Regardless of how much damage they may create to the financial well being of their customers in the process of gouging them while selling a necessity?
Nobody is forcing the consumers to buy anything.

Regardless of whatever damage they may inflict on the environment?
True science proves that man’s technology and man’s stewardship of privately owned land is the only real environmental protection.

Quote:
Whatever happened to concepts such as ethics and morality?
There is no such thing as "business ethics".
Ethical principles exist for all walks of life, and these principles do not change as one traverses different venues.

I don't just blame the oil companies. I am looking at so many people in jobs that frankly i don't want to do. They do them and provide us with services. There must be a way to help them set their table and feed their kids. It is not just gas. It is a job that pays minimum and for one reason or another they are stuck in that job. What do we do To help? I give money to organizations. I provide food and needs to shelters. I do all those things. I am not the elite rich. I don't make a million dollars a year. I can't everyone. But if we all do what we can we as a nation can feed the people that work hard and can't feed their kids.

Don't back down now that you got me in your sights.
I believe he validated his claim. You seem to be reluctant to accept it because you don't want it to be true. If it's true it under minds your reasons to "hate" Exxon.
