Exxon, one of the most greedy, destructive, short sighted companies on earth, on PR blitz
[...]
Nor does Exxon plan to build a new refinery in the United States or otherwise rush to change its investment plans to mollify critics who say it is not investing enough to bring oil prices down.
[...]
Here's an idea.
Largely useless, bought and sold scum who hold office as congress in Washington pass antitrust legislation to break up Exxon, and other giant conglomerates, and restore actual competition, they all claim to adore so much, to the market place.
A few companies control every phase of oil production, from ordering wars to take oil, to extracting, refining, distributing and pricing it, to paying unethical, not so bright, right wing lunatic, phony scientists large sums of money to dispute environmental science (promote a biblical world view) in public forums to confuse the issues in the minds of citizens.
Of course a company this big does not have to mollify critics. That is true of ALL gigantic companies created, like Frankenstein monsters, for profit at the expense of all else, by the Reagan administration's right wing extremist tinkering 25 years ago.
Giant oil, agribusiness, pharmaceuticals and other "health care" conglomerates, telecoms and media and all other ...all...all enormous, multinational, multibillion dollar conglomerates, who are so big they have eclipsed the nation state as the locus of power, but, unlike the nation state, are not answerable to anything or one, especially because they buy and sell politicians like so much raw wheat.
They are so big, so vertically and horizontally integrated that are virtually impervious to popular movements.
