Re: Gas station pet peeves
The
Times
article (
link
) also noted that in addition to Exxon's record net profit of $41 billion, Shell's income was a paltry $31 billion and Chevron's was only $19 billion. These figures were surely and solely the result of the companies' sterling business acumen and had nothing whatsoever to do with greater market forces that effectively penalized ordinary consumers--right? As the article put it,
"Exxon Mobil earned more than $1,287 of profit for
every second
of 2007." So, comparatively speaking, how did your company do in 2007? Perhaps you just didn't work as hard as the geniuses at the oil companies did, no doubt slaving day after day at their desks...
