"The Oil and Gas Companies Are Robbing Folks"

Yes, I hear you; What's new!!? Well for starters an American President is calling them out. 

"President Donald Trump says oil giants Chevron and ExxonMobil are, "making too much money" from high oil prices amid the war in Iran.

"I don't like it. They're making too much money based on a shortage," .... "They're going to give some of that back to the public."

Chevron posted a record second-quarter adjusted earnings of 12 billion on July 31st, its highest quarterly profit in six years, while ExxonMobil reported adjusted earnings of 14.7 billion.

This is reported in The Epoch Times newspaper (augh 5-11 2026 page A-3)

Hell, I don't like it either. As I have said before, I believe that the oil and gas beneath our feet belongs to the people who live in this country or whichever country it is extracted. The question here is  NOT that we are being robbed. The question is, what are we going to do about it? This is a sticky question for which I have no solid answer ... But I do know this ... the oil companies are scared shitless about losing their control ... so start raising hell and threaten to support the nationalization of the oil and gas industry ... this or you can wait to see if Trump actually does anything. 

Peace be with you, Mayor Mark

# "F" Chevron and ExxonMobil. Greedy bastards!!
