Sorry if I am skeptical but I have a hard time believing that. Quote
Porter Posted 13 hours ago Report Posted 13 hours ago This just makes gas prices even more than a slap in the face. If we’re the king of oil then why in the heck are we paying ridiculous fuel prices?!! DCT 1 Quote

Sorry if I am skeptical but I have a hard time believing that. Not all but about 80%. 20% finances my poker. Not really concerned what you believe. The govt. believes me. At least the IRS does. Quote

At least the IRS does. Well obviously you are concerned or you wouldn’t have responded but I like the Ronald Reagan belief “Trust but verify” and until I see receipts I am very skeptical. Either way the American people are being and have been price gouged by Exxon, Chevron and many other oil and gas companies since this war started. Their profits have doubled from the 2nd quarter last year to the 2nd quarter this year. At the end of the day it’s blood money in my opinion. If you to want be happy about it knock yourself out.

I was answering your questions that you directed to me. Not concerned if you believe them or not. I am happy that I can contribute to those charities. Reagan 1 Quote

That price gouging not only affects the price of fuel but everything else an American buy. I also tithe at my church which supports a lot different ministries but it’s not with blood money. It’s with honest hard earned money. Quote

So what you are saying is it's okay to reap benefits just don't celebrate it. Gotcha BTW, not one of those charities or the church asked how I was able to give the money. Helping to spread good will with my investment monies. That's all. Quote

Celebrating Americans getting the shaft because your bank account is getting fat from Exxon bending people over at the pump is not cool. There are soldiers losing their lives over Exxon exploiting this crisis. Maybe that’s something you should have kept in your head instead of putting in post. If you can’t understand that I don’t know what to tell you. Tithing and contributing to charities is a great thing. Quote

And you wonder how insults get started on here.. You are really twisting aren’t you. Exxon along with other oil and gas companies are exploiting this crisis with Iran to the tune of doubling their profits from last year. 7.1 billion to 14.2 billion while soldiers are losing their lives. As a 7 year military veteran I find it disgusting. As my original post said Americans are being gouged at the pump. Maybe by the end of the year gas will be $6 a gallon and you can get on here and celebrate your bank account getting fat because of it. SMH Quote

SMH This is what you posted: There are soldiers losing their lives over Exxon exploiting this crisis. That reads as though Exxon is causing the soldier's deaths. As if the war is being run by Exxon. Is that what you mean? I think you meant to say Exxon is exploiting this crisis while soldiers are losing their lives. That would make a little more sense. Quote
mat Posted 38 minutes ago Report Posted 38 minutes ago I don’t agree with the direction of the war. Big oil and many other industries have been exploiting things for decades for mega profit, nothing new. Right or wrong it has positive or negative effects for most citizens. I don’t think anyone on here is OK the loss of military life but none of us can do anything about it. AggiesAreWe 1 Quote
