by that same token, i love it how a lot of clueless mf'ers love to bitch and moan about Exxon Mobil's profits, yet they have no problem supporting their Starbucks habit with $4 cups of coffee. Do they bitch about Microsoft? No, all they have are these conspiracy theories about how Bush and the oil companies have some kind of agreement to take over the world.
fucking same retards bitch when gas prices go up,blaming President Bush for high gas prices. Have these people ever opened an Economics 101 book? Where were these people when their highschool Econ teachers were drawing supply and demand curves on the blackboard?
Some people just need to educate themselves before arguing politics and the economy.

Same thing with oil and OPEC.
But even there, ExxonMobils (and the other oil companies) profits werent out of line, so I dont see what the big fuss is all about. |
