2. I qualified that question with "price gouging" |
|
If they didn't do that, there wouldn't be as much of a problem.

8. is a 10 percent profit margin price gouging? am i a pig?!?!?!?!?!? |
|
chevron makes about 5.3 billion per quarter on sales of about 54 billion. BP is about the same even after paying out for the gulf disaster. http://istockwizard.blogspot.com/2011/04/chevron-corp-nyse-cvx-q1-earnings.htmlhttp://www.marketwatch.com/story/bp-net-profit-up-17-production-drops-2011-04-27?link=MW_latest_newsmy profit margin is about 40 percent so i must be a real OINKER!! ok, ok i only make about 30 k net so maybe just a piglet.
