the msm gets a lotta mileage outta the tired “big oil”.
people hate big oil.
yet, 90% of oil is controlled by governments, not u.s oil co’s.
That's because people are largely ignorant. They hate "Big Oil" because the MSM and politicians tell them to. The government makes more on a gallon of gasoline than either the gas station or Big Oil, but you don't hear many politicians carping about Big Government being a problem.
Remember, no matter how rich, how powerful or how Big and oil company becomes, it cannot levy taxes or put people in jail.
Big Government is always worse than Big [insert capitalist industry here].
