It comes with a cost, my friend, it comes with a cost.

HungLikeJesus · 04-28-2011, 01:02 PM

Perhaps you need one of these.

Only $19.99!

plthijinx · 04-28-2011, 01:10 PM

Wow. Exxonmobil posted record profits again. Imagine that.

infinite monkey · 04-28-2011, 01:13 PM

Those poor paupers.

Just got an email from my commuting buddy who says gas just shot up to 4.15.

When I get fucked in the ass I like to enjoy it.

BP had huge profits too. Even with the oil spill "clean-up" expenses.

Are the poor darlings still getting tax breaks?

infinite monkey · 04-29-2011, 07:03 AM

Yep, 4.15 this morning. I guess I'll be walking home from work.

Mother flipping fuckers. I hope they choke on their single malt scotch and suffocate in their satin sheets. Somebody's getting rich. The rest of us are dying, here.

hang on IM, don't sit up straight yet!

from the NYT

Quote:

First-quarter profit rose to $4.55 billion, or $2.27 a share, from $1.84 billion, or 92 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 34 percent, to $46.7 billion.

Excluding $175 million in charges for job cuts, the company earned $2.36 a share, easily topping the $1.94 that analysts had expected, according to the average on Thomson Reuters.

The company’s downstream, or refining and marketing business, posted profits of $82 million in the quarter, down from $136 million a year earlier, but far better than the $333 million loss the previous quarter.

I know how I'll get home tonight! I'm going to stand at the ramp with a sign that reads "Will Marry For Gas Money."

How about "be an internet concubine"? You'll be having sex virtually all the time.

Because then some numnuts will be looking for my website while he's driving, and kill me.

Really, you need to think these things through. I don't go into this lightly.

Oh, and Tax Breaks are NOT subsidies.

Anyone ever compare the cost of a cup of Starbucks to what they charge for it? How about milk? Bought a bag of coffee today, use to be a pound, now it is 7 oz. For the same price....

Revenues don't show how much it cost to run the company. Only one side of the balance sheet.

Happy Monkey · 04-29-2011, 08:16 PM

Profit includes both sides of the balance sheet.
