What if ExxonMobile was the last US owned company left anywhere in the world? Would people cry then if they made a profit?

What if they made No profit and layed everyone off, would people be happy with that?
 
How about we cry about their environmental record, their slow research for alternative fuels, their hiring of women, I don't know, but for gosh sakes there has to be something more evil than making a profit.

I see GM lost 3.25 Billion in the last quarter.
 
Bitching about that sounds like a good idea.

You can get a Honda Civic or Geo Metro from the 90's that gets 40MPG, and the car companies are still putting small vehicles out getting mid 20's. And then the Prius gets 43 and they call it revolutionary. They all deserve to lose money.

hahaha .308 just own your own business to see how some people look at your making a profit.  I am amazed at the number of people in Middletown who think small businesses should be open for their pleasure and work for free.

it doesnt matter how many great gas mileage cars we get because truckers is what is really being affected by this, you cant make a truck that gets 40 mpg. Prices of everything is going to have to go up to keep the truckers making money

So Pacman..ever think that attitude you mentioned is a natural progression brought on by the entitlement mentality that our ever socialist leaning government has unwittingly given so many people?
