Our Big Oil Companies now making a fortune …on us

[Destroyer]

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

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

[scook]

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 .

[oteps]

dropped sharply? U mean $.15?
rebounded? up $2.80?

[scook]

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.
