The next time you see high gas prices, remember that Exxon posted $9.1 billion in earnings for the third quarter of this year. The money is coming out of consumers’ pockets and going back to Exxon’s wealthy shareholders, to which it gave $8.1 billion in Q3.
@SWeir Coastal Alabama. @georgetakei @Rasta
@AlliFlowers I'll be near there in the spring, keep the prices low, I'll be burning a lot of gas
@Rasta Come visit!
@AlliFlowers I would if we are nearby. I have been there before, but my next trip will be Arkansas
@Rasta Oh dude, that’s like a country away!
@AlliFlowers I know . My grandson that I've never held, lives there
@Rasta Oh that’s exciting!
@AlliFlowers my daughter had another son, 22 years after the first. We had him with us, traveling the Cabot Trail, and he flew down to meet his brother, but we can't fly, my wife has spinal damage and can't take turbulence, so we drive (usually) but now that the grandson was grown, we weren't planning any more trips. And to throw a wrench into it, my son has a baby due here, before we leave
@Rasta It’s why we have children. So we can spend their formative years embarrassing them, and they can spend our golden years making us run around.
@AlliFlowers my daughter moved to the USA, we see her least of all, as we age and have more restrictions, it would be easier, and cheaper to fly her here yearly
@Rasta I totally understand that.
@AlliFlowers @georgetakei @Rasta you live in an area which allows unabated fracking and exploration. It's the same across the country. Oil & gas cuts slack to these areas.
I can drive 55 miles east and pay 30-40 cents less/gal in a county that is riddled with wells and continuous fracking and also they own almost all of property owner's mineral rights.
@axeshun @AlliFlowers @georgetakei @Rasta as long as we're griping about gas prices, let's take a moment to thank the green Biden administration for reducing oil supply JUST ENOUGH to maximize the profits of those evil oil companies and not a drop more.
Almost like they planned it that way. Nah, can't be. Oil companies are bad, after all.
@AlliFlowers @georgetakei @Rasta $2.95? Where are you???? I’m feeling lucky to pay under 5 bucks.
