Poor ExxonMobil Only Made $10.9 Billion this Quarter
Posted by Dan Stafford at May 1, 2008 01:41 PM
It was announced today that ExxonMobil was 'disappointed' with only earning $10.9 billion in profits this quarter, and for you lay people, that works out to $119.45 million per day.
But, I guess if I were part of an industry that received $118 billion in subsidies from the federal government, then I might be sad that I'm only making 43 billion and change each year.
Every time someone complains about us 'whack job' environmentalist and how we're to blame for the rising gas prices, I'd like to point out that I'll have to work for 2,986.3 more years to earn what ExxonMobil did in one day last quarter, so maybe, just maybe, we should look at who's profiting from the prices.
