On yahoo news these were the top two headlines.

Economy shrinks at 3.8 percent pace in 4Q

Exxon Mobil sets record with $45.2 billion profit

So when does the empire building addiction end for these people? Because if things go bad to worse, there won't be anything left to milk/rob/rape. If they're not that addicted I guess they'll just take their winnings and run when the place goes to shit.

It's always been here. It's just alot easier for people to notice now. If they wanna win, they're gonna have to start supressing the media alot more than they do already.

Um, what? 4th quarter profit....in the fiscal year (ending in September, I think) or 2008 when oil prices were the lowest they'd been in many years? How? What? (still don't think oligopolies are juicing us turnips?)

Correlation does not indicate causation.

Exxon Mobile makes 90% of it's profit from Transporting product for other countries. The cost of crude oil and refined fuels has almost no bearing on thier profits. They transport those products for other countries in those really huge tankers and charge a hefty price to do it.

When Saidia Arabia wants to send 500,000 barrles of oil to Japan.. they pay Exxon a large sum of cash to get it there.

The US economy isn't the only one in the crapper, though.

I dunno. I still don't like them.
