40 billion dollars.

A special Saturday post. While I was out getting coffee and donuts this morning, the newspaper had an impressive headline:

EXXON PROFIT $390,600,000

I could be confused on the numbers. I'm not even 100% sure about the newspaper I saw it in. BUT I do know it was $40 billion dollars.

How in the hell do they justify keeping gas prices high with that kind of profit? And why exactly are we still having explosions, pipe leaks, and other problems while they make this sort of money?

And why hasn't Congress investigated this? They investigated steriods in baseball, but not this?

I'm more than a little outraged.
