The definition of evil...

And so, while we've been paying almost $3/gallon for gas...(can you imagine working for minimum wage? A tank of gas would be an entire shift of pay....), and our airline infrastructure has been falling apart, Exxon and Shell are proud to report record profits - link. Shell had profits of 7.4 billion dollars; Exxon had 9.9 billion, in the last QUARTER! That's in three months! But poor Chevron, they only had an increase of 12% in the last quarter to 3.59 billion.
Here's what Shell's CFO had to say: "We are capturing the benefits of high oil and gas prices and refining margins" Chief Financial Officer Peter Voser. Reports that Exxon executives are using $100 bills to wipe their butts have not been confirmed yet.

What can be said...sometimes life in a capitalist society is great. Times like this, it comes, bites you in the ass, and makes you pay $50 to fill up your car. Yay capitalism...
