“.I stand by my earlier suggestion....$500K makes them look worse than not giving anything at all.”
If they had given more than $500k, there would be outcry about Exxon cutting jobs in its entire supply channels while had enough to give away. THAT would be a PR nightmare.
I say what a private company chooses to do or not do with their money is what freedom is about and we can choose to purchase their product or not. Seems to me lots round these parts are starting to sound like the “fair share disenfranchised crowd” that camped out across the country screaming about the 1%ers. Who give a damn what a private company (with shareholders) decides to do with its own profits
