Someone should ask me how upset I am that Exxon's profit fell this year. Really.It amazes me that people are talking about this in the news as a sign that the oil industry is in trouble. Look, people, Exxon did not lose money. The company did not take a 33% loss. They lost 33% of their PROFIT. Boo-freakin'-hoo. This is the same company that posted the record, all-time high profit last quarter. They still posted a huge profit.It must really annoy me, because I don't even feel like continuing to rant about it.Sometimes, people are dumb.:: posted by Tmber :: 11:33 AM ::

funny thing, i got into an argument with someone who INSISTED that since exxon's profits were actually a small percentage of their actual income, it was acceptable. "why don't you go after someone making 50% profits off of etsy?" they said, as though the $200 a year off of etsy somehow compared to the $45B from exxon.
so i stopped talking. because, really. sometimes you just can't argue with people.
