Exxon took less profit in runup to election to slash oil prices, affect voting (crosspost)

Posted by marmar, to whom my hat is tipped:

Taxpayer group says Exxon took less profit in runup to election to slash oil prices, affect voting.

Read. Comment. Vote!

(So, let's see ... ExxonMobil manipulated the market, the pResident used the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to manipulate the market, Royal Dutch Shell gamed their oil production numbers to hide the oncoming peak of oil production, and the House of Saud has made unauthorized reporting of petroleum news a high crime ... sounds like S.O.P. to me ...)

--p!

1. myself and so many others claimed this was going on, the MSM poo-poo'ed the idea

and, gee, here it turns out to be true, again.

How do I get one of those high-payin' pundit jobs? Oh, that's right... I guess you have to be WRONG on calling the consequences to make the big bucks. :grr:
