    billion     the size of Exxon Mobil’s
    quarterly profits, helped by rising
    oil prices of late
  • 38%
     increase     from last year’s levels –
    an increase which missed Wall Street’s hefty estimates source

Biz: Why Exxon is an evil, unbelievably greedy company

  • Over the years, Exxon Mobil has been making major profits at levels larger than most of the countries in the world. They’re No. 2 on Fortune’s Global 500. source
  • Over the last 17 years, after a deal that went sour, they’ve actively sabotaged oil fields in Texas, filling them with junk and plugging up wells with explosives. source
  • In response to all of this, the company could have to pay some $1 billion in fines to the state – which, considering, seems a bit like a slap on the wrist. source
