Haut vs Big Oil

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Z,

Please read what the profit margins are. Learn the percentages. As for the men in suits, yes, they would laugh at you. They don't make 10yr loans based on quarterly results. As KIZ said, they lost money for years. YEARS. See the state of the American automakers to see what can happen.

But we can watch how things go for Hugo Chavez to see how your plan would have worked out. I say 3-5 years and its all over.

Again, the percentages bear out that your cost to fill your tank would be greater than 90 bucks. Isn't that rediculous? (What do you drive that takes almost 100 bucks to fill???) What wouldn't be rediculous? What is your threshold for socialism. 8 bucks?

Quote:
Bull****. Not long ago gas was $2. Now it's $3.40 and rising. They were making a profit at $2. Now who's pocketing that extra $1.40 a gallon?

Just making up stuff doesn't support your point. How many gallons of gas are sold in the United States each day? Multiply by 30. Then Multiply by 3. Then figure the rest of the world markets that each of these companies service. Multiply by 30. Multiply by 3. Now take the number of gallons sold and divide the profit by those gallons.

2 bucks a gallon, your killin me.

And gas is from $3 to $3.05 here. Who's being taxed? Seems like you are Z.

Like I said above, the oil companies can still make plenty of profit, enough to reinvest in their business, and make the stock holders happy, while still charging a fair price. Anything that results in record profits quarter after quarter after quarter is not a fair price, it's gouging. You're right, $8/barrel isn't fair, but neither is $70.

I didn't make anything up, and the number of gallons sold every day is not relivant. Who is pocketing that extra $1.40? Does it just disappear into a black hole? It's making somebody rich. Filthy stinking rich. While my friend steve is losing weight because he buys gas instead of food.

You never answered my question. How is gas different from electricity?

grow up and have some respect for your elders

Just because you're older than me doesn't mean you deserve any of my respect. If you want that you have to earn it like everyone else.

Are you really that ignorant?
And I have lived on canned stewed tomatoes and noodles. whaaaa
Maybe it's time for a second job? Lifes not fair, get used to it (Think I already said that, but you don't get it).

I notice you didn't answer the question.

If you like getting raped so much, you should post an ad on craigslist. You'll find lots of guys to come over and lube you up...

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Hey we have a champion. A real thinker. Haut.
He will take on BP and all others with not only his intellect, but his courage.
He will stand up against oppression.
He will not fall, or wilt, or cowardly shuffle off his responsibilities to others.
He is the rightous.
No hurdle to high.
No obstruction shall stand in his way.
For he is not a whiner, he is a leader.
As a liberal, facts will not incumber his directive.
Reality shall not be detract him from his mission.
Rights of others will be modified for the benefit of the many.
He will lie prostrate under Hillary's right boot, with dignity. (looking up at this point would take super human courage)
Capitalism is a farce, now lets take the equipment they built, the property they own, the temples to global warming, the ships of pollution, the technology they developed, and with a hammer in one hand and a sickle in the other we will take to the streets and cry NO MORE. We will drop the price of fuel by a dime. For a week, and then, who knows.

The rightous will prevail.

I would love to see Haut get me a gallon of water, not even clean water, here to the midwest for under three dollars.

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Zmoz do some math for me.

Average out the profits of the oil companies over the last 20 years. Only the last couple of years has there been really good profits. Most of the time, they are crap.

Disregard all the "record" profit headlines. This is just the idiot media playing for the crowd. These record profits arent the result of any back door meetings or brilliant strategedies. They are the result of MERGERS.

Exxon + Mobil = ExxonMobil, divide current profit by two and you no longer have record profits

Chevron + Texaco = Chevron, see above

BP + Amoco + Arco = BP

You know what, I got tons of things to say, but I realize you will blame evil big oil anyway, so I aint gonna waste my fingers.

FYI, those record profits are causing young graduates to be hired straight out of school for 80-100k/yr plus 10-20k sign on bonus. Want a piece of the pie? go to school.

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Zmoz, if you get upset at people making large profit then you are living in the wrong country my friend. The whole ethoss of a capitalist society is profit, to quote from the film "Greed is good!!"

If you can't afford to run your truck then it's time you found something more economical or improve your earnings.

Start living in the real world or you are going to go through life a very sad and bitter man.

P.S When it comes to punctuation etc the word American is spelt with a capitol A.
