Reply to comment by IAMACat_askmenothing in Exxon sues EU in move to block new windfall tax on oil companies by davetowers646

How about you open up morningstar, FT or whatever and look up margins around the world. Tons of farmers going out of business, grocery retail happy to make 4% net. Bars and restaraunts still reeling from covid.

It’s spectacularly difficult to earn much excess profit in a business area that has seen competition over literally millenia.

That’s farmers. You realize who buys the food right? No one is thinking farmers are getting windfall profits ( and if they ever did, they deserve em to plow back into the leaner harvest years ). It’s the global food corps that’re the issue.

How about you provide some facts and information instead of just whataboutism? It would certainly help to make you look less like a stubborn sheep and more like a logical person.

You very clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

And you are very clearly afraid to do your own research, since facts could upend your worldview and we can’t have that, right?

Says the guy who linked nothing, you’re pathetic.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Welcome to the real world dumbass lol
