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.

@AlliFlowers @georgetakei @Rasta $2.95? Where are you???? I’m feeling lucky to pay under 5 bucks.

@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.
