Profits are hitting super-records and oil companies cash in on the devastion
of and loss of American lives. One can easily imagine this conversation:
"This is a time to celibrate!" Exxon incoming President Mr. Rex Tillerson
says as he clinks glasses with staff members even as, in New Orleans and
elsewhere, there are probably bodies still floating in Lousianna waters and
as Americans are being forced to pay record prices at the pump. The oil
companies give no heed whatsoever to suggestions they lower prices, not even
for decency's sake.
"No way! This time is OUR time! Yup, sure, it's quite unfair that New
Orleans is having a time of it. Bad things happen to good people. But it is
also a time of incredibly good things happening ... to us!" says Mr.Raymond.
[Mr. Raymond plans to retire as President by year's end] He laughs: "We
figure every dead body found in New Orleans represents an extra ten million
profit for us."
Exxon alone is showing massive massive profits - $7.64 billion profit just
this past quarter alone, probably small actually, compared to what they will
show after their Louisianna gouge.
"We're making Microsoft look like mini-mouse."
Microsoft, on the other hand will be donating millions in cash to the relief
effort, including telecommunication equipment, cash, technical personal and
matching dolllar for dollar all the donations of its employees."
In contrast, incoming Exxon President Exxon Mr. Rex Tillerson says:
"Not one damn red cent! This is America, and its dog eat dog!" His collegue
Mr.Raymond chimes in "Or should we say, it's the rich eat the poor!" raising
chuckles throughout the room.
Then Mr. Tillerson's mistress slurrs: "Who the ***** are they to tell us what
to do?" Drunk, she stumbles a bit and some of the blood red contents of her
cup spill on her scarlet gown and the white wall-to-wall. She mutters what
sounds like to be the 'N' word.
