Wait and see.

They have the balls and now they have the means.

Person complaining about Exxon Mobil excess profits

For most oil companies their PROFIT margin is not that big. For Exxon Mobil in 2021 it was 8.3%. The estimate for this year is 10%. A lot of people mistake GROSS revenue (all the money a company is paid) with PROFIT (the amount of money left over after they pay all of their expenses.

The gas pump kept going off every $2.00 worth. I think they were having to do an additional credit check.

I keep hearing gas will be $6 a gallon in Illinois. That’s ridiculous. I got gas this afternoon. It was only $5.99.9 a gallon.

Ironically, the meal was a complete waste of time.

Ordered an English muffin and bacon. asked for grape jelly or marmalade when it arrived.

How is it possible that a restaurant only carries is strawberry?

Ate the bacon. And left.

Bet you're glad you asked, right?

Might be a supply chain issue.

I can’t get honey or some maple syrup. I’m actually buying it retail to get by…….
