Yeah, wonder how losing 100's of billions, and possibly the whole
company looks on their bottom line?

Trust me, and what we know from lots of history... All that matters
during planning is how it will look on this week's flash report.

Sorry, I don't trust you. Well, I don't know you, but what you say
doesn't work for me.

There is no doubt that the bottom line no longer looks so hot, but
hindsight is never a part of how these things are planned. Short term
profit is way out in front.

Right, they invest 100's of billions on some sort of short term, flash
dream...

Oh, the recent spike in gasoline prices? Nothing to do with supply and
demand, and everything to do with unregulated market speculators.

I'm still stuck on the fact the government makes more profit on a gallon
of gas than the people that invested 100's of billions to get the gas to
the pumps...
