Pray for the persecuted oil industry!
Royal Dutch Shell is facing persecution from the freedom-hating Eurotrash:
While investors fretted about whether the $27,600,000,000 profits based on the current cost of supply masked deep problems facing the world's second largest non-government oil company, Shell received a barrage of complaints that its earnings were "obscene"...
The company's chief executive, Jeroen van der Veer, said the figures were "satisfactory"
$27,600,000,000 of profits isn't such a big deal, it's only slightly more than the total gross domestic product of Wyoming. And while Shell gives us excellent gas at reletively modest prices, what has Wyoming ever given us?
Remember, it was GOD that decided the exact amount of profits the oil corporations make - every penny in their pockets was carefully put there by almighty GOD.
So if you don't like gas prices, your problem is not with the oil industry, your problem is with GOD.
CNBC -- Exxon Mobil said on Friday record oil prices boosted its fourth-quarter earnings to $11,660,000,000, the highest ever operating profit by a U.S. company. Net earnings per share at the world's largest non-government-controlled oil company rose to $2.13 a share from $1.76 a share last year.
The amount of income for Exxon Mobil last year was more than that of Pennsylvania. Once again, Exxon fuels freedom at a reletively modest price, while what has Pennsylvania ever given us? People should complain that we pay too much for Pennsylvania, not too much for gas!
UPDATE: Even Chevron is being persecuted: they have faced so many baseless allegations of cronyism that they had to rename the "Condoleezza Rice" tanker!
The tanker's name also raised more serious questions of possible conflict of interest for Rice because Chevron does business on six continents and 25 countries and has been sued for alleged human rights abuses in Nigeria....
Chevron officials argued last month that the ship's name was entirely appropriate because it was a special honor for Rice -- part of a longstanding tradition of naming ships after members of the Chevron board. They noted that George Shultz, David Packard and Kenneth T. Derr were all afforded similar honors, and that those names did not change even when honorees went into government service.
Let us pray that God continues to bless the oil industry with hundredfold riches. Amen.
2010 UPDATE: PRAYER WARRIORS STAND AT ATTENTION:
No doubt Obama will exploit the dead oil workers in the recent Gulf of Mexico disaster to force safety and environmental regulations upon the oil industry, even though the voluntary standards have always been good enough:
"We are not supportive of the extensive, prescriptive regulations as proposed in this rule," wrote Richard Morrison, BP's vice president for Gulf of Mexico production. "We believe industry's current safety and environmental statistics demonstrate that the voluntary programs implemented since the adoption of [voluntary standards] have been and continue to be very successful."
