Last year, Exxon made $4.5 million an hour
 

After ringing up the biggest annual profit in U.S. corporate history in 2005, Exxon Mobil on Thursday announced that it topped that number in 2006. Riding the wave of high crude-oil and gasoline prices, and despite depressed fourth-quarter earnings, the company reported a $39.5 billion profit, up more than 9 percent from the previous year.

Its revenue of $377.6 billion exceeded the gross domestic product of all but 25 countries. :1orglaugh

That's some pretty fuzzy logic you got goin' on their hoss.

If it was about oil, then the US would have done a deal with Saddam which allowed the oil to flow without having to spend half a trillion dollars on a war to get it. Saddam would still have his country, there would be no war and no need for massive expenditure.

And yet they stiill haven't paid that little fine for their little oil accident way back when... hmmm.

good mention
this is surely poor

I can't stand them. All they do is rape the land here in the South, and throw parties to distract everyone.

nice profit...

it's the most profitable industry allright

i am suprised more ppl having commented.

it's the largest profit ever in the US

i am sorry, but i wasn't aware that Saddam was accepting of exporting oil to the US

Actually, wouldn't the Federal Reserve's profits top that pretty much every year?

good for them to turn a profit. If you don't like their product then don't use it.

wait all the right wing pundits say they only make 10 cents a gallon. That bullshit cracks me up

Thats a lot of money :pimp

ya, sorry..
it's the largest profit ever for a private US company.

i heard somewhere that the federal reserve is also a private company, but we wont talk about that, ok?

thatsa lotta fuckin money mang.:pimp

As long as you're aware of it being a private corporation, I'm fine with not talking about it. :)

Maybe they should just team them up with Ford and everything would be peachy again.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

sounds like the making for a new thread ;)

Make it and we'll have a nice discussion. :winkwink:

I don't really care when a company profits, let them make trillions. But we should not be giving tax breaks to companies like Exxon.

and the rest they wasted on hookers, booze and gambling ...

Funny, thats kinda more than I make
