So since you guys are so upset with Exxon's profit-- buy their stock! Then maybe you can make $$$$ while sitting by the phone.
Or, as it sounds, you'd rather not, and complain about someone else who did.
I know-- it's slow everywhere. And the price of gas has a lot to do with it. If the cost of filling your tank goes up, and you don't have extra income, you don't have money to buy things. Then that in turn makes the economy slow down (It's called Reaganomics-- same things as increasing taxes kills OUR jobs at the bottom-- while tax cuts, or lower prices get freight moving because people have more money to invest). But there's three lessons to learn here:
#1: Reaganomics works. Why hasn't the government offered to cut out gas taxes to lower the price? Everyone complains about Exxon making profits, and they at least provide a service and the oil. What does government do for their 100% profit on each gallon of gas???? Absolutely nothing. They need to do away with gas tax until this situation calms down.
#2:Who really profits from all this? Iran. OPEC. They stirred the pot by threatening nuclear war. Gas shot up. We need their oil, so they stir the pot ever more. We should have been drilling ANWAR ten years ago, but the environmentalists said don't disturb that frozen tundra. You can blame your sitting by the phone on those environmentalists...........if we had started drilling 10 years ago, our own oil would be on the market right about now. And we wouldn't be fighting wars for oil..........
#3: Blaming others, calling for punishing others, helps no one. So government makes them suffer as well. Does that ever get you a better job??????? No. You control your own situation. No one can make you sit by the phone. And putting Exxon out of business only puts more people in line with you in the job hunt. Quit complaining, put on a game face, make a plan-- and go make money!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck guys! You've all got more patience than I do. I'd have been gone the first time I got less than a 40 hour check.......
May the Good Lord watch over each one of you! (my bark's a lot worse than my bite)
