Party with huge contributions, while making HUGE profit with high fuel prices — but blaming Dems .
Big oil LOVES high gas prices !!!
And YOU’RE paying for it - the JOKES on all of us
 
Well then, you should probably tone down your insulting pejorative responses and stick to the thread topic, instead of injecting the capitol where it has no relevance.

It's hard to find any hypocrisy in oil companies supporting the party that is generally more business friendly and not, as opposed to the democrats, working hard to destroy their industry. The directors, and by extension the management of all companies have a fiduciary duty to work in the interests of their shareholders, many of whom are pension funds that retired, hard working people rely on for income.

Gas prices are no joke and are largely caused by the Biden administration doing it's absolute best to shut down our domestic energy production, taking us from energy independence to groveling to our sworn enemies for oil.

To my recollection, you have never made any direct response to repeated reminders that Biden said he would, and then did shut down every bit of our energy production that he could affect.

You are the slinger of insults, I observe and comment on your outrageous behavior.

That would be a dishonest liberal judge, or one with an IQ less than his hat size, as you continue to avoid anything like honest conversation.

Big Republican donating OIL Companies LOVE charging scook $ 4 per gallon for gasoline, and then blaming the Democrats ! They'd like to charge you $ 5 per gallon !!

Hahahaha pump that gas scook, pump !!!
 
It's already $5.00+ here, and it's clearly Biden's fault for shutting down our energy independence.

Democrats LOVE high energy costs in pursuit of killing off the fossil fuel industry, while having no cogent plan for transitioning to renewables. Of course the fact that this is a huge form of punishing taxation of the poor is of no consequence to the climate ideologues who get nice fat subsidies from us, the taxpayers, to buy electric cars and don't really care about the people they pretend to represent.

Your thinking on these issues is so simplistic and bias driven that you have no idea what you're talking about. Of course that doesn't quell your snarky, disrespectful, arrogant jackassery.

No cursing please - we frown upon that on this nice site .

Have an apple
 
If you think “jackassery” is cursing, you are too ignorant to go outdoors without adult supervision, you’re just making another clumsy, infantile attempt at arrogant condescension - you should remember that your phony “opinions” aren’t respected here, so they’re not effective. They just make you look more phony and foolish.
