exxon reported profits of $39.5 billion dollars on record earnings last year.
and, fun fact, our tax dollars subsidize oil production here in the united states and abroad.
exxon also receive billions in corporate welfare and subsidies.
i mean, call me crazy, but shouldn’t a company that is making record profits be exempt from receiving subsidies and tax breaks?
i know, i’m just a crazy lefty, but that seems like it would make sense, no?
what if, and i know this might sound nuts, our government subsidised sustainable domestic energy production and stopped subsidising companies who increase our reliance
upon foreign oil?
ok, i’ll stop with the crazy talk now.
in other news: my refrigerator is about to be photographed for a fancy magazine photo shoot.
this is all well and good, except that i’m concerned that my refrigerator might start to make prima-donna-ish demands as it becomes more and more famous.
my refrigerator has already battled drug addiction and eating disorders, and it has been notoriously petulant when the papparazzi take it’s picture on the beach in tulum or anguila.
maybe i should be a good celebrity refrigerator parent and restrict it’s involvement with the media.
and other news: jonathan ames had a show last night at mo pitkin’s that was fun and shambolic.
any show that involves:
pillow fighting
paddling
people wrestling while wearing prosthetic genitalia(but with prosthetic legs removed)
hula-hoop-ing
and whatnot,
is ok with me.
